Masada


MASADA. Look how it stands out as a 'massive' in the distance. I wonder wnat thoughts went through the minds of the Roman legions as they marched up to finally put down and smash the Jewish rebellion round AD 70. And remember they didn't drive up!! Those helmets must have baked their brains!!


It gets even more awesome as you get closer.
I would advise you to take a few minutes and get 'on line,' or read up about what happened here in AD70. Its a sad historical event but one which had considerable implications for mankind YOu will also learn what happened if you took a shot at Rome and brother Vespasian, who was the mastermind behind taking this last stronghold of the jewish zealots.
I'll bet the Romans would have given a lot of slaves to have a 'cable car,' to get up there. But they did manage it after a couple of years and an incredible feat of engineering
