There are three stories about mummies in Egypt, plus a bunch of Roman finds in Britain and whatnot, as well as New World finds, not sure I'll get to them.

Is that one of the mosaics?
That is a pretty awesome survivor if it is. That isn’t a reproduction?

In the original the graphic was scaled down, but I didn’t know until I previewed, then it was huge, which was nice, because it’s very colorful and has a bunch of portraits, as you see. Had to scale it back down to 600 width.

It is a damn shame that Anatolia fell into the hands of the Turks. What treasures were there that we will never find, what magnificent peoples who were killed, raped, savaged and beheaded until Turks subdued the entire place. If Christians had their sh*# together back then, it never would have happened.

Even as small as it is, it looks very detailed. I am very impressed by that.

The archeologists dug the earth, as well as the acclaim they received.

Still curious:
Where are these mosaics? A public space or private home/house? The article mentions some carved rock houses and, oh yeah!..we also found these mosaics...It sounds like they are in different places.
What is their age?
Wonder what the 3rd one looks like?
All of this is neater than sliced bread....
