Second Temple period artifacts found
Artifacts dating back 2,000 years have been uncovered just outside the walls of Jerusalem's Old City, the Antiquities Authority announced Tuesday.

They were discovered during ongoing excavations at the Givati parking lot near the Dung Gate, and date back to the Second Temple and Hasmonean periods.

They include the remains of a mikva, various bronze and metallic utensils and coins, candles, and a stone oil-storage vessel decorated with shofarot.

A few more of these and maybe, just maybe, the Waqf and the bogus pseudo-archaeologists that they've funded (and their friends have funded) will stop trying to rewrite history again and again and again.
