The Sultan's Pool ((ヘブライ語:בריכת הסולטאן) Birket es-Sultan) is an ancient water basin by the west side of Mount Zion, Jerusalem. Its origins likely date to the time of Herod and some think it is the Snake pool mentioned by Josephus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sultan's pool )〕 In Hasmonean times, water was fed into it via the lower aqueduct.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=An Archaeological Excavation in Jerusalem Has Revealed:This is How They Filled The Sultan’s Pool With Water )〕 The Ottoman sultans (for whom the pool is named) enlarged it into a reservoir measuring 67 m × 169 m × 12 m. It was part of the water supply network for Jerusalem from antiquity to late Ottoman Empire times. During the Crusaders times, it was known as Lacus Germani.〔(BIBLICAL RESEARCH. THE "LOWER POOL," JERUSALEM, ) ''The Independent'', Volume 51, Issue 1, 1899〕 Currently it is dry in summer and used for concerts and festivals. ==References==
