"In the late morning hours
of December 29, 1924, a British pilot took off from Amman, Jordan. Turning the
nose of his Bristol fighter southwest toward the Dead Sea, he soon reached the
mountain-plateau site of Masada, where King Herod had built an elaborate
palace-fortress. At precisely 11:15 A.M., the pilot began conducting a series
of aerial photography sorties. Taken at the altitude of 4,500 feet, the images
were immortalized on glass negatives, which were deposited several years later
in the library of the Institute of Archaeology of University College London
(https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org)."
