In the Israeli desert, they found a luxurious mansion next to a mosque, which is more than 1.2 thousand years old.

In the south of the Negev desert, archaeologists have found a luxurious mansion 1.2 thousand years old. The building had four wings with rooms. One of them was decorated with a marble corridor with a stone floor and decor on the walls. Next to the building was a courtyard. During excavations, scientists found ancient artifacts, including fragments of exquisite glassware. Cellars were built under the courtyard - it was cooler underground than in the desert. Among other things, there was a cistern with drinking water. The wealthy owners of the mansion used it as a residence and reception room for guests. Most likely, a local ruler lived in the house.
