Re: Dating of King Hezekiah's Tunnel verified by scientists
The half-kilometer long tunnel was constructed without using intermediate shafts, an engineering innovation for its day.
Is that all? I walked through the damn thing a month ago - flashlight in hand and water to my knees - and it sure seemed a lot longer! It's an impressive structure.

That is false, and your inability to recognize that fact is almost embarrassing.
​
What is at issue is whether or not the historicity of the pool of Siloam is at all significant. All fiction, folklore, and legend are repleat with references to the real world. There are, indeed, farms in Kansas, and the state has seen far more than its fair share of tornados. None of this should be seen as exidence for the Munchkins or the Wizard of Oz. This point has been made over and over in this thread, and your inability to get it can only suggest diminished mental capacity or willful ignorance.
