Photo, above: Relief of the Bar Kokhba Revolt. In 132 CE, a revolt led by a potential Messiah, Bar Kokhba, swept through Jewish lands, attempting to overthrow the rule of Rome. Vast amounts of wealth are believed to have been hidden during this time in preparation for a victory and rebuilding of the Jewish Temple.

After three years, 600,000 dead and 50 towns and 985 villages razed the rebellion came to a bloody end at the fortress of Betar with the death of Bar Kokhba and his remaining followers. The Romans suffered tremendous losses throughout this campaign, so great in fact that they refused to allow the burial of Bar Kokhba and those who fell with him for 17 years.  See: Hour 1, Invisible Armies: An Epic History of Guerrilla Warfare from Ancient Times to the Present, by Max Boot
