The First Photographs of The Holy Land (1867-1879) Jerusalem’s Monuments by Bonfils [Ancient Judea]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- Howdy ya’ll. Today we have the first photographs ever taken in The Holy Land. Images dated from circa 1867 through circa 1879. Decades before the establishment of Israel, we have photographer Felix Bonfils traveling through Jerusalem, taking the first photographs of numerous aspects of this magnificent and mysterious landscape.
An abundant and important collection of images, the detail here is outstanding, the architecture formidable and ancient, with many of the foundations in tact, yet seemingly everything here has been buried through centuries of weather events and rewriting of history.
It’s honestly dumbfounding to see Jerusalem before the development which occurred during the mid-20th century. In these first photographs we have ancient monuments abound, and for lack of a better term, they all appear original, not renovated or rebuilt, and the cornucopia of people, animals, running water, and other anomalous details for the age of the images only adds to our questioning of the narrative.
How did photographs this detailed exist back then? Why have they not been shared, dissected, and raised to the forefront by academia? What are these images hiding? I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments down below. Thank you for 95,000 subscribers. Enjoy!

“The current narrative” can’t be taken at face value since it’s always changing.
We need to delve deeper back into our written history since digital book burning has changed the narrative.
I agree. The Jerusalem we know no it’s just a counterfeit copycat place the true holy land is not where the narrative tells us it’s at they stole a lot of artifacts out of Africa and created the tourist attraction. We know today.
What went on here on earth before us is an enigma.
not really it’s pretty clear
Old bibles that grandparents have sometimes contain amazing photos of the holy land, too.
Wow, a bleak, arid place...a place of extreme deterioration, seems to me: and in most places not much people remaining either. These place names and stories are simply what we have been told...the REAL history is probably much different, IMHO. As one lady posits for a persistent reminder: "Always question the narrative" (as I'm sure you do Jarid). Great collection of photos. thank you Jarid.
Spectacular images, wow! This too looks like some kind of cataclyism occurred.
agreed it looks like an aftermath

3:38 weird there was already a tourist office
Well, many people had been traveling to Israel for all the centuries after Christianity really took hold around the world.
AMAZING - BEAUTIFUL OLD PHOTOS.
THANK YOU
Thank you labeling the Images 👍
I thought that Rome was in control of Israel for the last 300 years. Rome was also said to have built all over that nation. So...where are the buildings? No Roman temples, palaces, bath houses, etc, etc.
Rome Georgia US. Cherokee called themselves Roman
@@SkyeSage17 that's what we're told. Find me some Cherokee writing claiming to be Rome. We're told a lot of stuff simply to confuse us on history.
@@bretthenke9613
Not really. Check Jon Levi. See another view
@@SkyeSage17 For each person with "proof" there's another with the same amount of "proof" of something different. I don't think there's any way to know for sure anything historically. It's been changed by dozens of cultures throughout the years and most likely it's all BS.

Indeed. The search for truth and answers may all be in vain. That's what I perceive, regretfully always seeking ...❤️🔥
Nice conclusion to our conversation though 🖖
Build it and they will come.....age old tourist traps built around salvation seekers who don't realize heaven comes from within and they are trapped in a death cycle of revenge,like lost ants...-Geronimo
Look at the enormous doors and headspace inside these temples and cathedrals all over the world. It just gives me pause. "There were giants in the earth in those days...." 🤔
The music is transcending. Makes the visuals……….chefs kiss 💋
Its amazing to see the region so undeveloped compared to today. Thanks Jarid
David Ewing Jr.'s books and interviews are worth your time, especially the content regarding the so-called "holy land".
And yet when you look up his name there is a claim that he is a fake character and that the content was bot generated?
Keep on keeping on.
9:33 what was that building outside the city walls, closest to the camera, almost hidden by the tree just below in the left corner? Does it look like a building in Red Square in Russia?
The Russian Embassy?
yo I see that maybe a mini version
I think it looks very /*arab/*

