What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorArchaeologists with the Israel Antiquities Authority have uncovered a two-thousand-year-old aqueduct near Jerusalem, and a biblical scholar believes it has links to Jesus and the early Christians.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwo thousand years, Chip. Somebody carved that channel by hand so strangers they'd never meet could have water, and it's still here.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThink of the first person who stood there and watched it run. Water just showing up, and no plumber.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNo plumber. I'm going to need a minute.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTake two. Your vision board can wait.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat aqueduct is still carrying something after all these centuries, and I think it's going to be my mascara.
