UTL Lecture: The History of Jerusalem

9 Mar

Palais des congrès, Quai des Récollets, 56300 Pontivy

Challenges and realities of a thousand-year-old capital. Mikael JASMIN PhD in Oriental Archaeology (Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne) and co-director of the Archaeological Mission at Tel Achziv (Israel), Mikael Jasmin is an independent researcher. A unique city where the three monotheistic religions converge and the weight of the past seems to weigh heavily on the present. Jerusalem is an open book on the past, yet one that is read very much in the present: passionate approaches and reasoned attempts intertwine, making it difficult to understand. Recent archaeological discoveries are enabling us to rewrite entire chapters of its history, revealing a fascinating and human city… and renewing the dialogue between science and religion.
