According to reports, the local farmer Nabahin found this relic during the olive orchard six months ago, about 1 kilometer from the Israeli border.

Naba Xin said that in order to figure out why some trees did not grow up, he and his son began to dig land and found these hard things.

"I searched online ... We know that this is the mosaic of the Byzantine era." Nabasin said, "I regard it as a treasure, more precious than a treasure. It belongs to every Palestinian."

The Byzantine Empire began in 395 AD and finally 1453. The Palestinian Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Relics stated that the screens on the floor depict the various types of animals and other social life characteristics of the Byzantine era.

The official said in a statement: "Archaeological discovery is still in the early stages, we wait to learn more secrets and civilized value." "The national research team is working with international experts and scientists from the French Archaeological Institute."

The mosaic as a decorative material was first found on the wall of the Soviet Temple, and archeological discovery was the most mosaic in ancient Greece. At that time, the mosaic was used as a luxury art. In the ancient Roman period, mosaics have developed more common.
