5. Hezekiah’s Tunnel
Beneath the city of Jerusalem lies Hezekiah’s Tunnel, an impressive engineering feat dating to around 701 BCE. Mentioned in 2 Kings, this water channel was constructed to safeguard Jerusalem’s water supply during the Assyrian siege. The discovery of the tunnel, along with its ancient inscription, provides compelling evidence for the biblical account of King Hezekiah’s strategic preparations. Walking through the tunnel today offers a direct connection to the events described in scripture. For more, visit Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
