Title: Masada Author: Jodi Magness Narrator: Laurence Bouvard Format: mp3 Length: 9 hrs and 21 mins Release date: 05-14-19 Ratings: 4 out of 5 stars, 16 ratings Genres: Archaeology Publisher's Summary: Two thousand years ago, 967 Jewish men, women, and children reportedly took their own lives rather than surrender to the Roman army. This dramatic event, which took place on top of Masada, a barren and windswept mountain overlooking the Dead Sea, spawned a powerful story of Jewish resistance that came to symbolize the embattled modern State of Israel. Jodi Magness, an archaeologist who has excavated at Masada, explains what happened there, how we know it, and how recent developments might change understandings of the story.
