The Story of Hezekiah's Tunnel
2700 years ago, under threat of siege, King Hezekiah of Judah completed one of the engineering marvels of the ancient world.
This 1750 foot rock cut channel travels through solid rock diverting the water from the Gihon Spring to inside the fortified city wall, preventing access to the encroaching Assyrian army. See Seals of Isaiah and King Hezekiah Discovered! Exhibit - armstronginstitute.org/631-se...

We sometimes forget that the ancient Israelites had very excellent engineering skills. Observe all the construction they were able to accomplish. Many of those skills were learned in Egypt and passed on to posterity.
I hope that the stone standing in Istanbul will be returned back to Jerusalem.
I have walked Hezekiah’s tunnel many times and it’s a great experience!
Thank you always AIBA. I pray that the Siloam inscription currently in Istanbul is returned back to it's original placement, and that one day I can see all of this in person.
An excellent video short of an Amazing feat of engineering.. and an amazing historically accurate biblical narrative about it!
It is through archeology, that the more we look at the past, the more impressive is the technological capacity of ancient civilizations, they have clearly shown that were not not Bug heads; On the other hand, both secular and Biblical histories clearly testify to this. The Tunnel ordered by the great King Hezekiah can give us a visualization of the knowledge in Civil Engineering necessary for the construction of the tunnel.
Incredible work for this time ! Thank you for this vidéo. (From Belgium).
Ca devrait être l'une des 7 merveilles du monde cest tellement magnifique 😊 merci du Québec !
And now......the sluice gate has been discovered which controlled the water flow!!! Amazing!!!

I just walked the tunnel on a tour last week. I was able to find the sluice gate. They left the nails in place and at water level, you can see where they had chiseled out a rectangular recess for the frame. It was fun to locate since it was just discovered last year and even my guide knew nothing about it. I imagine, that for now, I'm one of the few people that have seen it and knew what I was looking at.

@@shable1436 I don't live there but I wish I could. I was on a tour group through my church. I just did a bunch of research before I went because I didnt want to miss anything. By the end they were calling me the third tour guide after the Israeli guide and our pastor. What really got me was how much hadn't been dug up yet. Beth Shemesh is hardly touched. Thats where Sampson and Deliah were and its also where the Ark was sent back to after the Philistines took it in battle.
Very awesome!❤
This is excellent but brings me some confusion: at 4:20, existing walls are given their dimensions in cubits. As this inscription was ancient & the walls are still existing, why is it often said we 'don't know how long their cubit is'? King's elbow to fingertip depends on which King. Go re-measure the wall & KNOW.

Between 18.5 inches and 20.67 inches. Apparently there were 2 cubit measurements in the Biblical text. The standard cubit was 18.5 inches while the "royal" cubit often used for holy relics like the Ark of the Covenant or the showbread table used the royal cubit length of 20.67 inches. Rav Avraham Karlitz (known as the Chazon Ish) had the outlier view that the royal cubit was 22.56 inches!
turkey needs to return it to Israel
The part where it says scientists are baffled at how the two teams met in the middle,😂😅 they don't believe nothing is impossible with God. 😢
Holey moley!!
