The preservation and restoration of the archaeological site of Masada are primarily credited to the efforts of Israeli archaeologist Yigael Yadin. In the 1960s, Yadin led extensive excavations at Masada, uncovering numerous artifacts and structures that provided invaluable insights into the site’s history. Following the excavations, a comprehensive restoration project was initiated to preserve the ruins and make them accessible to visitors. The project involved reconstructing sections of the fortress, fortifications, and buildings, while also implementing measures to prevent further deterioration. Today, the preservation and restoration work allows visitors like you to witness the grandeur of Masada and gain a deeper understanding of its historical significance.
