'''Masada''' refers to a fortress on a rock plateau in [[Israel]] built by [[Herod]]. Jewish [[Zealots]] took it, and held it for 2+ years. Once Romans captured it, the Zealots killed themselves rather than be prisoners. | '''Masada''' refers to a fortress on a rock plateau in [[Israel]] built by [[Herod]].
