Scripture says nothing about John baptizing in a cave nor that there was any footwashing/annointing before nor after a baptism.
Perhaps this is a forerunner of the catacombs.
That makes more sense, alongside the scriptures.

Interesting, but the empty cave/tomb that has yet to be adequately explained is the empty tomb of Jesus of Nazareth. Only explanation that works and makes sense is physical bodily resurrection.
The Shroud of Turin, this cave, etc., are intriguing but the focal point and attention needs to be on Jesus, His death and resurrection.

""Unfortunately, we didn't find any inscriptions," said James Tabor,"
Unfortunate, indeed. Since bathing rituals were part of Old Testament Jewish life, especially for women, this seems rather suspicious to me. Somehow, I suspect there are many such sites.

My friend in high school had a mother who was a drunk, with a boyfriend who was a drunk.
One day, we were all hanging out at his house, drinking beer and watching football. Well, unexpectedly, Uncle Drunk (thats what we called the boyfriend) came home and started yelling at us for our underaged drinking.
He pointed to my friend Kenny and slurred, Whats your name?
John, said Kenny.
John who?
John The Baptist.
Well, how would you like it if I called your mother, John The Baptist?
This little story has nothing to do with anything, but I laugh every time I hear the name John the Baptist.

"Unfortunately, we didn't find any inscriptions," said James Tabor, a religious studies professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. HA! TAKE THAT CHAPEL HILL!
UNCC REPRESENT!

LOL! That reminds me of when my boyfriend in high school told his dad that he burned his neck while working on the muffler of his '56 Chevy. His dad started calling me "muffler"...

The discovery, if confirmed, would be among the most significant breakthroughs for biblical scholars in memory. Confirmed HOW? Apparition?

I think they're looking to find a tablet signed by John the Baptist that says "...and by the way, that whole leaping in the womb story is true, too."

The Garden Tomb has already been found, of course there are two of them...one that is traditionaly known as "the Tomb" so called named by the Catholic church, the other is a more likely tomb near Galgotha, which is more probable.
The Shroud is a fake, though it is a marvel, if it were Jesus's burial cloth, why wasn't an image revealed when Peter touched the cloth? Jesus didn't leave anything behind because he knew human nature. Man would worship articles instead of Him.
