Entrance

View looking south at the now–gated entrance to the Middle Bronze Channel.   Currently Channel II is entered via the modern “spring house.”  In ancient times the Gihon Spring provided water up to this level and from here the water flowed away from the viewer, southward.  Along the way water entered the “pool” on the right (west) side of the channel  and some watered the gardens on the east side of the channel—via “windows.”

In this area the channel is at least 6 ft. [1.8 m.] high.
