The Canaanites are believed to have founded Jerusalem around 3000 BCE. Archaeological evidence suggests that the city was established as a small settlement during the Bronze Age. Over time, it grew in significance and became an important urban center in the region. The Canaanites referred to the city as "Jebus," which later became known as Jerusalem.
