The 9,000 square foot mosaic will open this year. It was discovered nine years ago during the construction of a new hotel in Antakya, Turkey.

Archaeologists believe that the mosaic once decorated the floor of a public building in the ancient city of Antioch, one of the most important cities of the Seleucid Empire.

Archaeologists collaborated with architects to preserve this ancient artifact during the construction of the hotel now part-time and museum.

The platform connected to the columns now hovers over the mosaic, and visitors will be able to see this masterpiece from above from special viewpoints.

My grandfather turned 100 years old today

My grandfather, Charles Edward Bird born February 14, 1925. He served his country in WWII in the US Army, participating in the Battle of the Bulge for more than 45 days, served in England, France, Holland, and Germany.

He did not get to graduate high school with his class due to being drafted - but he was able to graduate with my niece, his Great Granddaughter, this past May of 2024.

We live in a small town called Clay, WV. The commissioners of our county have proclaimed today as Charlie Bird day, in Clay county, WV.

Please join me, in wishing my papaw the best 100th birthday.
