Fall of Jerusalem Part 3 - One Minute History

00:00:59

The ancient city of Jerusalem is protected by three defensive walls. A few days before Passover, Titus begins his assault on the Third Wall. The Romans breach it within two weeks, and the Second Wall falls one week later. Titus orders every tree in a 10 mile radius to be cut down to aid in the siege of the massive inner wall protecting the Temple and the upper and lower city. The Romans take the Antonia Fortress and build fortifications around the city, in an effort to starve the rebels into submission. More jews die from starvation than combat. Those who try to escape are crucified. The Jews build tunnels under their own wall to attack the siege towers, but when one of the tunnels collapses, it creates a hole in the wall that the Romans exploit. Jerusalem is put to the torch, thousands are killed and the survivors are sold into slavery. The stones that were thrown from the Temple mountain wall that day lay where they fell… almost 2,000 years later.
