This system is more complex than other pools of the same time."Interestingly, this swimming pool is in accordance with Jewish laws, such as collecting natural water without human contact, and ensuring that water is not leaked through the soil, because the pool is made from special gypsum , " Live Science quoted archaeologists as saying.
