Hezekiah's Tunnel

This is the tunnel built by King Hezekiah to allow the Kingdom of Judah to have water during the Assyrian's seige. Today walking through it is about a 40 min. hike sometimes up to your knees in water. Don't let the pictures fool you, it's pitch black in there. The kid behind me kept yelling at me to turn off my flashlight so it could be more "scary,"but as you can see by some of these pictures that could have resulted in a concussion for me! It wasn't always this cramped but it's clear this tunnel wasn't built for Dutchmen!
