A study on the Siege of Masada, 73CE

[Pinball1970]

I have read about this siege via of Josephus documentation of events, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Masada

There are also a documentary, pretty incredible seeing the structure and the Romans had to scale.

However, this recent study casts doubt on the account claiming the siege was over in weeks not three years.

If we can't trust Josephus, who can we!

Well, if you put it that way...
