- When Steven Spielberg and George Lucas set out to make Raiders of the Lost Ark they wanted to make a fun, action-adventure, B-movie like the ones they grew up with. But they got a lot more than they bargained for. Through a range of really simple filmmaking technique executed frequently and excellently, Raiders of the Lost Ark became an instant classic, birthing the Indiana Jones franchise, and remaining in the public imagination for over 40 years.
- Jerusalem (Wikipedia)
Jerusalem (/dʒəˈruːsələmˌ -zə-/ jə-ROO-sə-ləm, -zə-; Hebrew: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם Yerushaláyim, pronounced [jeʁuʃaˈlajim]; Arabic: القُدس al-Quds, pronounced [al.quds], local pronunciation: [il.ʔuds]) is a city in the Southern Levant, on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, and is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Both the State of Israel and Palestine claim Jerusalem as their capital. Israel maintains its primary governmental institutions there, and Palestine ultimately foresees it as its seat of power. Neither claim is widely recognized internationally.
