מתחם ענק שהתגלה לאחרונה עשוי לשפוך אור על אופן ההכנה של עולי רגל יהודים להיכנס לבית המקדש

הערכה

A large complex near the Temple Mount has been uncovered, and its purpose appears tied to purification rituals for pilgrims. The scale of the site suggests organized preparation was a major logistical operation, not just a personal religious act. Watch for whether the excavators can link specific features like pools or storage to textual descriptions of pilgrimage procedures.
