Masada
NPR reports attempts to remedy rain damage to the mountain fastness of Masada. They have done an excellent job conveying a sense of place through ambient sound but I am not sure why the site is described as "Jerusalem's Ancient Masada Fortress."
Archeologists in Israel warn that the ancient stone fortress of Masada is crumbling, the result of a heavy rainstorm last winter. Located high above the Dead Sea in Israel's Judean Mountains, Masada has attracted thousands of visitors since it was excavated in the 1960s. Jews have long regarded this archaeological wonder as a symbol of Jewish pride and courage.
