Just as the “Gypsy Girl (Maeaned)” mosaic has become the symbol of Gaziantep, “the skeleton mosaic” seems likely to become the symbol of Hatay. The mosaic has become an extraordinary issue in Turkey and around the world.
Archaeologist Bülent Demir unearthed the skeleton mosaic in 2013 during the construction of a teleferic in the İplik Pazarı area. Since then, I have seen “accurate or inaccurate” articles about this mosaic. I don’t know if the excavation team said something wrong or the media got it wrong, but the mosaic does not date back to the Hellenistic era in the third century B.C. Instead, it hails from the Roman era in the third century A.D.
