King Hezekiah took extreme measures to protect Jerusalem's water source- and his famous tunnel remains one of the world's efforts to survive a terrifying seige...
Tremendous video Jay, thank you so much for sharing it for all to see. I love the way your enthusiam for the Word comes through your videos, and how you bring the past, to life today. Wonderful.
I suspect the reason they dug the tunnel from both ends and winded their way through the rock and in the end they met head-on is because they simply followed a crack in the rock with water already seeping through it. So basically they enlarged the crack into a tunnel to divert the whole body of water through it. This also explains why the two teams met in the same vertical plane but at different heights. Then made the correction resulting into a segment of the tunnel with a large ceiling area. That also explains why they started on both sides seemingly going in the wrong direction at first - i.e. they didn't bother estimating the shortest path but rather followed the "bread crumbles". It doesn't make sense to use two teams from both ends sneaking their way through rock hoping to run into each other. It would be more economical and perhaps faster to use one team simply digging into a straight line. My two cents "forensication"...
I think you meant Jeremiah. Regardless, the Ark would not have been smuggled out of Jerusalem via Hezekiah's Tunnel-it's far to narrow with sharp turns, making its removal impossible.

What is the length of the tunnel, brother from the spring to Jerusalem ?
The tunnel is 577 yards long from the spring to the Byzantine pool, about 28’ wide and varies in height from 5’ to 25’. Blessings!
@@jay.mccarl thank you, brother.
Jeremy went throught this way with the Ark of covenant
