The Ancient Reservoir
is part of the water supply system originating in several springs
in the Nazareth Hills. Two aqueducts - one carved into the bedrock,
the other constructed - once carried the water to Zippori. The major aqueduct
leads into an enormous reservoir measuring 260 meters (850 feet) long,
2-4 meters (6-13 feet) wide and about 10 meters (33 feet) deep.
