house close to walls of the Second Temple and ancient town of Dalmanutha found

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Found: The bathtub that could have belonged to a priest who condemned Jesus to death and a town where Christ rested after the miraculous feeding of the 5,000

Archaeologists from the University of North Carolina and University of Reading have made two separate discoveries to shed more light on Biblical history. A U.S. team has found a bathtub (main image) inside a ruined mansion on Jerusalem's Mount Zion (top right), which could provide a glimpse of the life of a wealthy priest. They believe the house, built close to the walls of the Second Temple erected by King Herod, could have been home to one of Jesus' archenemies. In a separate expedition, British archaeologists think they have found the lost ancient town of Dalmanutha in Israel's Ginosar Valley (bottom right) which is mentioned in the Bible as the destination for Jesus after he is said to have performed one of his most famous miracles.
