In 2004, sewer workers near the City of David broke through to a stone step. Excavations revealed a massive pool from the late Second Temple period, stepped on three sides — the Pool of Siloam where Jesus told the man born blind to wash. Coins from the time of Alexander Jannaeus and from the Jewish Revolt date the pool to roughly 100 BC through 70 AD, exactly the era of the Gospels.
Why this matters
A specific Gospel location that pilgrims and skeptics couldn't find for 1,900 years, now recovered. Confirms John 9 placed Jesus at a real pool with a real geography that matched the era he lived.
