Endnote 3 – Did Ancient Jerusalem Draw Water Through Warren’s Shaft?

Apparently all scholars agree that the bottom of the shaft was low enough for some water to be collected in it—after all, the common perception of the shaft’s function until Reich’s and Shukron’s discoveries was based on this premise. Furthermore, Reich and Shukron remeasured the shaft and explicitly claim that water was collected at its bottom. The debate was only whether water was actually drawn or not (for this, see my original article).
