Tunnel of Eupalinos: How Two Ancient Teams Met Underground

Tunnel of Eupalinos: How Two Ancient Teams Met Underground How could two teams dig into opposite sides of a mountain and meet underground? Explore the Tunnel of Eupalinos on Samos and the planning challenges behind ancient Greek tunnel engineering. Without seeing through the mountain, how could builders choose their direction, control their level, and work toward a shared meeting point? This illustrated journey explores the questions behind an extraordinary construction project—and the relationship between measurement, geometry, and teamwork.
