The image is a photograph of a plaque on a beige-colored wall. The plaque is rectangular in shape and has black text written in Arabic. The text reads "Masada has been inscribed upon the World Heritage List in accordance with the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, 1972. Inscription on this List confirms the exceptional universal value of Masada deserving protection for the benefit of all humanity. Masada is a rugged natural fortress, of majestic beauty, in the Judean Desert overlooking the Dead Sea. It is a symbol of the ancient kingdom of Israel, its violent destruction and the last stand of Jewish patriots in the face of the Roman army, in 73 CE. It was built as a palace complex in the classic style of the early Roman Empire, by Herod the Great, king of Judea. The camps, fortifications and ramp that encircle the monument constitute the most complete Roman siege works surviving to the present day."
