Description

A fun gay Indiana Jones type adventure through the sights and sounds of modern Israel against a backdrop of ancient Roman battle sites and towns described by the famous Jewish First century writer Flavius Josephus. Two very different men-- one older and retired from business and the other an adventurous younger archeologist build a lasting love relationship while exploring the path of battles that led to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. And finally leading to the accidental discovery of the previously unknown Royal Crown Jewels of Herod the Great-a priceless treasure trove. And its effect on modern Israel and their own relationship.
