Lod Mosaic foot impressions
#1
I couldnt see anything about this on the forum but thought it may be of interest, what particularly interests me apart from the lovely mosaic itself, is the discovery of the impression of the workers feet preserved in the underlying layers and the many different foot sizes, clearly a job for all ages...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867

Wow! The mosaics are astonishing, and the footprints are just icing on the cake.

Spectacular is certainly the word!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
