After stealing millennia-old artifacts from the Gamla archaeological site in northern Israel, the thief returned them with a note: “They brought me nothing but trouble. Don’t steal antiquities.”

Less known than Masada but with a similar story, the ancient Jewish city of Gamla, located in the Golan, was one of the first communities to fall to the Romans.

This ancient city is known as 'the Masada of the North' and is remembered for the catastrophic defeat suffered by Jewish rebels against the Romans.
