The actual location of the site cannot be revealed for security purposes. In the time of King Hezekiah and the biblical prophets, soldiers on watchtowers warned the Israelites of approaching enemies. Today the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) still use similar watchtowers. The immense watchtower is 5 x 3.5 meters (16.4 x 11.4 feet) with some of the stones weighing 8 tons. The tower is two floors high.
