Jerusalem 1882: The Haram al-Sharif Earthquake That Nearly Killed a Sultan's Men
Om avsnittet
In 1882, a sudden earthquake struck Jerusalem, causing severe damage to the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque. Sultan Abdulhamid II dispatched a team of Ottoman engineers and architects, overseen by the Swiss-born architect Pascal Coste, to assess and repair the Haram al-Sharif. The episode explores the political and religious stakes of the restoration, the architectural techniques used, and the broader context of Ottoman reform and international pressure in the late 19th century. It also touches on the controversy around changes to the structure and the symbolism of the Haram for Muslims, Christians, and Jews alike.
