Ancient surprise from time of Jesus unearthed in Jerusalem

Ancient surprise from time of Jesus unearthed in Jerusalem: JERUSALEM – Archaeologists here Monday unveiled a well-preserved, 2,000-year-old pyramid-shaped staircase believed to have been a podium used to communicate with pilgrims ascending the main road to the Second Jewish Temple.

“What we believe is probably someone would stand on the podium and preach to the people as they went by,” archaeologist Joe Uziel, who directed the excavation on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority, told WND.
