Więcej o książce

The narrative surrounding the mass suicide of 960 Jewish rebels at Masada in 73 C.E. is a cornerstone of Israeli national identity, shaped significantly by the 1963-1965 archaeological dig led by Prof. Yigael Yadin. Sociologist Nachman Ben-Yehuda examines how cultural agendas can distort the pursuit of historical truth, questioning the accuracy of this legendary account. The book delves into the intersection of archaeology, patriotism, and the complexities of interpreting historical events, offering a critical perspective on the enduring myth of Masada.
