Show Holy City in Early Days. Ancient Jerusalem stood on four hills, now almost entirely molded together, to-gether, and the intervening valleys filled with debris. Mount Zion is that height on the southwest, the city of David, made conspicuous today by the towers of the German ecclessiastical buildings for which the former kaiser gave the land. Mount Moriah is on the East, the site of Solomon's temple, separated from Mount Zion by the valley of the Tyropoeou, Mount Be-zetlia Be-zetlia is on the North and Mount Akra on the northwest, the two latter representing repre-senting the crowded quarters of the modern city. |
