Archaeological excavations in Antakya, Turkey have turned up the largest floor mosaic at 9,000 square feet.

In Zeugma, Türkiye, not far from the Syrian border, a team of archaeologists, headed by none other than Professor Kutalmış Görkay from the University of Ankara, has uncovered a treasure trove of three ancient Greek mosaics that date back to the 2nd century BC.
