   From what I understand the details are lacking.  Does your bible give   
   an exact location?  By exact I mean can be differentiated from what   
   could be another tunnel a block away.  Or enough of a location to   
   insure the tunnel under discussion is actually in the proper location   
   and was not one dug later while the origional (if it ever existed) was   
   not destroyed.  What evidence do you have outside of your bible, which   
   is only one unverified source of information.
