Starting our day in Hezikiahs Tunnel

Starting our day in Hezikiahs Tunnel  

Peggy, Claire, Heather
If you have an interest in ancient archeology and history there is no more interesting place to go then Hezekiah Tunnel. Over 2500 years ago civilizations finest engineers set out to build a secure water supply for the city. A city surrounded by the enemy without fresh water is doomed. King Hezekiah commissioned the work. There are many unanswered questions about the work, but what is clear is that this was a remarkable engineering accomplishment. Our group of 20 made their way through water that was thigh high in places, through passages that we needed to stoop to get through.
