It was located in the ancient port city of Gaza, then known as "Maiumas", currently the Rimal district of Gaza City.[1] HistoryIn 1965, Egyptian archaeologists discovered the site and announced they had uncovered a church.[2] Later a mosaic of King David wearing a crown and playing a lyre, labelled in Hebrew, was found. The mosaic was dated to 508-09 CE and measured {{convert|3|m|ft|sp=us}} high by {{convert|1.9|m|ft|sp=us}} wide.[3][4] It was originally described as depicting a female saint playing the harp.[5] The Egyptian archaeologists stated that the mosaic was in fact an Orpheus mosaic, a Greek god who was commonly associated with Christ or David and used in Byzantine art.[6] Shortly after the mosaic's discovery, the main figure's face was gouged out. When Israel captured the Gaza Strip in the 1967 Six-Day War, the mosaic was transferred to the Israel Museum for restoration.[6][7] The mosaic floor of the synagogue is on show at the Museum of the Good Samaritan, located on the Jerusalem-Jericho Road near Ma'ale Adumim.[8] References1. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=HQyxvmYV-50C&source=gbs_navlinks_s Ancient synagogues].
