| Explore Hezekiah's Tunnel, an amazing engineering feat that was dug from either end and met in the middle! (Note: Those who are claustrophobic may want to meet the group at the other end of the tunnel!). |

This is the story of the tunnel while the axes were against each other and while three cubits were left to cut the voice of a man called to his counterpart, for there was echo in the rock on the right and on the day of the tunnel being finished the stonecutters struck each man towards his counterpart, ax against ax and flowed water from the source to the pool for 1200 cubits. and 100 cubits was the height over the head of the stonecutters.
This is the translation of the inscription found in Heziakiah's tunnel when teams of workers coming from each side met. Dated at 3000 years old, the original inscription has been removed and replaced with a replica. The tunnel stretches for the length of 6 football fields through solid rock. Amazing for our group to make our way through this tunnel which is barely the width of a person. At many points I had to bend over to make it through. Because this was a water tunnel we were wading through water that was at times up past our knees. |
