| History | Bef 32 | Jericho, Palestine |
| Jesus passed through Jericho where he healed blind beggars and inspired a local chief tax-collector named Zacchaeus to repent of his dishonest practices. The road between Jerusalem and Jericho is the setting for the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Jericho may be the oldest continuously occupied city in the world having evidence of settlement dating back to 9000 BC. By about 9400 BC a town had grown to more than 70 modest dwellings. Te town had a massive stone wall over 3.6m high, and 1.8m wide at the base. Inside the wall was a tower over 3.6m high, with an internal staircase of 22 stone steps. The wall and tower were unprecedented in human history, and would have taken a hundred men more than a hundred days to construct. The wall may have been a defence against flood water with the tower used for ceremonial purposes. | ||

| History | Abt 33 | Golgotha (Hill of Calvary), Jerusalem, Palestine |
| Jesus of Nazareth, a Jew (not a Christian), is crucified by Jews on Golgotha (Hill of Calvary), Jerusalem for claiming to be of the line of David, the Messiah (the 'anointed one' or 'Christ'). Only the apostle St. John (brother of St, James) with Jesus' mother Mary remained near the foot of the cross on Calvary as Christ dies. St. John (of Patmos) becomes the author of several New Testament works including the Gospel of John, the Epistles of John, and the Book of Revelation which he would write in on the Island of Patmos, Greece in 95 A.D. before dying at Ephesus, Ionia, Turkey abt 100 A.D. 3 years after Jesus' execution, Saul, known as Paul of Tarsus (5 B.C. to c 67 Rome) a Hellenistic (Hebrew) Jew, is traveling from Jerusalem 'on the road to Damascus', Syria, to arrest followers of Jesus of Nazareth. En route Paul encounters a blinding light and hears revelations from Christ and is converted. St. Paul who probably never met Jesus would be instrumental in documenting 14 epistles of the New Testament. He would be executed in Rome and his remains interred in 'St. Paul's Outside the Walls', Rome. The Christian Bible which contains the Old and New Testaments was compiled between the 2nd and 12th centuries from historical stories and sagas to inform people 'what life is about; a human interpretation of divine inspiration'. The Old Testament is mainly metaphorical, figure of speech, expressing things in terms of another. The New Testament is regarded by scholars with greater objectivity, in that Jesus probably did exist and the case for his 'resurrection' may yet be proven by a man made religion, science. The Western civilisation has benefited from its origin in the 'fertile crescent' of the middle east some 13,000 years ago. Man learned how to grow cereals on a scale to feed towns and armies. Armies developed weaponry and a language to share and document its victories. Unlike other continents EurAsia benefits from one land mass that shares a common East West latitude allowing Empires to flourish, innovation to develop and occasionally germs to spread. | ||
