In 2015, archaeologists discovered a 2,000-year-old pyramid-shaped staircase built of large ashlar stones on an ancient street in the City of David. Some scholars have suggested it might be the ancient Stone of Claims.[3] The podium was found on the main street leading from the Siloam Pool to the Temple Mount.[4]
