EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the end of the conduit leading to the Pool of Siloam, an ancient water source located in the City of David in Jerusalem. Dating back to the 2nd century BCE, the Pool of Siloam is a significant historical site in the Middle East, holding religious and cultural significance for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. The Pool of Siloam was fed by water from the Gihon Spring, which was brought to the pool through two impressive rock-cut aqueducts. The pool's name is mentioned in the New Testament, specifically in the Gospel of John, where it is described as the site where Jesus healed a man born blind. In this image, the conduit comes to an end, revealing the intricately carved archway that once supplied water to the Pool of Siloam. The rough-hewn stones and arches of the archway are a testament to the remarkable engineering feats of ancient civilizations. The Pool of Siloam is a popular tourist destination and a source of inspiration for scholars and historians. Visitors to the site can imagine the bustling activity of the ancient city, as people gathered around the pool to draw water for their daily needs and for religious rituals. This photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of rich history and cultural significance. The Pool of Siloam remains an enduring symbol of the ancient city of Jerusalem and a reminder of the importance of water in the Middle East.
