Tukuk-OS🗧️ Biar Aqueduct
Israel · Asia · 31.66°N, 35.15°E
The Biar Aqueduct, or Wadi el-Biyar Aqueduct, is an ancient aqueduct in the northern Hebron Hills, south of Jerusalem, that formed part of the city's historic water-supply system. Traditional attribution places its construction under Herod the Great, but radiocarbon dating of its plasters indicates a mid-first-century CE build with second-century renovations associated with Aelia Capitolina, although it is possible that the entire system dates exclusively to the second century. The two-stage option might place its construction under the governorship of Pontius Pilate. Sections were refurbished under the British Mandate in 1924 and remained in service until 1967.
