A mysterious and ancient stone tunnel was recently discovered near Kibbutz
Ramat Rachel in southern Jerusalem during preventative excavations ahead of
the construction of the new neighborhood promoted by the Israel Land
Authority (ILA).
The find, announced by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) on Thursday
morning, is expected to measure approximately 50 meters long, 5 meters high,
and 3 meters wide.
“We were excavating in relatively rocky and exposed terrain when suddenly we
discovered a natural karstic cavity,” said Dr. Sivan Mizrahi and Zinovi
Matskevich, excavation directors on behalf of the IAA. “To our amazement, as
the excavation progressed, this cavity developed into a long tunnel. Parts of
it are still collapsed, so the tunnel has not yet revealed all of its secrets.
”
最近，在以色列土地管理局 (ILA) 推动建设的新社区之前进行的预防性挖掘中，在耶路
撒冷南部基布兹拉马特·拉赫尔附近发现了一条神秘的古老石隧道。
以色列文物管理局（IAA）于周四上午宣布了这一发现，预计该遗址长约 50 米，高约 5
米，宽约 3 米。
“我们当时正在相对多岩石且裸露的地形上进行挖掘，突然发现了一个天然喀斯特洞穴，
”以色列文物管理局（IAA）的挖掘负责人西万·米兹拉希博士和齐诺维·马茨克维奇说
道。 “令我们惊讶的是，随着挖掘的进行，这个洞穴逐渐发展成一条长长的隧道。隧道
的部分路段仍然坍塌，因此它尚未完全展现其全部秘密。”
After descending a set of ancient stairs from the surface, archaeologists
found themselves standing at the hewn opening of the tunnel, which was filled
with sewage that had apparently flowed into it over hundreds or thousands of
years.
“The quarrying was executed meticulously. It is clear that whoever carved
this tunnel invested tremendous effort, careful planning, and possessed the
capabilities and resources necessary to achieve this goal,” Mizrahi and
Matskevich said.

The age of the tunnel is also a mystery to researchers, the excavation
directors explained, “since not even the smallest find was uncovered that
could indicate when it was created.”
考古学家沿着地面上一组古老的阶梯往下走，发现自己站在隧道的开凿入口处，隧道里充
满了污水，显然这些污水已经流入了数百年甚至数千年。
“采石作业进行得非常细致。很明显，开凿这条隧道的人投入了巨大的精力，进行了周密
的计划，并且具备实现这一目标所需的能力和资源，”米兹拉希和马茨凯维奇说道。

挖掘负责人解释说，隧道的年代对研究人员来说也是个谜，“因为连最小的发现都没有
找到，无法表明它的建造时间。”
Even so, the two noted that the tunnel is only a few hundred meters from two
other important historical sites: an Iron Age (First Temple period) public
building in Jerusalem’s Arnona neighborhood and Tel Ramat Rachel, which is
home to settlement remains from both the Iron Age and the Islamic period.
Purpose of tunnel is currently unknown
Yet the purpose of the tunnel remains unclear.
即便如此，两人也指出，该隧道距离另外两个重要的历史遗址只有几百公尺： 一个 是耶
路撒冷阿诺纳社区的铁器时代（第一圣殿时期）公共建筑，另一个是特拉马特拉赫尔遗址
，那里有铁器时代和伊斯兰时期的定居点遗迹 。
目前尚不清楚该隧道的用途。
然而，这条隧道的用途仍然不明。
Initially, researchers proposed that the tunnel was an ancient water
installation built to reach a nearby spring.
This assumption, however, was ruled out for several reasons: The lack of
plastering on the tunnel walls, a common practice for water infrastructure in
order to prevent seepage; following a consultation with a geologist, who
explained that there are no known underground water sources in the
surrounding area; and because the tunnel bears no indication of water
accumulation.
The second possibility floated by researchers was that the tunnel belonged to
an underground agricultural or industrial installation. However, upon further
examination, the scale of the work and the absence of comparable sites in the
vicinity made this explanation unlikely.
Currently, the assessment is that the tunnel was dug to reach a chalk layer
suitable for quarrying building stone or for lime production. A possible
ventilation shaft carved into the tunnel’s ceiling, as well as quarrying
debris discovered on the tunnel’s floor, support this theory, although it
too remains uncertain.
Alternatively, the tunnel may never have been completed, leaving its intended
purpose and nature unknown.
最初，研究人员提出该隧道是古代建造的引水设施，用于到达附近的泉水。
然而，这一假设被排除在外，原因有以下几点：隧道墙上没有抹灰，而抹灰是水利基础设
施防止渗漏的常见做法；咨询地质学家后，地质学家解释说，周围地区没有已知的地下水
源；而且隧道没有积水的迹象。
研究人员提出的第二种可能性是，这条隧道属于地下农业或工业设施。然而，经过进一步
考察，工程规模之大以及附近缺乏类似遗址，使得这种解释不太可能成立。
目前评估认为，挖掘这条隧道是为了到达适合开采建筑石材或生产石灰的白垩层。隧道顶
部可能开凿的通风井以及在隧道底部发现的采石废料都支持这一理论，尽管理论本身仍存
在不确定性。
或者，这条隧道可能从未建成，因此其预期用途和性质仍然未知。
Reminder of Jewish connection to Jerusalem
Dr. Amit Re’em, a Jerusalem District archaeologist at the IAA, added that
the discovery, on the eve of Jerusalem Day, joins many others “being
uncovered every day, hour by hour, throughout the city.”
“Usually we have explanations for the discoveries we uncover, but sometimes,
as in this case, we stand astonished and amazed,” Re’em said.
Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu echoed the sentiment, noting that “during
Jerusalem Day week, this special discovery reminds us of the deep and ancient
connection of the Jewish people to Jerusalem.”
提醒人们犹太人与耶路撒冷的联系
以色列文物管理局耶路撒冷区考古学家阿米特·雷姆博士补充说，这一发现是在耶路撒冷
日的前夕，它与“每天、每小时在全城各地发现的许多其他文物”一起，成为耶路撒冷城
的一部分。
“通常我们对所发现的事物都有解释，但有时，就像这次的情况一样，我们会感到震惊和
惊奇，”雷姆说。
文化遗产部长阿米凯·埃利亚胡也表达了同样的看法，他指出，“在耶路撒冷日这一周，
这一特殊发现提醒我们，犹太民族与耶路撒冷有着深厚而古老的联系。”
“Beneath the city’s soil, extraordinary enterprises of life, creativity,
and construction are revealed time and again, testifying to generations of
people who lived and worked here and left their mark,” he said. “Jerusalem
is not only the present-day capital of the State of Israel - it is also the
heart of the historical story of the Jewish people, which continues to be
uncovered before our eyes.”
The tunnel is expected to be incorporated into a public archaeological park
built near the new neighborhood being planned by the Israel Lands Authority.
The neighborhood, to be built north of the kibbutz on approximately 58
dunams, is expected to include 488 housing units, thousands of square meters
designated for employment and commercial use, an elementary school, and
kindergartens.
“在这座城市的土壤之下，一次又一次地展现出非凡的生命、创造力和建设精神，见证著
一代又一代人在这里生活、工作并留下印记，”他说。 “耶路撒冷不仅是当今以色列国
的首都，它也是犹太民族历史的核心，这段历史仍在我们眼前不断被发掘。”
预计该隧道将被纳入以色列土地管理局正在规划的新社区附近建造的公共考古公园。
该社区将建在基布兹北部，占地约 58 杜纳姆，预计将包括 488 套住房单元、数千平方
公尺的就业和商业用地、一所小学和几所幼儿园。
