Wow, huh! So it actually answers back, no?
This is an original Byzantine church. Oooh!
So it's kind of symbolic to bring a Roman siege weapon to a place that was seized by Romans and I don't know if we can see it shoot off. Okay, here goes nothing. Hahaha!
This is part of our Travel in Israel series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Israeli culture, Israeli arts, Israeli foods, Israeli cuisine, Jewish religion and Israeli people.

Masada, Ein Gedi and the Dead Sea - The ultimate guide to the Judaean Desert
A complete guide to visiting Masada, the Dead Sea, Ein Gedi and Qumran. This video will show
you all you need to know about the main sites in the Judaean Desert.
Here’s what this video is about:
Masada: How do you get there? A brief history of Masada and information about the best way to
see Masada – an unknown trail that surrounds Masada.
The Dead Sea is one of the wonders of the world. It is the lowest point on earth and you can
float on its dense salty waters! Where are the best beaches and what do you need to be aware
of?
Ein Gedi is a national park that is home to two spring-fed streams with drinkable water that flow
all year round - Nahal David and Nahal Arugot. A visit to Ein Gedi combines history – there is an
ancient, 6,000-year-old temple, and a beautiful synagogue with a mosaic floor – and wildlife –
there are plants that originally come from Africa, and you get to see animals including the ibex
and the rock hyrax. Ein Gedi is perfect for those who love hiking. Most visitors go for two to
three hours, but there are also longer full-day treks.
Qumran is a small archeological site. I describe it as the most important unimpressive site in the
world. The site is hardly spectacular in itself, but in order to understand it you need to look at the
cliffs all around and know the history of the place. The Dead Sea scrolls were found in the caves
set in the cliffs around Qumran. This is one of the most important archeological finds in Israel
and the world.

The History of Masada
Masada. The rocky mountain with a story of legend that has intrigued the world for thousands of years.
The word Masada means ‘fortification’, and that is exactly what it is.
Masada is an isolated, flat, rock mountain plateau, whose surface high above the Dead Sea houses ancient ruins of a once impenetrable stronghold of Jewish rebels. Today, it is a hot tourist spot, where thousands of people flock throughout the year to climb the Snake Trail, a windy path that takes you 300 meters up to the site of the ruins. For those less daring, there is a cable car service to take you to the top of Masada in just a few minutes.
The Siege of Masada in 72 CE, known as the Great Revolt, was the culmination of the first Jewish-Roman War in the Holy Land. Jewish rebels from Jerusalem fled to the isolated rock plateau to hide from the enemy. According to Josephus Flavius, as the Romans came closer and the rebels were clearly facing defeat, rather than surrender to the enemy, the rebels killed each other in turn, with the last remaining rebel committing suicide.
Surrounded by breathtaking views of the Dead Sea region, steeped in famous, fascinating history, Masada is a must-see destination on your Dead Sea itinerary. Only one question remains: Snake Trail or Cable Car?

