Archeologists and bible scholars said Tuesday that an ancient bathhouse uncovered beneath a Nazareth souvenir shop dates only to Crusader times and is not a Roman bath that may have been used by Jesus. The owner of the shop told the Associated Press that after buying the store, he began renovations and uncovered a vaulted and tiled room he believed Jesus might have bathed in.
