Answer:

Canaan is also known as the promised land, so you could talk about why it is called that.

"In 1000 B.C., King David conquered Jerusalem and made it the capital of the Jewish kingdom. His son, Solomon, built the first Holy Temple about 40 years later."

You could talk about their religion, "Jerusalem is a city located in modern-day Israel and is considered by many to be one of the holiest places in the world. Jerusalem is a site of major significance for the three largest monotheistic religions: Judaism, Islam and Christianity, and both Israel and Palestine have claimed Jerusalem as a capital city." Mostly Christanity.

You could also include the past civilizations and what they did.

These are my ideas :D
