talks about
The excavation at Masada
Introduced by HUBERT HOSKINS
On a visit to Israel earlier this year Hubert Hoskins visited Professor Yigael Yadin at his home in Jerusalem. Yadin, who until about twelve years ago was supreme commander of the Israel Armed Forces, was recorded talking about the dig at Masada on the Dead Sea, which has not only shed light on the character of Herod the Great but has revealed concrete evidence of the dramatic final stand made by the Zealots in the first Jewish revolt against the Romans between A.D. 66 and 73.
