Massada Fortress

Flying above Masada.
This Jewish iconic fortress rock, was the location of the siege of Masada which lasted about seven months in 72 A.D.
Here, about 900 Jewish warriors realizing that the Roman conquest of the fortress is eminent,
committed suicide rather being enslaved.
Notice the two Roman rectangular camps stone borders are still visible today.
