Talk:Zodiac mosaics in ancient synagogues
Photos removed[edit]
Lots of grave issues.
-
Different calendar, different zodiac from Gezer -
-
Maon Synagogue with large lion, menorah, caged bird, palm trees -
This Usha mosaic may have been bleached by time
Gezer: 1) OR (original research). 2) Hard to see any connection. 3) Read up: at least one - possibly inspired by zodiac iconography, but not a zodiac wheel per se. 4) Photo probably a copyright infringement: encyclopedia pages with recent layout, even if photos are old. Should probably be removed from Commons.
Beit Shean: 1) OR. What's the connection? 2) Did the Israel Museum allow publication?
Maon: What's the connection? Thre are plenty of nice synagogue mosaics w/o zodiacs, why this one? AND a poor photo, too.
Usha: 1) OR. What's the connection? 2) This isn't even from the Usha synagogue. 3) "mosaic may have been bleached by time": no such thing. White tesserae. Serious case of imagination in the wrongest possible place. Arminden (talk) 22:26, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Also removed bafgling, unexplained "caption":
- "Many Beth Alpha attendees wouldn't have been able to read this Hebrew."
- Why? It's Wiki, not a riddle contest. Arminden (talk) 22:48, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
