Right now, excavations are underway in Jerusalem. Israeli archaeologists are uncovering the Pool of Siloam in its entirety for the first time in two thousand years, and the earth they're uncovering hasn't seen the light of day since the Romans burned the city. Everything the world considers known about this site—the monumental steps, the tunnel, the road, the coins bearing Pontius Pilate's name—comes from just a small fragment. From one corner. The rest has been there in darkness all this time, guarding what it guards. And this season, it's all emerging from the earth.
