Ritual bath

The Essenes paid great attention to purity and ritual bathing. The ritual baths were constructed according to Jewish religious laws: the structure was built in the rock and not above it, to be in direct contact with the ground. The water should flow, undrawn, into the pool. The amount of water must be at least 1 cubic meter, 1.2M high, and the walls must be plastered.
