Herodium
Herodium or Herodion (from ; (ヘブライ語:הרודיון), (アラビア語:هيروديون), ''Jabal al-Fraidees'') is a truncated cone-shaped hill, located south of Jerusalem and southeast of Bethlehem, in the Judaean Desert, West Bank. Herod the Great built a fortress, a palace, and a small town in Herodium, between 23 and 15 BCE, and is believed to have been buried there. Herodium is 758 meters (2,487 ft) above sea level, the highest peak in the Judaean Desert.〔( Herodion National Park )〕 Today, the site is managed by the Israel National Parks Authority.
==Etymology==
Herodion is the only site that is named after King Herod the Great. It was known by the Crusaders as the "Mountain of Franks". Arab locals call it ''Jabal al-Fourdis'' ("Mountain of Paradise"). The Modern Hebrew name, ''Herodion'' (), is actually a transliteration of the Greek spelling. However, modern Israeli archaeologists have confirmed that the site’s original Hebrew name was ''Herodis'' (), just as this name is inscribed in one of the Bar Kokhba letters recovered from the ''Muraba’at Caves'' in the Judaean desert.〔Roland de-Vaux, ''Discoveries in the Judean Desert'', vol. 2, Oxford 1961, pp. 126, 130 - 131〕 Some speculate that the Arabic name, ''Fourdis'', may be a corruption of the Hebrew name.
