2,000-Year-Old Ritual Bath Uncovered in Jerusalem
(Times of Israel) Matti Friedman - The remains of a 2,000-year-old ritual bath, in use around the time of the Second Temple, were uncovered near the modern-day Jerusalem neighborhood of Kiryat Menachem, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced Wednesday. The remains were found in a salvage dig ahead of the construction of a new road. Archaeologist Benyamin Storchan said the construction of the bath was unique: "The complex that was exposed at this time is a more sophisticated and intricate system."
