and this was considered a Simmon on a
the person had his name on a so
sometimes the garu will discuss and talk
about if there's a
Simon then it then you have to be M if
it's no Simon sometimes they would make
a mark and sometimes they would actually
put their name on a specific
C another very very interesting thing
that we also have is just like I showed
you an oil lamp that have a picture of
the k for wine that matches the coin
that shim minted that shows a k of wine
we also there is another coin that was
Meed by shim bar that has a picture on
one side of the front of the Bas of
mnes and on the other side has a Lula
and a estri
and it says in the old Hebrew
script this is one of the best ones in
the
world showing the coin on both
sides now what's very fascinating if you
look closely at the K on this lul you're
going to see that there's an
esri there's a
lulav two aravis
and a lot of
Hadas and you can see the details of the
the tremendous amount of
[Applause]
hadasim it shows us how they were making
their kle on their Lulu
and it also shows us something else
that's
important uses 53
had because in the Z it says G and the
tick
of is the in of G of the of 53
had there's a if
theas was an estri or an
Apple so one of the Tik Des writes is to
use minum is a tick on
the so here you see that this Min of
taking 53 hadasim or a lot of hadasim
can even be seen on the coin of
shim furthermore the other side that has
a picture of the front of the Bas MDES
which we previously discussed we also
have an oil lamp
it has a picture of the columns the
front of the Bas of mish which matches
the coin of shim
bar and this is a very very rare Jewish
oil
lamp that has the same image of the
front of the B MDES that can be seen
with the columns here as
well and this black is from being lit
2,000 years ago you can see 1 2 3 4 five
nozzle oil lamp you could put five pilos
in the same oil lamp just like it
says this was an oil lamp you could put
five five edges in the same oil lamp it
has a ring so that you can hold it or if
you were walking like you have a flashl
this was how people would walk and carry
their oil lamps and what's unique is
that it still has its original handle
intact oil lamps were interesting
because every Mel every Kingdom made its
own style oil lamp and in fact y
Josephus writes about this the the Maes
had a very unique style oil lamp they
made a h type of oil lamp their oil lamp
look like a hitash that's what y writes
and right here is a 2,000-year-old
Maan oil lamp and even scientists today
still refer to this style oil lamp as
the ma the Kash oil lamp the oil would
go here the Pila the wick would go here
and this is called a maban style oil
lamp hardus King Herod the Great made
his own style o oil lamp and this is
called a herodian oil lamp a oil lamb
from the style of hardus and every King
wanted to make a certain style so that
even years later they would be
remembered for their Style just like
today we have Italian style furniture
colonial American style each one has its
own style these kingdoms would make
their own style as well and going back
to that the yanim the Greeks made also a
certain painted style and this was
considered a footed bowl like a little
serving
plate with a beautiful Greek design
painted and these circular type of
things was made by thean the Greeks now
the mishna discusses this kind of K this
K has a
stand what happens if you turn it
over you can put something in here as
well is it considered a base kibble on
the bottom piece also and sometimes you
have the to of the C
the of the K all the different that I
discussed in the mishna you can see it
here as well what the Mion is talking
about so these items represent very
specific
styles styles common in the time of end
of bayen and the mishna and the gar
mentions many of these things that you
can see here in our
Museum one of the things that kazal
mentioned
was called a
glusa what was a
glusa so the gar says that a merchant a
would just like you have a trunk
today would take his GL glusa from town
to town and he would fill it up if it
was a m of spices he would fill up his
spices he would come to the middle of
the marketplace he would open up his
glusa and he would sell
his
merchandise these were called
glise there were two types of glise one
was a glusa that was for burial purposes
that they used to bury people this is
not that kind of glusa those were very
small and they would make them the size
of the bone of the largest bone of the
person's body and they were made very
very small then there were the GL that
the refers to that were made for s for a
person who was selling and these were
these very large like you have a trunk
today this was your box this particular
one is fascinating beautifully carved
and right over here at the top corner it
says in Greek letters in Yan we were
just talking about Greek it
says y
Josephus Merchant of
spices of spices this this is not y who
wrote the history of the Iden this is a
person who wrote and made a cimon on his
K Merchant of
spices so exactly what kazal tell us
that the people used to go from one
Marketplace to the other Marketplace and
sell their merchandise and open up their
glusa and sell directly out of it and
they could this is exactly this is a
2,100 year old glusa with the Greek
inscription and this is a fascinating
thing cuz you see the detail of the
designs that were carved in here how it
was beautifully done and with the name
of the person on this particular
Glo this right here is another Greek
Kaye painted beautifully
with some of the original design that
still could be seen here and this again
was a style that the yonim the Greeks
would use and that was a very specific
style known and used by theim the Greeks
at that specific
time one of the things we learn about
in basid and you're going to put
plaster and plaster just as we plaster
walls today were very commonly done in
the ancient world this was found in
Mada it's a piece of wool piece of
plaster the paint and the design is
already gone but this is a 2,000-year
old piece of Sid of plaster and this is
from one of the walls of the Palace of
msada another very very important thing
is the Yar always talks about a am a
bath house now just like the bathrooms
in your house have
tiles tiles in bathtubs and base meres
in bath houses became very very
common here is a piece of an actual bath
house with the rows of
tiles and this is very very important
this was coming from Mada as
well we also have from the city of
casaria the city where rabaka was killed
these are actual tiles from a bath house
that was found in casaria a person by
the name of David H who's a biva today
in the 1970s was in
casaria and he found these bath bath
tiles from a bath house and he donated
here from he's from Los Angeles
