Approximately 2,000-Year-Old Water Channel Uncovered Near Jerusalem

A 300-meter section of the ancient water channel was uncovered during excavation ahead of the construction of a new neighborhood near Kibbutz Ramat Rachel. The conduit was built in the Hasmonean period, carried water for about 21 km from Solomon's pools to Jerusalem, and was used until roughly a hundred years ago. The find is expected to be incorporated into the new neighborhood, and the Antiquities Authority is promoting the creation of a park along the channel up to the Old City.
