A 2,000-year-old ritual bath (mikveh) was discovered recently in Jerusalem’s Western Wall tunnels. It was found inside a building containing three halls dating back to the Second Temple period, not far from the Western Wall. According to the Israel Antiquities Authority, this may be the bureau in which the Sanhedrin, the Jewish high court at the time of the Second Temple, would convene.
