Tzipori - The Large Water Reservoir and the Shafts Tunnel

Tzipori existed as a Jewish city from the Hasmonean period until the 5th century CE. Tzipori was a well-known city for several reasons, but mainly due to the presence of Rabbi Yehuda Hanasi. From here he led the Sanhedrin for a certain period and here he signed the Mishnah.
In contrast to other cities, and for reasons I explain in the video - following the great revolt and the Bar Kochba revolt, Tzipori population increased significantly, and water resources needed also to increase. Tzipori reached its peak at the end of the 2nd century, at a time when Rabbi Yehuda Hanasi was living here. At that time, Tzipori population was 18,000 spread over 600 dunams, equivalent to 150 acres, and the water supply system was then in full consumption.
In this video, I focus on the supply of water through the large reservoir, the shafts tunnel, and the southern inner aqueduct.
