At least I saw the mini series and have the soundtrack.

I would like to go there.

Masada needs to be on everyone’s bucket list.

I visited Masada. It is an awe-inspiring place. They found the 10 lots to be drawn by the last 10 men, after they killed their wives and children, then each other. King Herod had built an entire complex there, along with elaborate palaces, storerooms, a complex heating system for water, an ingenious huge cistern to hold water for 1,000 people for 2-3 years, and many buildings. It is so moving to see what the Jewish community there left behind. The unburied men left after their suicides were given burial by modern Israel. I highly recommend seeing Masada both to admire the ingenious technology of the buildings and to be awed by the bravery of the zealots, who died rather than become Roman slaves.
