1_ Jerusalem is the name of a city claimed as the capital of the State of Israel and partly as the capital of the State of Palestine. Its conflicts come almost from its foundation prior to the Jews as a village 5000 years ago, it was invaded, razed and rebuilt by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Macedonians, Seleucids, Romans, Parthians, Byzantines, Sassanids, Turks, Fatimids, Tatars, Mamluks, Ottomans, British, Jordanians, . . . This led to the city having different names according to the period of government, such as the current one in Arabic 1575; 1604; 1602; 1600; 1615; 1583; 1618; 1587; ( al cuds "La Santa" ) , but in Spanish - and in almost all the West - the Hebrew version 1497 is taken; 1456; 1512; 1493; 1468; 1513; 1464; 1473; 1500; 1463; 1497; 1460; 1501; ( ieruyalaim ) which is interpreted as 1506; 1497; 1512; 1492; 1513; 1500; 1493; 1501; (irja yalom "City of Peace") for its religious character not only for Jews but also for Christians and Muslims, although it is most likely that its origin is pagan, and that at first it was a city dedicated to the Semitic sun god Shalem.
