Ancient Artisans' Footprints Discovered Beneath Lod Mosaic

The ancient footprints of the artisans who built a stunning 1,700-year-old mosaic floor in Lod were discovered recently, when conservators from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) were in the process of detaching the huge work of art from the ground. As the conservation experts worked on the plaster bedding to be done before detaching the mosaic, they were surprised to notice there were ancient foot and sandal prints beneath it. Clearly, the builders that had worked on the floor sometimes wore their sandals, and sometimes worked in their bare feet...

Very interesting; thank you for posting this. I hadn’t realized the proportions until I saw the video at http://habayitah.blogspot.com/2009/07/antique-lod-mosaic-to-exhibited.html

God's blessed me with a pretty good imagination, and I have often felt a connection with the past because of certain influences.

Study an old victorian home or funeral home. Look at the gingerbread under the eaves .... each one was coped by a master carpenter who knew nothing about power tools.

stuff like that
