It’s amazing they announce this and they didn’t destroy it.

That’s a good job of stone knapping, it being in four pieces and all.

Isn’t it unusual to find such ornate decorative elements (the border, the petals, etc.) on a cross from the 4th century? I thought crosses from this time period, only shortly after Christianity was legalized across the Roman Empire, tend to be simple, unadorned objects.

but it was quietly abandoned around the eighth century

If by “quietly abandoned” you mean “massacred by muzzies”?

There were Christians and Jews pretty much throughout the middle east before the “rise of Islam”
