During the centuries of the crusades,jerusalem was the ethereal vision that moved the armies of europe and islam, but for almost 700 years after the crusades ended,the actual city of jerusalem existed as a shadowy,forgotten backwater,slowly falling into ruin and decay. Not until the 19th century did the city again begin to come alive and reemerge from behind its walls.
在十字军东征的几个世纪,耶路撒冷是飘渺的景象感动了欧洲和伊斯兰的军队,但近700年的十字军东征结束后,耶路撒冷市作为一个实际存在的影子,渐渐地被人们遗忘,慢慢地陷入破产和腐烂。直到19世纪才市又开始活跃起来,并从后面的墙壁重现。
