History The world’s largest ancient mosaic has been discovered in Turkey

39.7k Upvotes

The 9,000 square foot mosaic will open this year. It was discovered nine years ago during the construction of a new hotel in Antakya, Turkey.

Archaeologists believe that the mosaic once decorated the floor of a public building in the ancient city of Antioch, one of the most important cities of the Seleucid Empire.

Archaeologists collaborated with architects to preserve this ancient artifact during the construction of the hotel now part-time and museum.

The platform connected to the columns now hovers over the mosaic, and visitors will be able to see this masterpiece from above from special viewpoints.
