In 2004, a maintenance crew fixing a broken sewer pipe in Jerusalem accidentally uncovered something scholars had dismissed for over a century — the real Pool of Siloam, the exact site described in the Gospel of John's story of the man born blind.
In this video, we trace two decades of excavation beneath the City of David: how uranium-thorium dating confirmed Hezekiah's Tunnel to around 700 BCE, how coins sealed beneath a pilgrimage road tie its construction directly to Pontius Pilate, and how a pool once dismissed as pure legend turned out to be one of the best-documented sites in the biblical world.

And the stories didn't happen. Read a good article in debunking exodus. And really think about it
