A “rare” mosaic depicting scenes of the Trojan War has been uncovered in Syria, archeologists said Wednesday.
The mosaic, believed to be 1,300-square-feet, is considered the most important archaeological discovery in Syria since the country’s conflict began 11 years ago, partially due to how intact and detailed it is.
The stunning Roman-era artwork is said to have been constructed 1,600 years ago in what may have been the floor of an ancient bathhouse, but further excavation and research needs to be conducted. Archeologists have only unearthed 65 feet of the mosaic but believe there is much more to find.

:^) That was a politically convenient claim, a supporting myth, written up in a poem funded by the regime. The Rome-bashing whackos who push various anachronistic myths didn't invent the practice. (^:

As in today’s Hollywood, ancient epic poets weren’t writing documentaries.

The characters are largely inventions (not necessarily the names, just everything they do), and the ten year duration was probably bogus, but Troy fell, and the rivers ran backwards.
