Salman al-Nabahin unearthed the relic six months ago while working in his olive orchard in the Bureij refugee camp, about a kilometer from the border with Israel.Ibrahim Dahman/CNN
Trying to figure out why some trees had not properly taken root, Nabahin said he and his son began digging. Then his son's ax hit something hard and unfamiliar in appearance. "I searched on the internet ... We learnt it was mosaic belonging to the Byzantine era," said the father-of-seven, sitting next to his discovery."I see it as a treasure, dearer than a treasure. It isn't personal, it belongs to every Palestinian."Credit:The Palestinian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said the flooring included several mosaic panels depicting animals and other features of social life during the Byzantine era.
Gaza is rich with antiquities, having been an important trading spot for civilizations dating as far back as the ancient Egyptians and the Philistines depicted in the Bible, through to the Roman empire and the Crusades. Several discoveries have been made in recent years. But due to a lack of funds and relevant professionals, Gaza has usually invited international groups to help with the process of excavation and preservation.
Looks like someone is no longer a farmer 💰💰
Land of Israel. Kind of birds God sent to them during the exodus.
Wait until he finds out it has nothing to do with palestinians.
Muhammad Qasim has seen in many dreams exactly how Islam and Muslim Ummah will rise again in the entire world. This is also present in many hadiths of Prophet Muhammad SAW, and predictions made by popular Islamic Muftis. Many people are saying he is Mahdi.
Death to Israel. ☠️

Byzantine? You think it would be buried that much in 1000 years? Cmon man. It’s antediluvian.
Iran regime is killing innocent people on the streets, cut off the internet and killing people in silence. It doesn’t matter you are not Iranian, if you believe in human_rights please please be our voice Mahsa_Amini
They could have called the Turkish archeologists to make a better evaluation about the mosaics discovered instead of the French archeologists whom voted together for the Armenian genocide tale..This is really interesting that they are willing to work with them. weird a lot
This is completely epic. Wow!
Cool.
Romans were true artists
How beautiful! Lucky farmer!
Be sure, soon there will be an israeli settlement, washing this heritage away. Together with the farmer and his family.
✨
I just hope they can save it.
The home decor videos would rip this out and put in vinyl plank flooring.
That's amazing
A Palestinian historical treasure
Wow!
Poor
I guess it’s really not Palestinian land after all
I hope Israel take control soon coz that boy SITTING on that mosaic is just hard to watch.
Do t tell the Israeli settlers they’ll soon have you out of there
