The Roman conquest in 63 BCE and the appointment of Herod as king of Judea mark the beginning of a new era. One of the most important building projects carried out by Herod, known as the greatest builder ever in the Land, was the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Only a few vestiges of this temple have survived, most of them on display here; a unique, stone inscription in Hebrew from the parapet at the southwestern corner of the Temple Mount indicates the place where the priest once stood to sound the trumpet announcing the beginning and end of the Sabbath. King Herod's death in 4 BCE put an end to a relatively peaceful, and prosperous era. Fragments from his impressive mausoleum at Herodium are displayed, alongside the king's coffin.

Religious turmoil, and social tension as the Second Temple period drew to a close, were the backdrop to the activity of Jesus of Nazareth, whose teachings created a new religion – Christianity. Jesus’ dramatic life story is reflected in two rare objects relating to his trial and crucifixion. A Latin dedicatory inscription from Caesarea, mentioning Pontius Pilate, the Roman procurator of Judea who sentenced Jesus to his crucifixion; and an ossuary (a box for the burial of bones). The ossuary contained, according to the name appearing twice on it the high priest Joseph son of Caiaphas, who was involved in Jesus’ arrest, according to the New Testament. An iron nail, embedded in a heel bone, displayed next to the ossuary in which it was found, is the only archaeological evidence of the Roman practice of execution by crucifixion to have survived in the world.

This turbulent period ended in the Great Revolt of the Jewish population against the Roman Empire (CE 66 - 70), which led to the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem. Masada became the last stronghold. There, as contemporary Jewish historian Flavius Josephus tells us, the last of the rebels barricaded themselves in, where they probably died in the year 73 CE. The personal belongings of a man, a woman and a child, and a woman’s braid, the only such remains to have been found in the archaeological excavations at Masada are a moving testimony to their last moments.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered licensed tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.

Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.

In order to fulfill this "calling" in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)

Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, "glide" over the land to the Sea of Galilee
