A team of archaeologists discovered a huge, 2800 -year -old dam in David’s city in Jerusalem. There are only a few steps from where According to the Bible, Jesus healed a blind man. According to John, the Gospel recalls that the Lord sent a man to the Siloe pond, which lies in the area of Jerusalem walls. This historically and biblically important place was originally rediscovered in 2004informs the portal.
This moment is described in John 9: 10-11. “The man they call Jesus, he made mud and painted it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloe and washed. So I went, washed and started seeing,” He said the man that people asked how he saw again.
The latest discovery was announced on August 30 after joint research of the Israeli Office for Monuments and the Weizmann Institute of Sciences. The newly uncovered dam dates from the 9th century BC, probably from the reign of King Johs or Amazja. Researchers say it is the largest ancient dam discovered in Israel and at the same time the oldest known in Jerusalem. Is really huge, Its stone construction is approximately 12 meters in height, 21 meters in length and 8 meters in width.
Thanks to the preserved twigs and branches in Malta, it was accurately determined by its inception between 805 and 795 BC. “The dam was designed to collect waters from the Gihon source, as well as flood waters flowing through the main valley of ancient Jerusalem,” archaeologists.
All data suggest that at that time there was dry weather with low rainfall, which sometimes interrupted short but intense storms causing floods. The construction of such large water systems was therefore a direct response to climate change and dry conditions.
Eli Eli Escusido, Director of the Eli Office, described this finding as one of the most impressive and important remains from the first temple in Jerusalem. “In recent years, Jerusalem has been revealed more than ever… and many surprises are still waiting for us,” he added.
The discovery came shortly after the report of finding a fraudulent city near the place associated with the rest of Noah’s Ark. This finding could lead to a new perspective on the Biblical Story of the Flood. The real European Atlantis is located 26 meters below the surface of Lake Van, near Gevaş. This lake lies only 240 kilometers from the Hill of Ararat, where the Ark was supposed to anchor after the Great Flood.
