The Euphrates River Dried Up And This Mysterious Tunnel Appeared

The Euphrates, one of the longest and one of the historically important rivers of Western Asia, on which the various lives of the ancients depended heavily, has dried up.

This drying up is not just a biblical prophecy, but it has actually come true in these times.

Along with its drying up, many ancient discoveries, which have shocked the world, have emerged. A recent video shows a man showing a drastic drop in the water level of the Euphrates River. Only in the last few years the river water was almost completely drying up. In addition, the man also showed an ancient tunnel that leads to the underground with a very perfect building structure, which also has stairs which are neatly arranged and are still intact to this day.

Who has built all of this?

Some say that this is a relic of ancient people that is still preserved today. However, a rumour among the locals is that the tunnel leads to where the angels are imprisoned. As mentioned in the bible, to be precise, in Revelation 9:13-19: “Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” So, the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind. The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire[c] and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound.”

Revelation 16:12-16: “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.”

I truly hope that these sturdy structures, of impressive craftsmanship, are explored in detail, revealing other unknown historical information and knowledge to us. Is it possible that there are more discoveries to be made, in rivers and oceans elsewhere around the world?

The documentation which I managed to find about this tunnel in Wikipedia is that is known as the legendary Euphrates Tunnel, purportedly built between 2180 and 2160 BCE under the Euphrates River to connect the two halves of the city of Babylon in Mesopotamia.

Wikipedia states that “the existence of the Euphrates Tunnel has not been confirmed”. I guess now, we have the confirmation.

It is written in the Bibliotheca Historica (Book II, 1) by Diodorus in 50BCE that the tunnel was built and used by Queen Semiramis: “After all these in a low ground in Babylon, she sunk a place for a pond, four-square, erery square being three hundred furlongs in length, lined with brick, and cemented with brimstone, and the whole five-and-thirty feet in depth: into this having first turned the river, she then made a passage in form of a vault, from one palace to another, whose arches were built of firm and strong brick, and plaistered all over on both sides with bitumen, four cubits thick. The walls of this vault were twenty bricks in thickness, and twelve feet high, beside and above the arches; and the breadth was fifteen feet. This piece of work being finished in two hundred and sixty days, the river was turned into its antient channel again, so that the river flowing over the whole work, Semiramis could go from one palace to the other, without passing over the river. She made likewise two brazen gates at either end of the vault, which continued to the time of the Persian empire.”

Philostratus (d. 250 CE) also describes the tunnel’s construction in the Life of Apollonius of Tyana as Babylon being cut asunder by the river Euphrates, into halves of similar shape; and there passes underneath the river an extraordinary bridge which joins together by an unseen passage the palaces on either bank. However, he mentions that it was Queen Medea who asked for its construction.
