GREAT ARCH OF BIBLICAL TIMES. “CAUSEWAY OF THE GOING UP.” By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. , - Jerusalem, Nov.. 24. The Great Arch connected with Biblical times, and supposed to be “the causeway of the going up,” mentioned in 1 Chronicles XXVI. 16, has been discovered during repairs to the drainage canal in the old city under the synagogue close to the Wailing Wall. The arch belongs to a series which in Jewish times supported the street leadinn- from the temple area to the upper city. Also 16 yards below the floor level of the synagogue - has been found a pool believed to be the Pool of Burak, so named after the legendary steed of the Prophet Mahomet, who is supposed to have tethered the animal to the spot before his miraculous journey to Heaven.
