It’s okay. I don’t mind being narced on. LOL

It appears to be part of a "protected, well-fortified passage that descends to the spring tower from some sort of fortress that stood at the top of the hill," according to the joint statement. This could be the very shaft David and his men climbed up to defeat the Jebusites.

""To build straight walls up 8 meters ... I don't know how to do it today without mechanical equipment,"I can certainly imagine how it could be done;
build an earthen ramp up to the height the stone needs to go, drag it up the ramp on rollers (round logs), building the ramp higher for each succeeding course of stones.
When done, haul off the dirt from the ramp.
Simple, not easy.

I agree. Simple answer...whoda thunk it. People love a mystery that’s why they constantly come up with new ideas on how the pyramids were built.

The wall is built of enormous boulders, confounding archaeologists as to how ancient peoples built it.

I can’t wait for the headlines 3,000 years now: Massive Invisible Wall Found On Old US Southern Border.
