Siloam Tunnel Inscription

When Assyrian invasion threatened Jerusalem, King Hezekiah ordered workers to carve a 1,750-foot tunnel through solid rock to redirect the Gihon Spring inside the city walls. The inscription, discovered in 1880, describes the dramatic moment when two teams of diggers — working from opposite ends — broke through to meet in the middle. It's one of the oldest known Hebrew inscriptions and directly corroborates 2 Kings 20:20.
