A cave in Jerusalem's western hills might have once been a divine prophecy site where Roman-era gentiles attempted to communicate with the dead.Three skulls and more than 100 ceramic lamps were found squeezed into the cave's crevices, and two archaeologists in Israel speculate in a new paper that these were likely used to conjure up dead spirits and their secrets – a practice known as necromancy.The Te'omim Cave has been studied since 1873, and experts have long suspected that the spring water that flows through the…