California he donated to the
museum and we also have a few loose
tiles of different colors and there are
also bath tiles so the same concept of
you have a bathtub with tiles in your
bathroom
ankle they had tiles and they had bath
houses they had plaster the same things
they had in the ancient world as well
just as you have today big columns
and beautiful capitals this is carved
out of stone and right here is an actual
beautiful piece of
stone this right here is a beautiful
piece of colum and the top of the column
was the capital and you could see the
beautiful designs that are carved out of
a single piece of limestone a single
piece
of limestone s this whole beautiful
design and it weighs quite a bit this is
a small
column one of the most amazing things
you will see here in the museum is
something that's very very
touching when Titus came to destroy the
second base
hnes yifa tells us that he came with the
10th Legion of the Roman army that sent
a leion from
the in America when we talk about the
American Army we talk about the American
Legions in fact I have a branch of our
Museum in the Catal in fosburg New York
and the building which we bought for the
museum used to be called the American
Legion building in kazal they're called
leion on Tish in we talk about the liion
the Roman soldiers the Roman
legiance and Yan tells us that which
group of soldiers came to destroy the
bdes that sent to Leon the 10th Legion
of the Roman
army 9 years
ago they were building a parking lot in
yain and they found the military
headquarters of
Titus and one of the things they found
are
1,200 of the these
bricks that on every single
brick there is an
inscription it says on it l e
g
lion x 10 F fris Roma from the Roman
army like you would write today property
of the United States Army 102nd ER born
division this says L EEG liion
X1 Fran Rob you're looking at a piece of
brick that was once part of the military
headquarters of
Titus exactly as it's described in
Yun that they were the group of soldiers
that destroyed the second
mimage not only do we have that but the
Most Fascinating item that you will see
in this particular tape today in this
particular Shear has to do with the
bdes we know that everything of the
bdash was considered
KES but one of the things we also know
as
the tells us that when the went to
destroy thees he was M the Kad away from
thees
and just as we know that a is allowed to
take money the has a question a lot of
gold and silver of the B MDES was taken
away by the
[Music]
Romans and Not only was it taken away
we're not talking about Caleb we're
talking about money from theka the says
so the gar says that hadriana and Trana
Mala Hadrian and Tran melted down money
silver of the B and they made coins out
of it and in a special tape which we
about to make on the ancient currency
and coins of the ancient world you will
see some of these coins that were minted
down from the silver and gold of the
bis and there's
no so the says
Omar says
they
wanted they wanted to put away all the
gold and silver of the
world until they found
the that the
was and then the came so therefore even
for a says you're allowed to use gold
and silver coins that Hadis
maled because there's
no and even in that time for you were
allowed to use it and there's no is of
gold and silver the
concludes that something that was broken
from
has because the K was
noic we're not talking about a whole Kay
we're talking about a broken piece of
something now if you go to the k today
you will see that the stones all have a
border around it there's the middle of
the stone and then there's like a design
all around the stone that hardest can
herit the great build and the gar tells
us why hardest originally wanted to put
gold all around the center should be
Rock and the sides he should be all with
gold he never completed
that so
therefore a broken pece doesn't have
aadish and this is what all the r who
are involved with our Museum Pas and
that's all have gone through this
specific
inion what I'm about to show you is just
like you have the the is not the wall of
the they make a mistake they think it's
the wall the B it was the wall around
harab
and each Stone had this design that
hardness made on the border around the
stone this comes and was found in it's a
broken
piece not of the Western Wall but of the
Southern wall and you can see the same
style stone and you could see the design
the piece of where this border would
come from and this is the piece that the
gar says they wanted to put gold all
around and you can see the Border what's
very interesting about limestone is the
bdes was made out of these a and these
what was a limestone it was a very
beautiful stone and it was easy to carve
and also Limestone was a very combustion
Stone it would it would burn very
easily yant tell tell us that when tius
came to destroy thees he
took torches of fire and they stuck the
fire between the stones the stones got
very hot and they were literally
exploding jumping off the walls because
limestone is a combustion
Stone what's very unique about this
stone is I'm going to show you the back
of the
stone you can see the burn marks in the
Stone
and the bubbling that happens when
something starts burning and bubbling it
gets burn marks and it Bubbles from the
Heat and all along here you can see the
bubbling and the burn marks in the stone
and you're looking at a stone that burnt
on Tish above in
your all along here you can see the
actual burn marks in the stone so you're
looking at a stone that burnt on
TI in
y and this is one of the most emotional
pieces that we have here in the museum
and there's no kadha for it and it is
amazing to see an actual stone that's
not from the itself it's the wall around
the southern wall and there's
not clearly
explains when
to power in
Iran three yid were ready to die on
Mish to save this
B what is this bow and what is so
important about it 200 years ago Aid a
silver smith living in Iran went by and
saw the ancient Palace of Kish the
ancient Palace of Cyrus the Great and he
saw a wall that shows how the Y come to
Kish the Yen come to Cyrus and ask
permission to build
bayen and not only does Kish give them
permission he gives them mlin he gives
them
supplies to which to go and build by his
sh being a silver smith this Y in Iran
spent six
months making the silver ball and
carving a copy on this silver ball of
the entire wall of the Palace of Kish
show showing the yiden coming to
Kish for asking permission to build
bayen and not only does Kish give them
permission Kish gives them supplies to
go build by aain the story ends at the
base with the soldiers of
Kish marching with supplies to go and
build by a
Shen I'm going to show you a few details
of all these panels and there are many
many panels on this silver ball
