(Heritage Daily) Archaeological excavations in Jerusalem's new Givat Hamatos neighborhood uncovered a 300-meter section of an ancient aqueduct that was built by King Herod some 2,000 years ago. During Herod's reign, the city population saw a large period of growth, meaning that the water flowing in springs and stored in cisterns was no longer sufficient to support the city inhabitants. "Due to this situation, the Hasmoneans and King Herod built two complex aqueducts to transport water to Jerusalem (from springs in the Bethlehem region), constituting one of the grandest and most sophisticated water projects in the country, and indeed, the ancient world," said Dr. Ofer Sion of the Israel Antiquities Authorities. 2023-10-05 00:00:00Full Article
