About The Book

This is the account of Yadin’s excavation of the hill fort of Masada. What he found there confirmed Josephus’ account of the siege. The spectacular discoveries included Herod’s 3-tiered palace, the earliest-known manuscript of Ecclesiasticus & potsherds that may have been suicide lots used in 73 C.E.