Thank you, thank you, thank you..I can't stop looking at these amazing photos. I'm crying with the joy of Jerusalem. ❤❤❤
These are incredible pictures you are presenting. They are not only void of ppl in most cases, they seem void of ppl even living there. It's like they have been found and cleaned then photographed. There is no way the narrative says there aren't ppl in the holy lands mid mid 1800's...
I wondered if the camera shutter speed was so slow (minutes) that people weren't captured but then I did see a few people in some of the photos.
Yes, great points, the picture of Wailing Wall was full of people in contrast. Really that full of people typically, or even when fullest normally?
It depended how long people stayed almost still for long enough whether or not their image was captured.
@@angr3819 and the images that were not clear from movement during picture taken were removed to leave only clear images, or images wanted left in picture, by removing all other people?
Thank you. With gratitude...this whole journey wouldn't be possible without generosity of learning and teaching..,just getting back in now..I am hopeful and respectful.,These films and historical reconnecting our advance old world reconstructions.., principles embedded in Stone.,and marble..leaves us or many of us.,of quality of creative spiritually that transcends any borders.,what an age of enlightenment really means for people struggling hard and mislead.,so much..,people are true bricks and labor of love.., Jerusalem of many centers...art is spirit of beauty..it helps us build for today.,,peace be with you
Peace be with you as well, Brother.
Thankyou..pipe of peace and War..is sacred bond.of prayers..a place of instructions...learning life..****
Excellent thank you! for sharing an dedication no doubt theses pictures are priceless to people like me who Believes every word in the Bible. The Roman architecture can be seen in arch’s where the plaster has cracked and fallen off the walls
We have way more Roman buildings in Australia than this video. Arches, statues, massive stone pillars and buildings. Pretty strange given our country was founded less than 200 years ago. World history is a lie.
Thank you.
Jarid that music really enhances the photographs
Thank you for this clarity!!
Amazing video, never seen any of those before,so interesting and peaceful.
Wow Rachel's Tomb 10:40 Incredible ❤
I visited in 1979. Mount of olives, gesthemanie, church of the nativity, via de La Rosa. Dome of the rock, Capernaoum, amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Love seeing old architecture. Thank you.
Thank you I really injoyed this video❤😊
Odd, how there's little to no people in these pictures. I also find it peculiar that these holy sites are in such disrepair.
People are saying it had to do with the shutter speed of the cameras back then. People had to hold still long enough to show up since it took a long exposure to capture the scene.
I wanted to check the definition of awesome, or stunning…. and what did I find …. Jarid Booster…. 😊 thank you so very much for this, how old that part of the world is….❤
Your voice sounds fantastic! Whatever you've changed it's working great! Thank you for making these videos.
This is awesome, amazing, are there any things I can say that haven't already been expressed? You've gone above and beyond. Not just breathtaking photos but you put in *work* with the translations. It's heartbreaking that land is now soaked in blood...😢
At about 14:02, notice the angels...they are black. And in the belly of the Vatican there's tons of artwork that portray Jesus, Mary, and everyone else as black people. The lies we've been told are *monumental.*
How is the color of the skin contributing to the topic at hand?
@@elim7228 Because it's there. Because it's a part of the narrative that's been obscured, and I'm glad to see the truth, even when it trickles out in the form of cherubs. I'm in my 60s and in my experience, only racists take issue with race being noted...😒
I can't really see them, guess they're black
Oh, those angels are definitely Black. My family always told me that Jesus had to be Black because all the people in Israel were back in his day. 🤷♀
Thank you Jarid :) QC
Nice!
This a absolutely AMAZING!!
I find it rather curious that throughout all of these old world narratives and photography that this is the ONLY example of stables being represented that I have seen. I have asked many times about where all of the representation of stables, water troughs, horse stands, blacksmiths (horseshoes/shoe repair), hay storage (barns) and the infrastructure it would take to maintain all of the horses and buggies we see in all of these metropolitan centers.
Your work is very much worth any bit of time I can have to receive and embrace the content provided. "That said" I have enjoyed the channel for a long time and not commented enough (perhaps this comment is enough..). And then there is the song... This I have texted before and will, now , do , AGAIN. Almost sixty, owned a record store back in the day , love LOTS of music. Lots,.. the piano accompaniment to your vids is so therapeutically , beautiful. !!! Such an ingredient to your efforts and work. "Do I watch your channel for the music? ( All of the other music is just as much appreciated) or do I listen to the song to be able to watch your vids.?.. thank you again. I wish you well....!

Cooks tourist office [ 3:18 ] ?...The folks living there sure didnt build it...Thnks...
LOL, I saw that !!! Story spoiler, to say the least !!!
Amazing stuff.
Always love pictures of the biblical ares Great post!
A ruinous heap of a glorious past long ago destroyed. These desertic scapes left wondering what did the multitudes who built these colossal stone structures eat? Olives? Hum?!? The land does not seem to be all that auspicious .
You should check the megalithic foundation around the wailing Wall. That's clearly pre-diluvian.
According to the Bible, the land blossoms w the Jews/Hebrews, as it since has.
Sent shivers through me. Thanks for posting.
Wow - already a tourist office in the 1800 s ?
If you think about it people were making pilgrimages to Israel since Christianity became a dominant religion in the world.
Excellent photographs! So sharp! Thank you for No music (I find it distracting) beautiful thank you🥰 keep up the good work! Any old photos are Awesome because they’ve hidden our True past and covered it with Lies & deceit!🤨
So sharp they’re probably not real.
Great find
It would be interesting if someone would take pictures today of the exact same places from the same angles as these pictures were taken, to do a then amd now type of thing. Great video.
I like your suggestion. Sergio and Rhoda in Israel channel shows much of this, but of course it's not the side-by-side photo comparison. I saw the Golden Gate in one of their videos just last night. I think the Golden Gate in Jerusalem definitely inspired the Golden Gate Bridge to San Francisco. 🌉
@Jarid, You are right about he land becoming Israel. Because around 300 AD, Constantine the Great changed the location of the Holy Lands to the middle east. It is just not the true location of the land of Judea. But very good photos of the mideast.
Where was it before?? North America?
South America, that is why it is hard to find the history.@@DrewishBear
😂😂😂
@@schepdog3185 tfoh
Yeah it’s called PALESTINE 🇵🇸
These sure are some significant pieces of history that play a bigger part on our current narrative than the narrative clearly describes... What an amazing place. Great pics as always.
Oh how I long for a simpler time...
Excellent.
Totally awesome! Yes, OUR 😂TRUE Holy FATHER, ....Thank y❤❤❤ou Jesus ❤❤❤
I want to thank you for your Wonderful research!¡ 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you that was a very touching and emotional journey to the places nobody wants us to remember. Made me cry. ❤❤❤
Love it ! ❤
Noticed something big. The supposed star of David on the street to Herods Palace was sideways . I alway had this feeling that that the star looked better that way. Realize the conwuerors changed every symbol. Even the cross was really just once a plus sign. The black star of Accra is 5 points standing up. But the pentagram is flipped. Theve done rhe same w the crescent. Liok at the shriners has as an example.
I believe that the magen david was also used as a star on the side vs how its presented.
Why do you think some have to do everything the opposite.
I think it could be due to Satan worshipers who like to twist everything. They're great deceivers.
Scusate l'italiano,ma al minuto 9.21,sotto a sinistra,che templi o monumenti sono? Molto simili alla piazza rossa di mosca.forse mi sbaglio,cmq grazie dei tuoi video,bye
Qualcuno in alto ha detto che è una chiesa, forse della Santa Madre Maria, o qualcosa del genere.
Must of looked very similar to that when Jesus Christ God tabernacled with man on earth just as the Prophets of old foretold. Merry merry Christ mass too you!
I'm curious if these locations have changed much since these photos were taken.
Yes, small pieces were, and are, fenced off and the rest bulldozed to build over. Very modern large scale urbanization surrounds most of the preserved pieces.
Holy Sepulchre is same as shown, both outside and inside. Nothing else I saw with my own eyes, so I can't relate.
@@bookofrevelation4924nothing is bulldozed in old Jerusalem. Please don't mislead.
@@elim7228 you're correct, not inside the walls of the Old City, but right up against them.
The Old City is one of those fenced off and protected sites with a piece of a Roman Cordo excavated within it.
Merci , beautiful!
Solomon's Basin, does it have another name?
Solomon's pools is what they are called nowadays
But "the holy land" is not in the outside realm.
I like how the last one said Palestine. Nice subliminal

