The Siloan Inscription. It was found inside Hezekiah’s Tunnel, where two crews digging from both sides met. The tunnel was described in 2 Chronicles 32, dug to bring water from the Pool of Siloam outside of the city walls to bring water inside Jerusalem. It was done in anticipation of the siege by Assyria around 600BC.
