Great read ! I was totally unaware of the sluice theory associated with the Siloam tunnel. Your summary and analysis were very helpful. Equally helpful were your explanations about the various channels and water system as a whole. Thanks so much Chandler. I look forward to reading your analysis and conclusions about the Siloam tunnel. God bless. Hope you are well.

Thanks for reading John. This idea was only published earlier this year, so I assume you'll see more articles addressing it soon. Hope all is well.

Raising the level of the flow of the water was a problem decades ago, when youth at the southern end would, for political reasons block the flow which then would raise the level when youngsters were walking the tunnel from the northern entrance, thus endangering lives.
