Archaeologists uncover well-preserved 1,500-year-old Georgian church mosaic in Israel

The mosaic floor features a Greek inscription indicating the year of the church's construction and dedicating the building to a prominent bishop in the sixth century.
"[By the grace of God (or Jesus)], this work was done from the foundation under Procopius, our most saintly and most holy bishop, in the month Dios of the 3rd indiction, year 292," the inscription stated.
According to Dr. Leah Di Segni, of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the date on the inscription corresponds to the year 539 A.D., making it the earliest known appearance of the use of the Georgian calendar in Israel.
