I never really thought about this question until our recent day of touring Masada National Park. The fortress is believed to have been built about 30 years BC. I'm thinking that most, if not all, of the archeological sites that we've previous visited were built in the years after the birth of Christ.
Even with its age, Masada is quite impressive. Lines painted on some walls within the fortress make it easy to see which areas were restored and which are original. In addition to the royal residence of King Herod, the complex had storerooms, a large bath house, watchtowers and so much more.
Have you explored any archaeological ruins that stood in the BC years?
