My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.

It’s the time of the Crusades, and Christian forces in Acre are all too aware that an attack from Muslim armies may be just around the corner. There are certainly no guarantees that the Christians will hold onto the Israeli city, either, despite the fortifications they have built up. So, one of the Crusaders’ military orders, the Knights Templar, decide to build themselves a secret escape: a passage beneath the bowels of Acre that leads in turn to the ocean. And the tunnel itself is so well concealed that it ultimately remains undiscovered for 700 years…

Old Acre Templars' Tunnel
The tunnel was discovered in 1994. The Templars were a military-monastic order who – in the name of the pope – aided pilgrims and the ailing coming from Europe to visit the holy sites of the Land of Israel.
They first settled in Jerusalem, on the Temple Mount, hence their name, the Templars, the guardians of the Temple. Following the conquest of Jerusalem by Salah Al-Din in 1187, the Templars made their home in Acre and began to build their quarter in the City's southwest section.
Here, at the western edge of the tunnel is where the main fortress of the Templar order was built. The Templar Fortress was the strongest one in the city and, for the most part, it abutted the sea line. As a strong fortress, its entrance was protected by two powerful towers with 28-foot thick walls. Two smaller towers were built on either side of the towers and each tower was topped by a gilded lion (as described by a Templar who lived in Acre during the siege of 1291).

The Order of Knights Templar which was founded by Hugh de Payens in 1119, in 1128 he visited England to raise support for the Crusades and the rest (as they say) is #History - But what exactly did the #KnightsTemplar protect and what lengths did they go to in their efforts to protect the very Holy things,

Was This Hidden Tunnel Used by the Knights Templar?
It's unclear if the Knights Templar created the secret tunnel in Acre, Israel, as an escape route or a way to secretly export valuable items. One thing is certain: It's a remarkable showcase of their engineering.

How a visit to Israel's Acre Citadel stressed out our autistic son
Our son got stressed out and agitated during our tour of the Acre Citadel after hearing shots being fired.Apparently, Old Acre can get quite noisy on Fridays afternoons when the locals have weddings and shoot continuously up in the air to mark the happy occasion.
This 1, 000-Foot-Long Secret Passage Was Built Below Israel – and Forgotten About for 700 Years
About 700-years ago, during the time of the Crusades, Christian forces in Acre knew that the Muslim army would soon attack them. The Christians wanted to hold onto the Israeli city, but there were no guarantees. The Knights Templar decided to build a secret passage beneath Acre that would lead to the ocean. The tunnel was so well concealed that it remained undiscovered for 700 years.
The problems started in 1095. During that time, Pope Urban II gathered the Council of Clermont that was made up of Roman and Catholic members of the clergy, both ordained and non-ordained, in the South of France. At the meeting, the Christians agreed to fight against the Muslim soldiers. The Christians wanted to reclaim the Holy Land. The Third Crusade in 1189 and the Christian soldiers were unable to reclaim Jerusalem. Fortunately, all was not lost. In 1191, the armies managed to claim the city of Acre, and victory was theirs.
During the period of the Crusades, the Knights Templar were one of many religious, military groups. They took it upon themselves to keep the Holy Land safe while looking after the Christian pilgrims who made their way to the area. The group was founded by a Frenchman named Hugues de Payens during the early Crusades. It wasn't until 1139 that the group was formally recognized. Pope Innocent II issued a decree that the Knights Templar had his protection. They also granted the members the rights to keep any treasures that they acquired in the Middle East. The group became famous in countries where Christianity was practiced. The more they were recognized, the more money came. They were instantly recognizable thanks to the way they were dressed. The colors were designed to do more than get them noticed. The colors had a symbolic meaning. The white cloth stood for their modesty and abstinence. The red crosses were a marker of martyrdom. They believed that if they died during the battle, it would guarantee their entrance to Heaven. Thanks to their money, they were able to build strong buildings in the Holy Land. Many of these still exist today. Around this time, the order built up a base in the coastal city. They knew that losing their stronghold was a possibility if their armies were attacked. This was when they came up with a plan to protect their territory. They decided that they needed to build up walls that nobody could get through. By the 13th century, the fortress was considered the strongest in the city. There were two towers with walls that were 28-feet thick. There were two smaller towers that were topped with a gilded lion. While building the fortress, the group decided that they needed a plan B. This was when they had a hidden subterranean passageway built underneath the building. If the castle was invaded, the group could flea underneath the building. It was also a way for them to get the supplies that they needed secretly.
The city had fallen and Khalil, the Egyptian sultan, ordered the city to be burned to the ground. This would prevent the Crusaders from regaining their territory. The fortress and other defensive strongholds were gone, and Acre was no longer a prized port. In fact, it was completely forgotten about until the mid-'90s. It was then that the settlement made headlines thanks to the subterranean tunnel.
In 1994, a woman was having issues with her drains. She called a plumber to fix the problem. When he was looking for the issue, he found much more than a drainage system. The Templars' tunnel was directly under her house. When experts visited the passage, they found that the tunnel dated back to the Crusades.
The tunnel was 1,150-feet long and ran under acre's Pisan quarter. The passageway was made of stone, and the methods of construction changed from section to section. The lower portion was made of whittled down rock. Above that section was a tunnel covered by a layer of hewn stone. When the tunnel was discovered, the authorities decided to restore it. During the renovation process, electric lights and a walkway were added. Finally, in 1999, a section of the passageway was ready for tourists. In 2007, the entire tunnel was ready for people to explore. The fact that the passageway remained undiscovered was unbelievable. If it weren't for that woman and her plumbing issue, the tunnel never would have been discovered. Unfortunately, the landmarks have changed over the centuries. The original fortress is now gone, and it has been replaced with a lighthouse. This 1, 000-Foot-Long Secret Passage Was Built Below Israel – And Forgotten About For 700 Years.
