Nearly two thousand years ago, according to the historian Josephus, the last Jewish holdouts against the Roman army were on top of a cliff surrounded by enemies. The Romans used enslaved Jews to build a ramp to the top of the cliff to prevent Jews on top of the fortress Masada from throwing rocks down on them. In due course a siege engine broke a hole through the citadel’s walls and Romans poured in (only to find that the over nine hundred Jews inside had all committed suicide).
