Archaeologists uncover Second Temple-era priestly quarter of Jerusalem
Luxuries, like a bathtub, signal that the 2000-year old house being dug up in Mt. Zion, near Caiaphas' home, belonged to a member of the ruling class.
By Philippe Bohstrom
Archaeologists excavating in the heart of ancient Jerusalem have begun to uncover the neighborhood that housed the elite 2,000 years ago – most probably the priestly ruling class.One of the houses had its own cistern, a mikveh (a Jewish ritual bathing pool), a barrel-vaulted ceiling and a chamber with three bread ovens.
Priests?
Oh, the ones who conducted the Temple service.
Temple?
See how easy it is to counter Temple-Denial.
Denial by Abbas.
Denial by the Mufti of Jerusalem, the cleric in charge of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Muhammad Ahmad Hussein.
Denial by Raad Salah.
Etc.
