Jebusite Water Shaft Discovered in the City of David in 1867

Read while you listen

The shaft through which David conquered the city, made history once again, 2,800 years later, when Charles Warren, a British officer, coincidently rediscovered it in 1867. This divine coincidence led to the rediscovery of the true location of Ancient Biblical Jerusalem, which slowly disappeared for over 2,000 years.