Thankyou for putting these up.....the photos are in great shape. However what stands out for me in all of these pictures are that even at the time the photos were taken - it's clear either the people are too impoverished or it's just that the cultures living there have very little regard for the ancient sites because clearly all the remaining structures are 'very neglected in appearance'...the walls outside and within including all ornaments, artefacts making up the interior are moldy, sooty and or grimy, dirty - so clearly the state or country itself doesn't value these ancient sites or lands around it "enough" to keep them looked after properly.....very sad....
my great grandfather lived in yaffa during this time it was called palestine.
No person in the photos was intrigued by the camera.
it is called Palestine . it has a name and people before the so called establishment or occupation .
Instead of saying 75yrs before the creation of Israel. Use the actual country these photos are from. PALESTINE🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
When was the camera invented….? And what were the earliest photos that you’ve posted ?? The pics you have found are much older than when they say the camera was invented correct…!?
I almost feel like these photos should not exist.
I have pictures of the Palestine and Jerusalem from 1943-1944. My grandfather was there
Even the old pictures show a poeolple living in ancient ruins ? No up keep. Strange
The Narrative
4,000- 5,000 Jews lived in Palestine in 1867. The rest came from Europe, let it sink in
no east Jerusalem to be seen, how strange, palis claim they have been living in east jerusalem from 7000 years...
lookin pretty unholy now and always..what does "holy land" mean? it's a pretty nonsensical label/description...
Calling it Israel doesn't make it Israel - stealing the land doesn't make it theirs.
It's beautiful! We all know this here in Arabia... This is Arab land, where Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived peacefully together for more than a thousand years under Islamic rule. I want to point out that all women wore the Hijab at that time, not only Muslim women! And all the men wore a kind of "Islamic" hat, which is more a cultural than a religious thing.
The Hijab is part of the religion of Christianity and Judaism, and was worn throughout history even in Christian Europe. I am sure you have seen photos of that. BRING BACK THE HIJAB! BRING BACK RESPECT AND MODESTY!
Respect and modesty don’t require covering a woman’s beautiful hair. Those who chose modesty show their character. If all covered themselves we could only guess at their true nature. Modesty isn’t even a concept in the Bible. Freedom is what allows women to show their true nature. Please consider about this.
LoL
@@DrewishBear Know thyself.
@@ThePiratemachine indeed..care to elaborate on the context? To give you some- I grew up in a Bible cult that strongly repressed sexuality and human beauty in the name of modesty. Very authoritarian and very anti-Christ. I’ve spent 15yrs in the real world now and, while I have my disgust with female solipsism and general self-worship, I know it is far better than the alternative.
I believe it’s possible to have a middle ground and healthy culture but I don’t know where I would find it in this time of mass manipulation and deception. The smartphone is literally the second-coming of the forbidden fruit. Offered to women to facilitate self-worship and men naturally follow right along.
@andrewhatfield2245 modesty and Reservations we don't need to be throwing ourselves around for vanity desire and attention.
yea people put alot of holes in that land thats for sure.....
2 Kings 19:31
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
It's amazing what a resentful peasant class is capable of appropriating...
the music adds nothing...mute
He❤❤avy going with the piano practice , Pounding , like my head , I turned it way down , sorry
No people
America is the real holy land
Except, the USAA is actully the middle-east, North is south, east is west!! yes they lied about that too!!! go look, mount arabia or whatevs it's called, in Georgia!?! MEMPHIS!!
These images are not genuine! Wake up people.
3 min in... what a DUMP!! WOW - nothing megalithic here at all... scabbed together architecture... which seems really ODD!
10:27 in - VERY KOSSAK looking people / hats etc... a LOT of this seems very "RUSS-looking" ... so what IS the REAL history of the place is my ?
11:21 - this looks MUCH like the older IRISH building and construction methods! Viking-ish...
12:03 - NOW we're getting something - VERY irregular block shapes - tightly fitted... very interesting! You can tell people KNEW that cleaning chandeliers is 100% pain in the neck!
12:52 - does ANYONE know what the name of painting in the MIDDLE of the picture is?! Also... SO MUCH COPTIC art... Black Messiah / Madonna paintings left and right of the BIG painting in middle, also did you see the (2) 2-headed Phoenix sculptures with CROWNS higher up?! THAT is "THE CROWN" symbolism!
15:33 - notice the "nobby" blocks on the outside of the walls bottom left of the pic... COOL!
15:53 - does ANYONE know why/what are the ROUND blocks in the wall???
Oh dear.......ha!
Russians and Vikings have long lived there after at least the Crusades, and Kingdom of Jerusalem founded in 1199 AD. There's always been international peoples there as an important location for leverage to shift trade routes between Europe and Southern/Eastern Asia.
sheesh... I better dig a bit more... THANKQ - I have a direction to go looking!

I found out Bossing stones is leaving the outside face uncut, it's helpful to protect walls from direct forces pushing on them by redistribution of the force being applied, as opposed to a relatively large direct perpendicular force applied to a relatively small area intended to breach the wall.
Perhaps the circular stones in Damascus Gate walls were to avoid direct hit straight on at that location in wall by a projectile?
Bossed stones are cut building stones which are left rough on the external side.
Historians used to debate why builders did this. One theory was that it saved money since there was less finishing for the stone mason. Another was that it gave an impression of strength.
Now we know. According to several texts on catapults, bossing was a means of strengthening a wall against heavy shot. The projection dispersed the energy of the stone shot and prevented a direct energy transfer to the wall. Its use pre-dates Rome.
After the development of firearms, builders switched to other materials, such as brick, which absorb even greater impacts.
The technique is similar to the modern use of spaced armour on tanks.
Pierre Loti mentions Cooks Travel with disdain for bringing in so
many annoying tourists throughout his travel books from the late 1800s.
He is a wonderful author who had been in the French Foreign Legion.
"Jersalem" and "Egypt" both feature Cooks Travel.