Dead Sea , Sea of Salt, also called the Salt Sea, is a salt lake bordering Jordan to the east, and Israel and the West Bank to the west. Its surface and shores are 422 metres (1,385 ft) below sea level,[2] the lowest elevation on the Earth's surface on dry land. The Dead Sea is 378 m (1,240 ft) deep, the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. It is also one of the world's saltiest bodies of water, with 33.7% salinity. Only Lake Assal (Djibouti), Garabogazköl and some hypersaline lakes of the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica (such as Don Juan Pond) have a higher salinity. It is 8.6 times more salty than the ocean.[4] This salinity makes for a harsh environment where animals cannot flourish, hence its name. The Dead Sea is 67 kilometres (42 mi) long and 18 kilometres (11 mi) wide at its widest point. It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River.
The Dead Sea has attracted visitors from around the Mediterranean basin for thousands of years. Biblically, it was a place of refuge for King David. It was one of the world's first health resorts (for Herod the Great), and it has been the supplier of a wide variety of products, from balms for Egyptian mummification to potash for fertilizers. People also use the salt and the minerals from the Dead Sea to create cosmetics and herbal sachets. In 2009, 1.2 million foreign tourists visited on the Israeli side.
The sea has a density of 1.24kg/L, making swimming difficult.The Dead Sea is an endorheic lake located in the Jordan Rift Valley, a geographic feature formed by the Dead Sea Transform (DST). This left lateral-moving transform fault lies along the tectonic plate boundary between the African Plate and the Arabian Plate. It runs between the East Anatolian Fault zone in Turkey and the northern end of the Red Sea Rift offshore of the southern tip of Sinai.
The Jordan River is the only major water source flowing into the Dead Sea, although there are small perennial springs under and around the Dead Sea, creating pools and quicksand pits along the edges.[7] There are no outlet streams.
Rainfall is scarcely 100 mm (3.9 in) per year in the northern part of the Dead Sea and barely 50 mm (2.0 in) in the southern part. The Dead Sea zone's aridity is due to the rainshadow effect of the Judean Hills. The highlands east of the Dead Sea receive more rainfall than the Dead Sea itself.
To the west of the Dead Sea, the Judean Hills rise less steeply and are much lower than the mountains to the east. Along the southwestern side of the lake is a 210 m (690 ft) tall halite formation called Mount Sodom.There are two contending hypotheses about the origin of the low elevation of the Dead Sea. The older hypothesis is that it lies in a true rift zone, an extension of the Red Sea Rift, or even of the Great Rift Valley of eastern Africa. A more recent hypothesis is that the Dead Sea basin is a consequence of a step-over discontinuity along the Dead Sea Transform, creating extension of the crust with consequent subsidence.
Around three million years ago, what is now the valley of the Jordan River, Dead Sea, and Wadi Arabah was repeatedly inundated by waters from the Mediterranean Sea. The waters formed in a narrow, crooked bay which was connected to the sea through what is now the Jezreel Valley. The floods of the valley came and went depending on long scale climate change. The lake that occupied the Dead Sea Rift, named Lake Sodom, deposited beds of salt, eventually coming to be 3 km (1.9 mi) thick.
Approximately two million years ago, the land between the Rift Valley and the Mediterranean Sea rose to such an extent that the ocean could no longer flood the area. Thus, the long bay became a lake.Masada (Hebrew מצדה, pronounced Metzada (help•info), from מצודה, metzuda, fortress) is the name for a site of ancient palaces and fortifications in the South District of Israel on top of an isolated rock plateau, or horst, on the eastern edge of the Judean Desert overlooking the Dead Sea. After the First Jewish-Roman War a siege of the fortress by troops of the Roman Empire led to the mass suicide of the Sicarii rebels, who preferred death to surrender. It is located about 20 km east of Arad
Israel Museum Video - Israel Museum Must See
Watch in 360 Israel Museum Video - The Israel Museum (Hebrew: מוזיאון ישראל, Muze'on Yisrael) was founded in 1965 as Israel's national museum. It is situated on a hill in the Givat Ram neighborhood of Jerusalem, near the Bible Lands Museum, the Knesset, the Israeli Supreme Court, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Among the unique objects on display are the Venus of Berekhat Ram; the interior of a 1736 Zedek ve Shalom synagogue from Suriname; necklaces worn by Jewish brides in Yemen; a mosaic Islamic prayer niche from 17th-century Persia; and a nail attesting to the practice of crucifixion in Jesus’ time. An urn-shaped building on the grounds of the museum, the Shrine of the Book, houses the Dead Sea Scrolls and artifacts discovered at Masada. It is one of the largest museums in the region.

Masada, Israel, 2017
Masada is an ancient fortress in southern Israel’s Judean Desert. It's on a massive plateau overlooking the Dead Sea. A cable car and a long, winding path climb up to the fortifications, built around 30 B.C. Among the ruins are King Herod's Palace, which sprawls over 3 rock terraces, and a Roman-style bathhouse with mosaic floors. The Masada Museum has archaeological exhibits and recreations of historical scenes.

