Israel unearths 2,000-year-old section of Jerusalem aqueduct that brought water to Temple Mount

Archaeologists in Israel have unspanned a 2,000-year-old section of an ancient aqueduct in Jerusalem. The newly discovered structure formed part of a sophisticated water system designed to transport spring water from the Gush Etzion region, passing through Solomon's Pools.

The historical aqueduct served a critical infrastructure role by routing water directly to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The find highlights the advanced engineering capabilities of the period used to manage and supply water to major religious and civic sites in antiquity.
