In actuality, most of the tunnel is straight as an arrow. Its only right in the middle that the tunnel curves left and right, which is exactly what you would expect.
That's simply not true. Have you ever been in the tunnel? It bends right from the word go. There's a map here, and a (slightly simplified) cutaway plan here.
Ok. What I actually meant is that most of the tunnel only curves a little bit. There's only one bit right in the middle that's REALLY wibbly wobbly! And yes, I have been through it. It was a tiyul during my stay at Brovinder's.
I think that these were done in the 60's and 70's and haven't been touched since.
That's also not true; there's excavations going on by Robinson's Arch (about 200m from the Wall) at the southwestern corner of the Temple today; and lots of excavations going on in the City of David less than quarter of a mile to thee south of the Temple.
I only said I _think_. I defer to your greater and more recent knowledge.
I'm not signing off as P or Paul now, becuase then you'd know who I am.
