In early 2020, I met Cindy Brannon, head of “Your Holy Land Tours.” We filmed at the Gihon spring, and then the Pool of Siloam:
We also walked up parts of the Herodian Drainage Channel. About 2,000 years ago, above that drainage channel, a wide street connected the Pool of Siloam with the Temple Mount. This enabled a mass of Jewish pilgrims to purify at the Pool of Siloam and then ascend, in purity, to the Temple Mount to preform an animal sacrifice ceremony.
A few years earlier, I also presented the site to Eran Frenkel in his production series Jerusalem Experience.
I recently found on Youtube an amateur recording of me sitting at the Pool of Siloam and explaining a few ancient coins, including the Tyrian Shekel. Take a look –
Touring the Pool of Siloam
The Pool of Siloam is part of the natioonal park in the City of David. It can be reached by walking through Hezekiah’s Tunnel, or by direct entry. From the pool, it is possible to hike up the Herodian Drainage Channel up the Southern Wall Archaeological Park, the biggest archaeological park in Jerusalem.
