our group uncovered antiquities from the time of Christ. At the south end of Herod's Temple Mount, we discovered large baths called **** Fous, used for ceremonial purification. Before entering the temple area, the religious would bathe in the Memphis. The Christian practice of baptism finds its roots there. In those pools, we discovered artifacts, lamps and pottery. What an eerie, thrilling thing toe uncover mysteries which have been buried in darkness for generations. Those lamps once glowed in the hands of their owners. One can't help wonder about their names and faces their joys and troubles.
