This was a few years ago, but if you missed it, an exciting discovery was made in the ruins of Lachish in ancient Israel. While there is some debate among archaeologists, it is very likely an altar or “high place”, inside a room of the city’s gate, that King Hezekiah had turned into a toilet. Read more about the discovery from these articles:
