∙ 11y agoActually, Jerusalem predates that the founding of the first temple significantly, and most secular sources claim the founding of the temple was at approximately 960 BCE. The first historical mention of Jerusalem is in a correspondence letter letter to pharaoh Amenhotep around 1330 BCE from his client king Abdi-Heba who was ruler of Jerusalem at the time. The ethnicity of Abdi-Heba is unknown though his name derives from Hurrian culture (though it is unlikely he was Hurrian) meaning that exactly who founded Jerusalem remains unknown. Though many Jewish traditions say the city was founded by Shem and Eber (descendants of Noah) and that the city of Salem mentioned in bible may be a present day Jerusalem however none of this has been given any historical credence.
