FTA: "Our conclusion, however, detracts nothing from the importance of this historical event, and many baffling questions remain to be investigated. For example, why did the Romans put so much effort into seizing this remote and seemingly unimportant fortress?" How about because the Romans wanted to be rid of them once and for all?
There's some strange synchronicity going on. Yesterday Facebook showed me the scene from Sopranos where they've got an orthodox kike tied up and the jew talks about the siege. Then I come across this article.

While [it took several weeks to build that big beautiful ramp,](https://www.almendron.com/blog/wp-content/images/2022/10/masada-8.webp) while under fire, it was the first Jewish-Roman war that nearly lasted a decade.
Next you'll be telling me that it was the Romans who put the temple on the mount to the torch, when it was the zealots who did it to cover up that they'd massacred the priests in Jerusalem when they found out what they were trying to accomplish.

A Big mystery....
How the fook did they get that siege engine up that ramp?
Go look at the angles.
Go look at the top transfer point from the ramp to the wall.
Go look at how big the siege engine was.
The physics mathz, don't exactly line up with the official explanation...
