Gaza synagogue
The ancient synagogue of Gaza was built in 508 AD during the Byzantine period and was discovered in 1965. It was located in the ancient port city of Gaza, then known as "Maiumas", currently the Rimal district of Gaza City.〔(''Ancient synagogues'' ). Dan Urman, Paul Virgil McCracken Flesher. pg. 368.〕
==History==
In 1965, Egyptian archaeologists discovered the site and announced they had uncovered a church.〔Connie Kestenbaum Green. (King David’s Head from Gaza Synagogue Restored ), ''Biblical Archaeology Review Magazine'' (Mar/Apr 1994).〕 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 high by wide.〔(''Ancient synagogues'' ). Dan Urman, Paul Virgil McCracken Flesher. p.73.〕〔Geoffrey W. Bromiley. (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia: E-J ), p. 418.〕 It was originally described as depicting a female saint playing the harp.〔(King David’s Head from Gaza Synagogue Restored )〕 The Egyptian archaeologists stated that the mosaic was in fact a depiction of Orpheus, a Greek mythological figure who was commonly associated with David and used in Byzantine art.〔(Israel Museum )〕 Shortly after the mosaic's discovery, David'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.〔〔(The Arab Campaign to Destroy Israel ), ''American Jewish Committee''〕
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.〔(Mosaic museum opens in the West Bank )〕
