Beneath the Temple Mount: Exploring a 2,000-Year-Old Tunnel
We were granted rare access to a hidden world beneath one of the most sacred sites on Earth — the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Here, an ancient drainage tunnel has remained largely unseen for millennia.
Recently, archaeologists discovered a massive stone door blocking the tunnel. When they opened it, they uncovered three chambers, one of which contained a mysterious trap door. Guided by Christopher Eames, one of the site’s lead advisors, we crawled through this 2,000-year-old tunnel dating back to the time of Jesus.
Inside, the tunnel reveals a treasure trove of history:
Hidden chambers untouched for centuries
Ancient artifacts that shed light on Jerusalem’s past
The largest gold medallion ever found in Israel
Clues about the engineering and construction of sacred spaces beneath the Temple Mount
This exploration uncovers a side of Jerusalem few have ever seen, revealing how ancient peoples lived, worshipped, and safeguarded treasures beneath the city. Each turn of the tunnel and every hidden chamber tells a story that has been buried for nearly two millennia.
