Description
The ongoing excavations of the seven churches in the decapolis city of Hippos/Sussita has revealed that in the largest church, no doubt the seat of the bishop, there were two separate baptismal areas. At one of them they found a block of marble with three cup-shaped depressions that appear to have been for holding anointing oils. Also included in this discussion, the latest discoveries related to Rujm el-Hiri, ancient stone circles in the Golan.
