King Hezakiah's Tunnel


Here I am walking through a tunnel carved out through bedrock some 3000 years ago by King Hezakiah. It is mentioned in the Old Testament.
It connects the Gehon spring to the pool of Siloam. There is still knee deep water flowing through this 1800 foot long tunnel. Years ago it supplied all the water to the City of Jerusalem.
