Archaeological research reveals what medieval villages in Flanders looked like | VRT NWS: news

A residential area surrounded by a moat, which developed in the centre of the town of Denderleeuw (East Flanders) in the 10th century, shaped the village’s appearance well into the 19th century research carried out by archaeologists near the local church has revealed. ‘It teaches us a lot about what the villages in the southern part of East Flanders used to look like. They were clusters, rather than the continuous built-up areas we know today.’

This magnificent mosaic, with intricate geometric and figural designs crafted from thousands of small stone tesserae, was found during the construction of the Antakya Museum Hotel in Türkiye.

Measuring 9,000 square feet, it is the largest intact mosaic ever excavated.
The mosaic once graced the floor of a large public building in ancient Antioch.
Two earthquakes (526 AD and 528 AD) rippled the mosaic causing the fluctuations in the floor.
