Warren's Shaft

Warren's Shaft is an archaeological feature located in the Ein Gedi area of Israel. It is an ancient water system, believed to date back to the time of King Herod. The shaft consists of a vertical tunnel carved into the rock, which extends deep underground to access water from a spring. This engineering marvel allowed ancient inhabitants to secure water in a region that experiences low rainfall. Warren's Shaft is notable for demonstrating the ingenuity and resourcefulness of early civilizations in managing their water resources and surviving in arid environments.
