Rare mosaics displayed in ancient Palace
(15 Nov 2019) LEAD IN:
Qasr Libya is a town famous for its Byzantine ruins and stunning mosaic floors.
A museum was opened in the 1970s to show off these mosaics, which are considered among the greatest artistic treasures of Libya.
STORY-LINE:
This fortress has stood the test of time.
Its huge walls and towering circular watchtowers give a 360-degree view of the region of Al-Jebel Akhdar or the Green Mountain.
Situated in Qasr Libya (Palace of Libya) - or Olbia or Theodorias as it was known in ancient times - this archaeological town is located to the north of the small town of Bayd and about 150 km (93 miles) east of Benghazi.
The city was known by various names throughout history. It was known as the city of Olbia in the fifth century, the name from which the current name of the city is derived, the Palace of Libya, but there are also indications that the city was known as Theodorias after the wife of Emperor Justinian, who ruled the Byzantine Empire from 525 to 565 AD, explains the Head of the Department of Archaeology and Tourism at the Faculty of Arts in Benghazi University, Dr Ahmed Saad.
The town is known for its Byzantine ruins: the first Byzantine mosaic was discovered in 1957 when a worker found a piece by chance.
When the area studied afterwards by a French professor and a team from the Libyan Antiquities Authority, they found a whole floor of the mosaic containing 50 plates, all intact.
Two churches were identified in the area, the first one is the Eastern Church which was discovered in 1957, and the second is the Western Church, which was discovered in 1964.
It's one of the very rare churches in the North African region in general. The Western Church is a church built as a fortress as well perhaps, says Saad.
In 1972, a small archaeological museum was opened near the Western Church, known as the Byzantine Mosaic Museum.
The small museum displays mosaic floor pieces that belong to the western church, including a rare mosaic piece that shows the shape of the Alexandria lighthouse, one of the seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
There are about 50 square mosaic panels, dimensions 65 x 65 cm (25.5 x 25.5 inch), containing a variety of subjects including architecture, myths, animals, humans, engineering and marine life.
The floor mosaics are considered among the greatest artistic treasures of Libya.
There is also a mosaic painting, number 23, in which it stated that bishop Makarios in the third year in his work as a bishop of the city established this church, and this gave us a very accurate history of the founding of the church, we know that bishop Makarios in his third year of his work it was between 538 and 539 AD.
The excavators were convinced that there were more churches in the neighbourhood, but so far, they have not been excavated.

STORYLINE:
Libyans loyal to Moammar Gadhafi on Sunday put on a defiant show of force in a mountain gateway town that has become a key battleground in the fight to oust the longtime leader.
Government officials took foreign media to Gharyan where they were shown armed civilians shooting in the air and government troops vowing to defend their land.
Gharyan is the last mountain town along a highway that leads straight to the capital Tripoli, just 50 miles (80 kilometres) to the north and lies down a mountain road not far from a village rebels said they seized last week.
A small group of women practiced to fire automatic rifles and unloaded grenade launchers.
They were far outnumbered by visiting journalists.
We are being trained with weapons to learn to defend ourselves, our country and our leader, one of them said.
Tripoli-based foreign journalists are routinely accompanied by government minders whose presence makes it difficult for people to speak freely.
Gharyan lies in the Nafusa mountains southwest of Tripoli and is strategically important as small bands of rebel fighters have inched closer to the capital by seizing villages along major roads.
Forces loyal to Gadhafi are also battling rebels on two major front lines to the east of the capital, but neither side has been able to mount a major push.

Libya: Gaddafi's son could be hiding in north-eastern Libya - reports
According to rumours circulating on Thursday, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, a son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, is allegedly currently hiding in the north-eastern Libyan city of al-Bayda, following his release from prison.
Local residents said that if the rumours were true, they would be fine with Said al-Islam being in their hometown, and that they support him since he is free by law and he is not condemned with any crime. And for this reason, they believe that it's his right to be anywhere in Libya like any other Libyan citizen.
Local media report that Saif al-Islam's mother Safia arrived in al-Bayda some months ago and that his uncles are living in the city as well.
SOT, local resident (Arabic): Of course we are with Said al-Islam, since he is free by law and he is not condemned with any crime. And it's his right to be anywhere in Libya like any other Libyan citizen.
SOT, local resident (Arabic): Regarding Saif al-Islam, he is a Libyan citizen. If it was confirmed that he committed a blood crime of financial crimes against Libyan people, there is a law and judicature to decide in this matter. And as for me, as a Libyan citizen, I am ok with him being set free.
SOT, local resident (Arabic): As I have said in the beginning, if he was condemned by law for any crime, he will be prosecuted fairly.

Libya (Arabic: ليبيا ), is a country in North Africa. In the north it has a Mediterranean Sea coast, with Egypt to the east and Tunisia to the west. It also has land borders with Algeria, Chad, Niger and Sudan. More than 90% of the country is desert or semi desert. Archaeological evidence indicates that from as early as 8,000 BC, the coastal plain of Ancient Libya was inhabited by a Neolithic people, the Berbers, who were skilled in the domestication of cattle and the cultivation of crops.
Within Libya as many as five different climatic zones have been recognized, but the dominant climatic influences are Mediterranean and Saharan. In most of the coastal lowland, the climate is Mediterranean, with warm summers and mild winters. Rainfall is scanty. The weather is cooler in the highlands, and frosts occur at maximum elevations. In the desert interior the climate has very hot summers and extreme diurnal temperature ranges.
Regions & Cities of Libya :
Cyrenaica (Benghazi, Shahhat, Tobruk)

Saharan Libya (Gaberoun, Ghadamis, Sabha, Ghat)
huge southern desert region with amazing scenery and some of the hottest temperatures recorded anywhere in the world

In Tripoli, it is surprisingly hard to find a traditional Libyan restaurant. Most serve western-style cuisine, with a few Moroccan and Lebanese restaurants thrown in. There are also a number of good Turkish restaurants, and some of the best coffee and gelato outside of Italy. There are some wonderful Libyan dishes you should taste in case you are fortunate enough to be invited to a Libyan dinner party or wedding (be prepared to be overfed!). A favourite cafe for the local expatriate community is the fish restaurant in the souq. For the equivalent of a few US dollars, you can enjoy a great seafood couscous. A local speciality is the stuffed calamari.
Major cities have a range of accommodations available, from shabby hotels to 4 star establishments. Prices vary accordingly. While it seems to be diminishing with the arrival of more tourists every year, Libyans have a strong tradition of taking travellers into their own homes and lavishing hospitality on them. This is certainly true in smaller towns and villages.
Libya is an ancient crossroads of civilisations that bequeathed to the Libyan coast some of the finest Roman and Greek ruins in existence, among them Leptis Magna, Cyrene and Sabratha. Libya also has some of the most beautiful corners of the Sahara Desert, from seas of sand the size of Switzerland and sheltering palm-fringed lakes (the Ubari Sand Sea) to remote massifs adorned with prehistoric rock art (the Jebel Acacus), labyrinthine caravan towns (Ghadames) and an isolated black-as-black volcano (Wawa al-Namus) in the desert's heart.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
