I am going to be talking about what the Kingdom of Heaven did wrong in the movie. The movie was set during the second crusade which was in the 12th century. I will be going into detail about the longbow, the trebuchet, and the medical discussion they had about bone marrow in the blood. There are a lot more thing the movie got wrong but these are just a few things I have chosen to talk about.

According to britannica.com, Jerusalem has some fertile areas. In the movie it made Jerusalem look flat and open. In real life Jerusalem was more hilly than flat. In the movie jerusalem was a sandy desert. In Jerusalem it is more dry dirt with some sand on the outskirts.
The third thing in the movie is the conversation of bone marrow in blood. Bone marrow was found before the 12th century so they could have known about it during the crusades. According to “The origins of bone marrow as the seedbed of our blood bone marrow was not understood or looked into until the 19th century”. So they wouldn't have known the effects of bone marrow getting into blood. So the conversation would not have happen because they did not have the knowledge. Bone marrow can kill you if it gets into the blood system by getting into your heart.
The movie Kingdom of Heaven was a good movie but they did get a lot of things wrong. So don't believe everything you see in movies. They did get somethings right to so it evens it out. Kingdom of Heaven is not a historically accurate

When civilians look at the men and women in the military, they think of strength, courage, and freedom. When those same men and women get out, civilians should treat them with respect, honor, and dignity. In their own minds however, it may be a different story. A loss of strength, a lack of courage, and a never-ending battle within that keeps them all but free. In the music video “Wrong Side of Heaven”, FFDP successfully argues that homeless veterans and veterans with PTSD need assistance. Through the use of visual aspects, literary devices, and symbolism, FFDP shows that their music video holds a strong argument.
God’s Battalions: The Case for the Crusades by Rodney Stark, will cause readers to question much of what they know about the Crusades, the Crusaders themselves, and the formidable Muslim forces they encountered along the way in liberation of the Holy Land. Stark gives compelling reasons for the Crusades, and argues that readers should not be too quick in following the lead of historians who cast the Crusaders in less than positive light. Stark makes his case supported by evidence that vindicates the valiant struggles of the Crusaders who accomplished the task of keeping Christianity alive through troubled times.

After discussing this movie in class it all makes sense. All the details that I missed throughout the movie I saw when we started discussing it. I saw most of the religious themes, some like the pale horse evaded me. This was a great movie and one that I would recommend to anyone. The way that it is written and the way that is was played out is amazing. I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface with the meanings behind this movie.

Jerusalem is the beholder of a violent, yet religious, past. It is the holy center for three of the world’s major religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. It was the center for many battles and the motivation for the Crusades. The Crusades were the cause for much blood shed and marked the beginning of a long war between Islam and Christianity. However, most of the focus in history of this holy center begins with the Crusades and continues there after, so this is where the essay will be focused: the times and history of Jerusalem before the Crusades.
