The Ancient Water Tunnels of Jerusalem
Over 3,000 years ago, when King David left the city of Hebron for a small hilltop city known as the City of David or Jerusalem, the unified capital of the tribes of Israel. Years later, King Solomon, David's son, built the First Temple next to the City of David on top of Mount Moriah, the site of the binding of Isaac, and with it, this hilltop became one of the most important sites in the world. Deep underground, lay the ancient water system that supplied Mount Moriah with water from the Gihon Spring, the major water source of Jerusalem for over 1,000 years. In addition, adventurers can trek through knee deep water in King Hezekiah's 2,700 year old water tunnel, one of the wonders of early engineering and the major water drawing source in biblical times.
