Listen "The Last Stand at Masada"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode of Dave Does History, we journey to the windswept heights of Masada, where nearly two thousand years ago, Jewish rebels made their final, fateful stand against the Roman Empire. Was it mass suicide, martyrdom, or myth? Host Dave unpacks the powerful story passed down from Josephus, explores the archaeological evidence, and examines how Masada became a national symbol—and a cautionary tale. From flaming battlements to modern memory, this is not just a history lesson. It is a conversation about truth, identity, and the enduring human struggle between resistance and survival. Tune in for the real story.
