This week we have 3 news stories about art in the ancient world. First up, 10 years of excavating a synagogue in Israel has revealed stunning floor mosaics. Then, we head to everyone’s favorited ancient city, Pompeii, where spectacular frescos were uncovered in a residence. And finally, rock carvings in Peru may depict people singing or dancing while hallucinating.