Entry from: Jerusalem, Israel
Entry Title: Qumran, Masada, Dead Sea, and Jericho
Entry:
Today was a full day of a guided tour via bus. We covered a lot of ground in a short time.
We started with a drive from Jerusalem to Qumran. The drive revealed the desert landscape south of Jerusalem, which we hit immediately upon getting outside of the city. A short break on our way south found the more daring members of the group on the back of a camel for a short walk and a photo opportunity.
Our next stop was Qumran National Park, where the first seven Dead Sea Scrolls were found by Bedouins shepherds in 1947. Additional archeological finds from 1951 through 1956 found additional scrolls and structures that had been undisturbed for thousands of years. The scrolls were left by the Essene sect of the Jews, who were ascetics that distanced themselves from everyone else physicall and spiritually, while focusing on ritual cleansing and studies. It is likely that the scrolls were stored in the jars within the caves by the Essenes when the Roman armies approached in 68 AD, intending to recollect them after successfully repelling the Romans (which would not happen). After leaving Qumran, the Essenes joined the rebels at Masada, where they would die in 73 AD (more on that later). The openings of two of the major caves are easily seen from the group. A large area of structures below the caves have been unearthed and are presented to visitors for viewing.
Next we drove south along the western edge of the Dead Sea down to Masada National Park, where King Herod had built a large fortress on top of a mountain plateau just west of where the northern basin and the southern basin of the Dead Sea meet. Masada is a natural mesa in the desert on the western shore of the Dead Sea. Masada is cloes to the Hebrew word metsuda, which means the stronghold. It is believed that Masada is what is referenced in I Samuel 22:3-5 and I Chronicles 12:1-16 when David and 400 men returned to Judah and camped at the stronghold. It is also suspected to be the location where David fled from Saul in En Gedi in I Samuel 24:22.
King Herod would later build a fortress here between 37 and 31 BC in the event he needed to escape rebellions in Jerusalem. It was also built as a winter home for him and his wives. It is the ruins of this fortress that are on the mesa today. The fortress was made famous as a result of the Jewish rebel stand there in 72 to 73 AD which ended in the death of more than 700 rebels. The rebels had taken refuge in the then-abandoned fortress in 66 AD during the Jewish uprising against Rome. In 72 AD, Rome sent a Roman legion to purge the rebels from the fortress and to send a message to all Roman rebels around the world, but the Jews were difficult to get to and had plenty of provisions to withstand a long siege. Using Jewish slaves, the Romans built an earthen, rock ramp from a hill across the valley to a gate at the fortress in the span of 2 or 3 months, then used modern Roman military technology to gain entry into the fortress where they found everyone dead except for two women and five children, who according to Josephus killed each other the night before in a form of suicide, knowing that they would fall the next day. This is the Israeli's equivalent of the Alamo. Today all Israeli army officers are commissioned in a ceremony at Masada where they commit to never let it fall into enemy hands again.
After driving north again along the Dead Sea (which is 422m below sea level) for a short ways, we stopped at Ein Gedi National Park. Ein Gedi is an oasis on the ...

사해 부근 절벽위에 이스라엘의 항전지 마사다가 있다. 로마에 대항해 싸우다 960명이 집단 자결한 곳이다. 유대광야가 끝나는 곳에 솟은 바위산의 높이 약 430여 미터. 마사다 요새는 뱀처럼 꼬불꼬불한 길로 걸어가면 1시간 30분이나 걸리지만 케이블카로는 3분이면 도착한다. 뱀의 길은 마사다로 들어가는 유일한 입구로 이어진다. 기원전 37년에 유대왕 헤롯이 이 절벽 위 요새에 궁전을 짓기도 했다. 그 후 서기 70년 예루살렘이 로마에 함락되자 쫓겨난 유대인이 이곳에 있던 유대 저항군에 합류했다. 사해가 내려 보이는 마사다는 천연요새였다. 충분한 곡식도 저장돼 있었다. 게다가 빗물을 받아 저장할 수 있게 곳곳에 배수로를 만들었다. 빗물은 바위 속에 만든 수 십 개나 되는 저수조에 고여 물 걱정도 필요 없었다. 이 건물은 로마식 목욕탕이다. 찬물과 따뜻한 물을 쓸 수 있고 사우나도 즐길 수 있는 시설이다. 또는 유대교에서 정결의식을 할 때 사용한 목욕탕이라는 고증도 있다. 마사다 북쪽에는 3단으로 만든 헤롯의 궁전이 있다. 이렇게 북쪽에 궁전을 만든 이유는 햇볕 드는 시간이 짧아 서늘하기 때문이다. 남향을 선호하는 우리와는 반대다. 마사다에는 왕궁은 물론 수영장까지 있었다. 이곳은 비둘기를 사육해 부족한 단백질을 보충 했던 곳이다. 서쪽 성벽으로 다가가 내려 보면 로마군이 쌓아 올린 경사로가 있다. 요새의 유대 저항군을 끌어 내릴 방법이 없자 이스라엘 포로를 동원해 길을 만들었다. 마사다로 올라올 수 있는 경사로를 완성하자 3년이나 저항하던 유대인들은 집단으로 자결을 했다. 노예가 되느니 죽어 자유인이 되고자 한 것이다. “오늘날에도 군인들의 임관식을 하러 와서 “다시는 맛사다와 같은 일이 벌어지지 않게 하겠다고” 하며 국가에 대한 충성을 맹세합니다. 이스라엘과 전 세계에 있는 유대인들에게 다시는 적들에 의해서 자신의 삶을 포기하여 스스로 죽는 일이 없기를 다짐하는 곳이기도 합니다” 마사다는 이스라엘 저항정신의 상징이 됐다.

