The Why, How, and When of the Siloam Tunnel Reevaluated
The Siloam Tunnel, an important engineering achievement of the Iron Age II, led the water of the Gihon Spring inside the city perimeter of ancient Jerusalem, ensuring water supply in peacetime as well as during war. This enterprise was planned after an earlier aqueduct failed to adequately supply Jerusalem's water needs because of hydrological limitations; also it was insufficiently defensible. We hypothesize that the tunnel was hewn at a level c…

Holocene Evolution of the Northeastern Corner of the Nile Delta
The constructive phase of the modern Nile Delta, as manifested in a 48-m section drilled east of the Suez Canal, commenced in very early Holocene times. Sands rich in marine fauna were deposited in the littoral zone and the shoreline was more than 20 km landward of its present-day position. Subsequently, clays and silts were dumped from the Nile distributaries and the marine faunal spectrum became very limited and brackish. Later in early and mid…
