An ancient structure uncovered in Jerusalem's City of David is believed to have been used for ritual practices during the time of the First Temple, according to a new study. The structure contained eight rooms with various features, including an altar, a standing stone, an oil press, and a wine press. The study suggests that the structure dates back to the First Temple period and was used for cultic or religious practices. It is the only known structure of its kind from that period in Jerusalem and one of only a few found in Israel.
