Having personally walked up the ramp the Romans built, I can say it was quite the odd experience. And to walk the grounds and ruins of Masada, still standing, was very humbling. To think that 2000 years earlier, it was the site of such an event, was very hard to fathom while there.

@conacal rubdur I'm guessing English isn't your first language. I'll explain. This comparison is called an analogy. The technologies are analogous vis-a-vis the contemporaneous military capabilities they grant, and one could also imagine the prohibitive costs. Roman siege doctrine is in no way similar to the nuclear triad. Agreed. There is no direct comparison.

@conacal rubdur I'm sure you have a million reasons why I'm wrong to mention these two in the same breath, truly. It's a KZread comment section, though. You're looking at this through an electron microscope (though you don't support your argument whatsoever). Explain why it's vague and pointless. When you argue something, support it. I'll explain what others gleaned: From a broad perspective, Roman siege engineering was ahead of the rest, very far ahead. It's important to understand that sieges in the ancient world often determined the success or failure of an entire war. So when you consider that other civilizations didn't have the ability to design and build anything like what the Romans did, it makes sense that it can be thought of as cutting edge. They were the regional military superpower in the 1st century AD. What country designs and builds 5th generation military jets? Oh, a military superpower who has the technology granting them the ability to conduct air operations that others can't match? Did these cost their respective users a lot to design and utilize? Did technological advancement scale the same way it did 2000 years ago? (No, lol) Obviously other people understand that it's a rough comparison of contemporaries. You're reminding me of a galaxy brain freshman (who was constantly praised by high school teachers) who interjects in large undergrad lectures: "Technically, Professor, wouldn't this not be true because in my opinion it's ackshyually this way?" I TA'd a course with a well-meaning but insufferable student who had Aspergers. Sometimes it's necessary to be the ackshyually guy, but on KZread, like in undergraduate courses, it's pedantic. Have a good day, genuinely. I'm sure you have a million reasons why I'm wrong to even mention stealth jets and ancient siege engineering in the same breath.

American loves wahhabi bed Josephus was not a liar and most of his works are considered legitimate by many historians, some later Christian writes did interpolate his works though so you should blame them instead, Josephus is not a traitor per se but a person who accepted Rome’s supremacy after his people’s revolt was brutally suppressed, in this he parallels Polybius( after Rome conquered Greece) and can’t really blame him. Masada was not made up it is considered a real historical event that Is even corroborated in Roman sources and for which there are evidenced and is accepted by vast majority of scholars, it was the last stand of the Jewish revolt and subsequent mass suicide. I have no idea why you seek to deny this tbh, it confuses the rational mind.

He had collected this water in cisterns at the base of Masada, but no one knows how he actually got all this water to the cisterns at the top of Masada.

Buckle up ladies and gentlemen the history battles are back! This episode covers the Siege of Masada which is arguably one of the most impressive feats of Roman siegework ever! This video is particularly special since I was able to partner up with JPWorthington Media to show incredible HD shots of the site today. Despite the remote location of the battlefield, we are able to fully appreciate the archaeological site and step into history. Please be sure to check out more HD footage here: www.pond5.com/artist/jpworthingtonmedia As with every documentary video, I'd also like to thank everyone for their support. A TON of resources and effort went into this documentary and I hope you enjoy. Next, I think I have my eyes on the Siege of Jerusalem which is a siege carried out on an even more epic scale. In the near future I will continue to cover various battles of classical antiquity but have super secret plans about expanding this scope. Stay tuned for that... trust me it will be epic : )

What about all the engineering works like aqueducts and the building of roads, surely far more useful to more people and just as labour intensive compared to a huge stone pyramid honouring one man's life? The impressive thing about Rome for me is not that they conquered more of the planet than anyone before them but that they held it together for hundreds of years. The Mongol Empire, the British Empire, Even Alexander the Great's Macedonian Empire couldn't hold their conquests together for centuries like the Romans did. Ultimately you are right though the Romans didn't know when to stop conquering and they were a deadly enemy to have. It's because of the Romans however that Europe is predominately Christian and that we speak Latin based languages like Spanish, French and even English that are now spoken globally by billions. I don't see ancient Egyptian or Phoenician being spoken nowadays.

