We sent a robot into the Temple Mount tunnel

Today, we embark on one of the most ambitious missions ever attempted on our channel—exploring a secret tunnel 40 feet beneath the streets of Jerusalem, rumored to run all the way to the Temple Mount! This mysterious underground passage, discovered beneath Christ Church in the Old City, has been shrouded in mystery for centuries. Could it have been an escape route during the destruction of the Second Temple? Or, perhaps, does it hide something much more extraordinary, like hidden treasures or even the legendary Ark of the Covenant?

To uncover its secrets, we built a high-tech DIY rover from scratch—a process that took over six months of research, design, and testing. Join us as we lower our rover into the depths, navigating treacherous terrain, and attempt to capture high-resolution footage of a place no human has been able to explore in decades. But this journey is not without its challenges. From equipment malfunctions to unexpected obstacles, this expedition will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

This is an adventure like no other, one that could rewrite history and offer a glimpse into the hidden world beneath one of the most sacred sites on Earth.
