  1. James Kennedy The water was about 2 feet deep, and there were fish swimming around in it! Apparently there were well openings into this reservoir, and people would occasionally get a fish showing up in their buckets. Eventually someone lowered himself into the space with a torch and discovered how extensive it was. There are several large underground cisterns like this spread around the city, I believe dating back to the Roman era. Back when they were in active use, they'd be full of water.
