1897 Jerusalem, enhanced
Ive walked this same street

 

Thats really cool!

 

Are the guys wearing the black Shriners' hats Ottoman Turks, some segment of the Jewish population, or some other people?

 

Was still Ottoman control then - basically 1516 to 1917

This pic is just after the turn of the century

 

1896

 

I love these videos. That dude on the bike got pummeled.

 

Wow! 123 years and Jerusalem look the same. That's consistency.
