A Site That Makes Jaws Drop

As our group made its way in the Tunnel Tour, along the full length of the Wall—a total of 1500 feet— bits of archaeology from the first century came into view. Descending some steps revealed a massive stone that represents part of the “master course” of stones.

One of these stones measures forty-four feet long, ten feet high, and more than twelve feet deep. Weighing in at 570 tons, it remains the largest of its kind in the Middle East. Every first-timer’s jaw drops when he or she sees it.

Mine still drops.
