Ein Karem resident, Tal, climbs down a ladder into a ritual bath that was discovered under his family's house in Jerusalem, July 1, 2015. The Jerusalem family has found a 2,000-year-old Jewish ritual bath under their house while renovating the living room floor, Israel's Antiquities Authority said on Wednesday. Pottery vessels inside the rock-hewn bath helped archaeologists date the discovery to the 1st century. The house is in the village of Ein Karem, the traditional birthplace of John the Baptist.
