Archeologists said Tuesday they have uncovered a 14th-century aqueduct that supplied water to Jerusalem for almost 600 years along a route dating back to the time of Jesus... Photographs from the late 19th century showed the aqueduct in use by the city's Ottoman rulers, nearly 600 years after its construction in 1320.

It took 600 years to build with union work.

Obvious a clever counterfeit by the Charnay family from Lirey France.

[GeronL]

I know. They did have some camera’s back during the Civil War... the story makes it sound as if it was still being used at that time.

Amazing to think the water ran for so long, wonder why it fell into disuse.

Personally, I think they aught to build an aqueduct in the U.S. bringing excess rain and flood waters from the Mississipi area to the west where we need water.

Islam’s fault.

[SunkenCiv]

I think the way to do that would be to nab water out of the Missouri instead, at its higher altitudes, and run it (as you said) in aqueducts which run a minimum downhill slope, to deliver water for trickle irrigation.

[SunkenCiv]

LOL!

[ElkGroveDan]

You’re the only one who got the joke.
