Have you heard about their temples been razed to the ground ? twice ?
Thanks for the compliment 
But I don't appreciate you and other religious amounts all their achievement to some book
Appreciation is a good human factor where no one can teach. Human appreciation is worthless but only God's are worth. Don't be angry with me dude !!
The temple was distroyed by Babyloniane once and then by Romans. Temple by build by King Soloman to worship God and to place the '10 commandments' which was given to Israaelists by God.
Romance captured the most parts of this world and controlled for 1000 years including Israael. They distroyed the temple once. The greatest Roman empire was collesped. One by one roman, understood the truth and believed and transformed into Christianity and believed in Jesus. That is why the christian head quarteres are in Italiy, rome today.
Simply Romans who distroyed God's temple, now worshiping God. That is the God's endless love for humans. History and religion is linked with each other. ( like Sri lanka history and buddhism are linked with each other)
These are proven world and Israael history!!!
