 Hey guys welcome back to my youtube channel. I thought I'd do a video today of Giveta Tanakh. I've done a video here before but I thought I'd bring out my new favorite camera toy the Fimi Pam 2 and also try to see what the recording quality looks like in 4k for change. Usually I'm shooting in 1080p which is basically lower resolution. So this is the first station here which is one of the entertainment complexes in Jerusalem. Now Giveta Tanakh literally means Bible Hill. The Tanakh is a Hebrew acronym for Torah Naviim Ketuvim. Basically the Old Testament for people unfamiliar with the divisions of the books. And Giveta Tanakh is one of the few exposed hilltops here in Jerusalem and it's undeveloped which in Jerusalem is like not many places like this. It's a really nice little place to come. People are walking their dogs. Youngsters. Youngsters. They sound like an old foggy here. I'm 32 but teenagers are coming here sometimes to just hang out whatever. It's according to GoJerusalem.com. The Hills Curious Name comes from its association with the passage in the book of Joshua delineating the territory of the Israelite tribe of Judah. Then the boundary ascended into the valley of Hinnom. Hinnom along the southern flank of the Jebusites that is Jerusalem. The boundary then ran up to the top of the hill which flanks the valley of Hinnom on the west at the northern end of Emacrophaim. So there you go that's a bit of history. So that is the one side. It's not a particularly big space here but it is pretty much unsullied by human development. What you're seeing there off to the left that's the Scottish church. It's a church owned by the church of Scotland and they have a hotel up there and they also have a there's a church. That is the church and for those who are know their flags you'll notice the Scottish flag flying. I got married not exactly in the church obviously but just a little bit in front of the church. That's where my wife and I had our wedding and they're opening a wine bar soon which is going to be quite cool. They also have a property in Tveria which is at Tiberius in English. So this is kind of its smaller Jerusalem counterpart if you will. As you can see it's pretty overgrown here. There's a few of these little spots like this in and around Jerusalem. So where we're looking now we're looking off to the east. That is the Danbutia Kotel which I mentioned before and where we're going to get up to in a second is going to be a tremendous view looking eastward. So as usual I make these videos it's about four o'clock here. I tend to do these when I kind of wrapped up work for the day and this is looking eastward here and that is looking out over Seal 1 and east Jerusalem. So some people don't like the name east Jerusalem because I think in the right wing Israeli world is considered ineffable because it's considered to grant legitimately legitimacy to the idea of east Jerusalem being a separate city. I personally don't buy into that because anyone who spend any time going around east Jerusalem knows that effectively it does function as a separate city. So that is their fact on the ground whether you like that fact or not it is the city but the vast majority there's a few Jewish settlements in there. The vast majority of its residents consider themselves Arab Palestinians regard Israel as a foreign occupier etc etc. When I went to Abutor a few days ago for this YouTube channel all you see is Palestinian flags on the roads. So this is Givata Tanakh really really nice sunset skies here that is the Orient Hotel. Orient's one of the Israel Tal properties and it's a luxury hotel. I think it's four star. They've got it where you can see there. The little cube on the roof is a rooftop restaurant slash place to take some sun. Looking southbound now those towers in the distance are towers in Giloh. So Giloh is technically over the green line and just after Giloh there's a place called Har Giloh. Giloh is one of the rigged neighborhoods of Jerusalem which are neighborhoods around the periphery that Jerusalem has built. They're all considered by the international community settlements etc etc not exactly sure what this is. I doubt this is of a historic import just nearby the graffiti just a random structure up here and not so many people are up here I don't think a lot of people know about this. Coming back to the view eastward so this I'm using to track my bearings now northwest this is the old city of Jerusalem I just passed the church and you can see there the walls of the old city which date back to the early 16th century built by Suleiman the magnificent. I'm not such a history buff but as I'm researching these youtube videos I'm like learning I'm like learning these bits of info which is quite fun history is cool so getting back to this view you can see as is often the case the separation barrier there here we have some birds and often the distance there would be that unique triangular structure is the Augustus Victoria part of the hospital network of East Jerusalem that meandering concrete structure there is the barrier other side is Abu Diz and then coming down here we have the Mains Zion Hotel this slope leads down to the old city and the police are frequently doing their speed traps and ticketing operations here so Jerusalem is at once a one of the oldest cities in the world a historical city and simultaneously a city just like any other city where you can get a speeding ticket and whatever else you do.
