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.

🎥 Watch the video below to crawl through the Temple Mount tunnel, explore hidden chambers, and discover ancient treasures beneath Jerusalem:
