Israeli archaeologists unveiled an ancient Roman floor mosaic, one of the largest and best preserved ever found in the country. It is being displayed for only the second time since it was discovered in 1996. The mosaic is made up of more than 2 million small stones and covered with detailed pictures and geometric shapes.
The little that is shown of this work is phenomenal, I hope I can locate a picture of the entire piece.
The link also takes you to 39 photos of other recent finds that include the ruins of a Peruvian city from around 600 A.D., a 35,000 yr. old flute flute made from Vulture bone and a prehistoric axe head that maybe 1.8 million years old.
