We now explore three waterways that supplied water to the Temple.
Here we begin the Western Wall Tunnel virtual tour.
Originally a promenade that ran the full length of the Western Wall.
As we near the exit, we can't help but marvel at the modern miracle of the Jewish people's return to their land.
This is the closest accessible point to where the Holy Ark stood.
Meet the largest building stone ever used in world history.
We enter a very long, straight, narrow passage known eponymously as "The Tunnel."
Today, you will be travelling through those tunnels. Your virtual footsteps will trace thousands of years of history.
Here, close to Wilson's Arch, is the "Hall of the Hasmoneans."
The fluorescent brightness of modern life falls away as we descend inside the tunnels.
At the end of the Hasmonean aqueduct is a large pool called the Struthion Pool.
Warren's Gate was one one of the major entrances to the Temple Mount.
It was once called the "Wailing Wall," for all the generations of Jewish tears shed at this holy place of yearning.
At the time of the Second Temple, a huge bridge connected the upper city of Jerusalem to the Temple Mount.
