Several extra activities have kept me from adding entries lately (and in the near future), but today we were with our students in the City of David, excavating next to the Pool of Siloam (or what might later be understood as part of the Pool of Siloam). The work that the excavators have done in the last couple of months is very impressive. There are now 16 steps visible, and the length exposed is about 50 meters, including one corner. I expect that this discovery will be one of the most significant in modern Jerusalem archaeology. This photo will give you an idea for how things look today; for scale, note the people at the far end of the photo.
