Rabbi Akiva ben Yosef was a third generation Tana. Originally an ignoramus, he began studying Torah under Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Yehoshua, eventually become the leading Torah authority. Rabbi Akiva's original 24,000 students died in a plague but his five surviving students that included Rabbi Shimon, Rabbi Meir, Rabbi Yossi and Rabbi Yehuda keep the chain of Torah alive in for the Jewish Nation. Rabbi Akiva was executed by the Roman government at age 120 and was buried in Tiberias.
