1,500-Year-Old Mosaic Shows Map of Ancient Egyptian Settlement

A mosaic map of an ancient Egyptian settlement is going on display where it was found — in an industrial-park parking lot in Israel. The Israel Antiquities Authority announced today (Sept. 29) the first public display of the elaborate mosaic, which was discovered two years ago. This mosaic graced a church floor some 1,500 years ago, archaeologists said in a statement.