Catherine H. Einstein had ZERO to do with the Atomic bomb. It's a public belief which is plain wrong. Also, without anti-semitism you wouldn't even have the nazis OR their rise to power. Hating Jews was one of their core beliefs and what made them a lot of sympathizers ALL over the world - not just Nazi Germany. Henry Ford was one of Hitler's most vocal supporters and he also supported Nazi Germany with Ford trucks. Btw, the eugenics (race biology) the nazis implemented actually were *American* ideas - look up Harry H. Laughlin. The nazis used *his* ideas about compulsory sterilization. Btw, in the USA they still had Jim Crow laws so racist laws already existed there. Check up the Immigration act of 1924 too which specifically set out to prevent "non-white races" or "people of lesser stock" to enter the US. Bear in mind both Great Britain and France had global empires around this time and let's just say that the locals under their imperial rule were treated harshly indeed. Hitler admired the British for their empire and believed he could make his own with them as a template. Anti-semitism was popular in most European nations and many occupied countries actually HELPED the nazis round up their jews. Vichy France, Hungary under Horthy, fascist Croatia, Romania under the fascist Iron Guard to name but a few. Even Poland - which had the largest Jewish population in Europe (hence why all the extermination camps were built there) - had begun implementing anti-semitic laws BEFORE the nazi invasion. The Poles were looking into adapting their own "Nuremberg laws" much like the ones in Germany before the war started. Roosevelt was sometimes referred to as a "jew-lover" by Americans wanting to stay out of the war whenever he spoke to support the British or others. Anti-semitism was definitely condoned prior to WW2 and hatred of Jews (check up Henry Ford's "The International Jew" which he financed both the printing and distribution of in 1921, several years before Hitler came to power in Germany) was heard in academic circles as well as many in the Middle Class. During the Great Depression many blamed "greedy Jewish bankers and their cronies" too. With that in mind this "exception in racist Anti-Semitic" belief is anachronistic at best and plain ignorant at worst. The whole *nationalism* and its adherents in many countries had this as one of their core tenets. People were still calling Italians wops and guidos in the US during this time, any oriental person was "Chinese" and good for toiling only. Blacks were lower than dirt. Fact is Jesse Owens found it surprising people in Nazi Germany came up to him to congratulate him whereas he was just another n*gger back home. Read his biography. So you're making up mindless speculation. No anti-semitism, no nazis. Btw, no Great Depression and Germany being particularly hard struck by that and you'd see no nazis in power either. Compare the votes the Nazi Party got in 1928 German election compared to the 1933. They knew who to blame and who they believed were behind this Great Depression... And like FREEDOMINATOR1776 says, Germany lacked both the economy (the Manhattan Project was a monstrous economic undertaking) , natural resources and government support ever to get close to an atomic bomb. Mind you some people doubted the Manhattan Project would ever produce anything and some "weapon experts" in the US Government claimed the "A-bomb will never work".

The Goths rightly sacked Rome in AD410, especially after finding out that the word of a Roman meant nothing. Rome nearly folded in the 2nd century under increasing pressure from ever stronger enemies but were given a new lease of life thanks to Diocletian. There was never any doubt Rome's pyramid economy could never sustain itself forever. *Roads* is how Rome built an empire. *Bread & Games* kept both the Roman plebs and occupied people pacified. For a while. They also understood how to divide and conquer nations, thereby making them easier to defeat. Worked well in Gaul. The tribes were too busy fighting within themselves to unite against the foreign invader and by the time they did it was too little, too late. Local kings and rulers could be bribed to become Roman vassals. For an opulent lifestyle and a few trips to Rome local rules complied. Well, until the locals great tired of them. Like Herod for instance. Roads = communication Bread & Games = pacified population Bribed vassals = complacent "allies". As for the Third Reich. Its economy or natural resources would *never* win a long war of attrition. Even Hitler knew that. Pillaging is how they tried to survive. They had no other option since Germany had no empire. Unfortunately this also made them hated by every nation they conquered. When you make enemies wherever you go... It should be clear the poster meant Nazi Germany "out-atrocity" their enemies. Forget about the rest. Nazi Germany lacked the natural resources so it couldn't bl*ody well produce tanks and planes from material they didn't have. The allies had five times more aluminium. Without the Romanian oil wells Germany could never even had started Operation Barbarossa in 1941. Lucky for them Stalin didn't just invade the rest of Romania in 1940 (he just took Bessarabia) while the nazis were busy in France. The war would have been over for Nazi Germany in 1940 already. You can't run your tanks, trucks and motor vehicles on happy thoughts now can you. When the nazis failed to seize the oil wells in Caucasus in 1942 their timer was ticking... Anyways. Brutal empires can only exist so long. Odds are against them when they anger too many people. Some present day "empires" could perhaps learn from that.

Nuclear fission was discovered in the 3rd Reich and would have undoubtedly been expanded upon if were not for the war, the French fielded the first semi auto rifles in the First World War more than 10 years before the U.S adopted their semi autos, and by 1944 the Germans adopted the first assault rifle the StG44 that made U.S rifles obsolete for the next 15 years until the adoption of the AR10/15/M16. Germans had rockets, jet engines, infrared, etc. The only real point you have is about the bombers, US did have the best bombers. The best pilots were all German. Richard Bong ,the top ace in US had 40 kills while Erich Hartman the top German ace had 352 kills. Look up the list of the top aces of WW2 and you will see that the US wasn’t even close to the best, there were Romanians, Japanese, Russians and Finnish that all had higher scoring aces

Whats really incredible is whats left the cascade style palace build by Herod the Great on the top cascading down the side of Masada. The natural cistern.

the tenacity of the Romans is very admirable, from the battle of alesha to the siege of Jerusalem and masada the siege works and encampment projects are the most impressive
