The Mezada

Israel might be a small country, but its far from being not interesting. It has beautiful sights, old historical sites and even new and modern cities. Israel has a little bit of everything, but one thing stands out the most.

Mezada, This place Includes a big historic event. It has magnificent architecture and a breath taking view. Lets begin with the history, Mezada was built by Antioch because he was certain that someone is(gr.) going to attack him. He built a fort on top of a mountain. Inside the fort there was a big palace. The architecture is(gr.) amazing, and Antioch overcomes(gr.) tough problems by amazing engineering.

However, the place has another story. When the Romans wanted to kill all Jews in Israel, a group of them gathered in Mezada, which was long ago abandoned. After the Romans found them there, they attacked the fort. The Jews did not want to give the romans the pleasure of killing them, so they just committed suicide.

Mezada is an architectural wonder and a place with a great tale of bravery. This is the perfect place to visit when you come to Israel.
This is great, but you were supposed to pick an opinion essay topic, not a description. However, you've done a great job, so I'll grade your essay anyway.