On the cliff near the Dead Sea is the anti-cell Masada of Israel. It is a gathering of 960 people who fought against Rome. The height of the rocky mountains rising to the end of the Judean wilderness is about 430 meters. Masada fortress takes 1 hour and 30 minutes to walk like a snake, but arrives by cable car in 3 minutes. The path of the snake leads to the only entrance to Masada. In 37 BC, King Herod the Great built a palace on this cliff fortress. Then, in 70 AD, when Jerusalem fell to Rome, the Jews who were driven out joined the Jewish resistance here. The Masada, where the Dead Sea was seen, was a natural fortress. Sufficient grain was also stored. In addition, I made a drainage everywhere to store rainwater. The rainwater did not need to worry about the water in the dozens of reservoirs built in the rocks. This building is a Roman bath. It is a facility where you can use cold water and warm water and enjoy sauna. There is also a certainty that it is the bathroom used in the ceremony of cleansing in Judaism. To the north of Masada is Herod's palace, built in three tiers. The reason why the palace was built in the north is because the sunshine time is short and it is cool. We are against South Korea. Masada had the palace as well as the swimming pool. This is where the pigeon breeds and replenishes the deficient protein. As you approach the western wall, there is a ramp built by the Romans. There was no way to bring down the Jewish resistance of the fortress. After completing the ramp to Masada, the Jews who had resisted for three years became a group. I would like to be free and die when I become a slave. Even today, I come to the soldiers' ceremony and say, I will not let anything like Massada happen again and pledge allegiance to the nation. It is also a place for Jews in Israel and around the world to once again give up their lives by their enemies and not die of their own. Masada became a symbol of Israel's resistance.

Masada is the scene of the last show-down between Jewish rebels and the Roman empire in the year 73 C.E.
Massada National Park. 73 A.D A grand event as the Roman tenth legion surrounds the
mountain putting an end to the last pocket of the great revolt.
Masada National Park (מצדה) is an ancient fortress on the summit of a secluded cliff, on the eastern fringes of the Judean Desert, which rises 63 feet above sea level and about 450 feet above the Dead Sea at its foot.
The cliff was chosen by King Herod to serve as a refuge and royal fortress and on its flat top were built magnificent palaces, public buildings and delights. Fortifications surrounded the cliff and water collection and storage systems ensured regular supply throughout the year. The dramatic historical events that occurred in Masada during the Great Revolt are described in great detail in Joseph Ben Matityahu's book - The Jewish War. According to Yosef Ben Matityahu, even before the destruction of the Second Temple, Jewish rebels from the Sikh sect seized Masada and from there went robberies to settlements in the Dead Sea area. On its side, in eight siege camps, the Roman Tenth Legion rose and narrow, and after desperate battles on the fort's walls and rebelling against the hopes of the rebels removing the siege, they chose to commit suicide rather than end their lives as slaves.
After conquering Masada in 73, the mountain sank into oblivion until it was rediscovered by 19th-century scholars. Intense archaeological excavations were conducted on the Masada and to a lesser extent in the Roman siege system at its feet beginning in the 1960s, when the vast majority of the entire site was excavated and explored.
While the rabbinic tradition has almost completely obscured the story of mass suicide on Masada for centuries, the Zionist movement has adopted the story of Masada as a symbol and as a myth of aspiration and death to freedom, national renewal and sovereignty. In the 1930s Masada became a pilgrimage site for travelers and youth movements, and after the establishment of the State of Israel as the site of the IDF recruits various swords that would never again fall - a language coin derived from the Poema Masada. [1] The 20th century began to erode Masada's status as a Zionist myth and some were deterred by the message reflected by the extreme zeal of the Sikhs and their choice to commit suicide on the Masada summit. In the second decade of the 21st century, the tradition of travel for youth movements was renewed. [2]
In 1968, Masada was declared a national park on an area of 3,400 hectares, and in 2001, the UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site.
