Item Ships from Los Angeles, California All Reasonable Offers will be Considered ~ The excavation from 1963 to 1965 of the Jude-an desert rock-fortress of Masada has takenits place as one of the most exciting and sig-nificant archaeological events of recent times.What prompted thousands of volunteers fromso many different countries to endure thehardships and primitive conditions of theexpedition? This stronghold overlooking theDead Sea was the site on which Herod theGreat erected some of his most daring build-ings and also the scene of one of the most dra-matic episodes in human history, when ninehundred and sixty Zealot defenders preferredto kill themselves rather than surrender to theRomans three years after the destruction ofthe Temple of Jerusalem by Titus in 70 A.D.The only source of its history is the contem-porary account by Josephus, who was one ofthe commanders in that very great revoltagainst Rome. ~
