Masada

MASADA


I was quiet interested what I've learnt just by reading a part of the novel Cross Bones.


Well, now I discovered what we call Masada, a peak that is located in Israel and where several human remains were found. People say that the Jewish zealots (those who lived in this huge cave) had killed themselves before the romans' troop arrived in their land for destroying the community. At that time romans said that the Jewish zealots committed a mutual suicide just because they refused to be their slaves (a question of honor, of dignity) but some say that they decided to disappear for an other reason...
Spooky isn't it !

It is amazing how Kathy Reich makes it more or less interesting :-)
