What Was The Vatican Searching For When They Built Secret Tunnel Under Jerusalem Church? | "To dig a tunnel in such a sensitive area without any oversight, inspection or access to the public is insane." (www.zerohedge.com)

The Regavim Movement https://www.regavim.org/the-secret-tunnel-being-hidden-by-the-jerusalem-municipality/ , a research-based think tank and lobbying group dedicated to preserving Israel's national lands and resources, recently filed a petition with the Jerusalem District Court, demanding the city take action against the illegal underground tunnel.

According to the petition submitted to the Jerusalem District Court, the Regavim Movement alleges the church concealed the existence of the 100-meter long tunnel that infringes on public property in an area allegedly known for archaeological remains.

The petition says the tunnel connects the Church of the Dormition on Mount Zion in the Old City of Jerusalem to "Beit Josef," a nearby guest house.

"When the details began to come into focus, we demanded over and over that the Jerusalem Municipality publicize the documentation of its findings, as required by the Freedom of Information Law. We further demanded that oversight, inspection and law enforcement procedures be taken immediately, to restore the site to its previous condition either by sealing off or demolishing the tunnel," attorneys Avi Segal and Yael Cinnamon of the Regavim Movement told The Jerusalem Post.

"We filed this petition only when our repeated requests to the Jerusalem Municipality were not answered," the attorneys said.

Naomi Kahn, director of Regavim's International Division, told Jewish News Syndicate, "the fact that the State of Israel has not protected the antiquities that we know are there and how the digging of the tunnel has disturbed what's there is outrageous."

"To dig a tunnel in such a sensitive area without any oversight, inspection or access to the public is insane," Kahn added. "They had no right to do so, to begin with."

According to a statement by Regavim last year, their "investigation revealed that along the path of the tunnel, underground rooms contain ancient artifacts, and the tunnel itself encroaches to a significant extent on public property."

There are many questions about why the Vatican secretly constructed a tunnel through a plot of land known for ancient artifacts. Perhaps the tunnel's true intent is not for transportation, but rather church officials were searching for something...

COURT CASE BROUGHT AGAINST JERUSALEM FOR HIDING VATICAN’S ILLEGAL ‘MESSIAH TUNNEL’

It was allegedly built by the Catholic authorities in Jerusalem as an underground passage from the main building of the Dormition Abbey to the residences of the clergy in the Beit Yosef building, a dormitory/guest house it built nearby decades ago. CALLING THEIR BLUFF But spiritual leader of the Yanar Institute in Jerusalem, Rabbi Daniel Asor isn’t buying it. According to Rabbi Asor, that tunnel is a means for the Vatican to exhume the bones of King David who they allege was buried in Mt Zion. As the church is Catholic, the rabbi asserts that they are operating under the Vatican’s instructions. Rabbi Asor adds that it’s all part of the Vatican’s plan to collect DNA from the body of King David and use his DNA to “recreate” the Messiah in an effort to fool the world into believing that the Messiah has arrived.

Rabbi Daniel Asor (courtesy: screenshot) Adding more mystery to the affair, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) which should have supervised the digging in the sensitive area has consistently denied the existence of the tunnel. FORCED TO MEASURE AND DOCUMENT As a result of Regavim’s legal pressure over the past two years, the Jerusalem Municipality was forced to measure and document the tunnel, which encroaches on public property in an area dense with archaeological remains. Since the completion of the mapping project, the municipality has ignored Regavim’s continued requests for documentation of the tunnel and law enforcement at the site. This section of Mount Zion includes the subterranean area believed to be King David’s tomb, the Hasmonean-era city walls, and the First Temple-era city wall.
