Archaeologists making discoveries in Jerusalem have revealed an organization of mysterious canals that date back to the times of Lord Joash and Amaziah, nearly 2,800 years old.
The facilities are the first of their kind anywhere in Israel, the IAA said in a statement on Wednesday. The public park where the designs were found is home to the archaeological site of the City of David - which most researchers believe is the area of the first settlement in Jerusalem.

The scores, cut into the bedrock, were probably used to extinguish some result, however it's hazy what the very ancient Jerusalemites were producing there, the Israel Antiquities Authority and Tel Aviv College said in a statement Wednesday.
Forensic testing of the pipes found no blood, suggesting they were not used to butcher the creatures. Likewise, the pipes do not appear to have been designed to transport an enormous volume of water.
The antiquated designs are the first of their kind found at any site in Israel, according to the National Relic designation.
No such structure is known in Israel, so experts say they can only guess at its motivation. Their focal area indicates that the object was associated with the economy of a royal residence or sanctuary.
These designs were used when the city's most memorable shrine was remembered as having existed, specialists said.
Uncoverings led by the IAA and Tel Aviv College in the City of David public park have so far revealed two facilities a little more than 30 feet (10 meters) apart, which may have been important for one huge building.
Despite some differences in the way the two channels were cut and planned, the two are apparently very comparable, the IAA said.
Archaeologists uncovering diverted devices tracked down in Jerusalem.
The canals are knee-deep and stand in two bundles, 10 meters apart. They are made of chipped rock and are about 30 centimeters wide and 50 centimeters high. They are not connected to any other water sources and do not appear to be used for percolation or sewage disposal.
"The mystery may have unfolded further when we traced the second device to the south," explained Yuval Gadot of Tel Aviv College's Department of Prehistoric Studies and Department of Ancient Near Eastern Civil Devices.
"We looked at the enterprise and understood that we were stumbling upon something extraordinary, but since we had never seen such a structure in Israel, we had not the foggiest idea how to decipher it," Yiftah Shalev, a senior scientist at the IAA, said in explanation. “Indeed, even its date was confused.
Specialists have figured out how to date when the devices stopped working - around the end of the ninth century BC. during the time of the biblical Judahite rulers Joash and Amaziah.
The area where the pipes are located was formerly part of a large modern and private complex. It is therefore conceivable that the pipes were used for various exercises such as assembling materials, preparing food, and performing strict ceremonies.
The release of the pipeline is a secret, yet significant. It brings new knowledge about the old city of Jerusalem and its relatives. The pipes are a special revelation that helps archaeologists better understand the Jerusalem experience.
