Pool being dry

[edit]

I wonder if I could help out resolving the citation needed about the pool being dry. I was there last month and took a picture:

Pool of Hezekiah on the 14th of November 2019 taken from the Tower of David.

I do think that the year 2010 should be removed because it doesn't make any sense because the guide told us that it has been dry since the English introduced water pipes in Jerusalem. If someone sees merit in keeping it then perhaps we could change it to 2008 and cite a book called "The Holy Land: An Oxford Archaeological Guide (Oxford Archaeological Guides)" which mentions on page 65:

"At present the dry pool is used as a rubbish dump by the dwellings which surround it on all sides' but a much needed restoration project is on the drawind board." Murphy-O'Connor, Jerome (March 20, 2008). The Holy Land: An Oxford Archaeological Guide (Oxford Archaeological Guides) (5 edition ed.). Oxford University Press, USA. p. 65. ISBN 978-0199236664. Retrieved 22 December 2019. {{cite book}}: |edition= has extra text (help)

It's usually dry. What happens is that It occasionally fills up for a short time after heavy rains.--Rataube (talk) 16:14, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mamilla Pool: Herodian or Byzantine?

[edit]

See Mamilla Pool: in 1993, Denys Pringle still agreed with Vincent & Abel (1922) that the pool was probably named after a Byzantine-period matron who had sponsored its construction. Has archaeological work done since proven that it's been built by Herod? Arminden (talk) 14:24, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
