Best Answer

It was dug by two teams working from both ends around 9th or 8th century BCE. It was not an enlargement of an existing tunnel, but is an aquaduct that provides water to Jerusalem from the Gihon Spring. At the time, this was a defensive measure to provide water to the city. It is about 533 meters long with a gradient difference of about 30 cm.
