Comments: Throughout history the Jewish people have dug underneath bedrock. This is one such example of bedrock overlaying tunnels, burial sites, rooms, etc.

 

From Easton: Rock, (Heb. tsur), employed as a symbol of God in the Old Testament (1 Samuel 2:2; 2 Samuel 22:3; Isaiah 17:10; Psalms 28:1; Psalms 31:2, Psalms 31:3; Psalms 89:26; Psalms 95:1); also in the New Testament (Matthew 16:18; Romans 9:33; 1 Corinthians 10:4). In Daniel 2:45 the Chaldaic form of the Hebrew word is translated "mountain." It ought to be translated "rock," as in Habakkuk 1:12 in the Revised Version. The "rock" from which the stone is cut there signifies the divine origin of Christ. (See STONE)
