AND LAST OF ALL...
This mosaic was found on the floor of a 6th century church in Jordan. It shows a road going down the middle of Jerusalem. For centuries, no one knew if the road actually existed, until some one tried to do some plumbing repairs in his apartment. Some of the tile floor fell through! He called the authorities and they discovered the Cardo!
Some of the columns had quite a bit broken off. Artists painted a mural on a walled up part to show what the market street might have looked like.
This photograph, taken from further back, showed some taller pillars.
The innocents 'playing in the street' captivated our attention!
Before too long we circled back around toward the parking lot and drove away from Jerusalem.
