Bet Shemesh, Israel. 20th December, 2017. Archaeologists and workers of the Israel Antiquities Authority continue to uncover more remains of a Byzantine Period 1, 500 year old monastery and church decorated with mosaic floors and imported marble elements uncovered in Bet Shemesh. Discovered are remains of walls built of large worked stone masonry and a marble pillar base decorated with crosses. The marble artifacts were probably imported from the region of Turkey as no known sources of marble existed in the region. A mosaic floor is decorated with birds, leafs, and pomegranates outstandingly preserved.
