Israel’s Most Impressive Roman Ruin

Caesarea is the largest Roman ruin in Israel today. It has many impressive monuments, but the most fascinating one is an artificial harbor that’s submerged underwater today. This harbor and city were built by Herod The Great, an ambitious puppet of the Romans, who was appointed as king of Judea by Rome. in order to create for himself an international city with direct links to Rome, he built this city and the harbor from scratch, using engineering techniques which I explain in the video. Herod also built other impressive monuments in Judea, including Masada, The Cave Of The Patriarchs, and he upgraded The Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. This virtual tour and documentary explores the ancient history and archaeology of this fascinating place, from its founding by Herod, its use as a Roman provincial capital, the harbor’s role in the war between the Romans and the Jews, the spread of Christianity out of this port, and the harbor’s demise by a natural disaster that happened hundreds of kilometers away.
