Greatest Find Since the Dead Sea Scrolls




The so-called Megiddo Mosaic from the Holy Land is on display at the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC from November 13 through July 2025.

The museum believes it is the earliest known inscription that identifies Jesus Christ as God.

The mosaic was discovered in 2005 on the grounds of a local prison that was seeking to expand. It covered the floor of an early Christian chapel, dating from around 230.

Greek inscriptions appear in the mosaic along with many decorative and figural motifs, such as fish. The inscriptions honor seven people, five of them women, for their beneficial roles in the local church. They also proclaim "God Jesus Christ".

At the opening of the exhibit, the museum director Carlos Campo called the mosaic the greatest discovery since the Dead Sea Scrolls.
