BYU team unearths significant discoveries in Galilee

A BYU professor and a recent BYU graduate helped uncover a unique pair of mosaics at a synagogue excavation in Galilee. The mosaics decorate the floor of a fifth-century synagogue in the ancient village of Huqoq in Israel’s Lower Galilee. One of these mosaics depicts Samson carrying the gates of Gaza, and it comes one year after a separate Samson mosaic was uncovered at the same location.
