The ENTIRE History of Palestine | Documentary

For thousands of years, Palestine has stood at the heart of the ancient world — a land where empires collided, religions were born, and history was written in blood, faith, and resistance.

From the early Canaanite civilizations to Egyptian and Assyrian domination, from Babylonian conquest to Persian rule, this land has never known peace for long.

The arrival of Alexander the Great brought Hellenistic influence, followed by Roman control and the transformation of the region into one of the most contested territories in human history.

Here, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all took shape, leaving behind sacred cities, holy sites, and centuries of religious struggle.

As empires rose and fell — Byzantines, Arab Caliphates, Crusaders, Mamluks, and Ottomans — the people of Palestine endured foreign rule, cultural change, and repeated upheaval.

The modern era would prove even more devastating.

World War I dismantled the Ottoman Empire, placing Palestine under British control.
Colonial promises, mass migrations, and political tensions set the stage for one of the most complex and painful conflicts of the modern world.

From the 1948 war to occupation, uprisings, displacement, and ongoing violence, Palestine’s story is one of loss, survival, and unbroken identity.

This is not a simple story.
It is a story of land and memory, borders and bloodlines, hope and despair.

From ancient kingdoms to modern conflict — this is the complete history of Palestine.

To understand the present, we must first understand the past.
