Historian Myko Clelland shared the news about the mind-blowing discovery and it went viral on Twitter

歷史學(xué)家Myko Clelland分享了這一驚人發(fā)現(xiàn)的新聞，并在推特上瘋傳

Bored Panda contacted Myko Clelland, the historian who shared the news on Twitter, to ask him about the importance of this mosaic. Although discoveries like this occur more often than you might imagine, Myko said that “it’s rare to find something in such good condition and so complete.” “Usually,” he continued, “man and nature have taken their course and parts may be missing or damaged.”

Bored Panda聯(lián)系了在Twitter上分享這一消息的歷史學(xué)家Myko Clelland，詢問他這幅鑲嵌畫的重要性。盡管像這樣的發(fā)現(xiàn)比你想象的要多，但是Myko說(shuō):“很少有發(fā)現(xiàn)像這樣完好無(wú)缺的。”“通常情況下，”他繼續(xù)說(shuō)，“人類和自然各走各的路，某些部分可能會(huì)丟失或損壞。”

The uncovering of the mosaic work was done by the Soprintendenza di Verona, an organization “who have been tirelessly working to showcase some of the most tantalizing remnants of the ancient past in the area.” Myko said that he’s got a family in Verona “who showed me what they were working on and how magnificent what they have discovered is, and I just had to share it with the world—they deserve all the credit.”

發(fā)現(xiàn)鑲嵌畫的工作是由Soprintendenza di Verona完成的，該組織“一直在不知疲倦地工作，以展示該地區(qū)一些最誘人的古代遺跡”。Myko說(shuō)，他在維羅納有一個(gè)家庭，“他們向我展示了他們正在做的工作，以及他們的發(fā)現(xiàn)是多么的偉大，我不得不與全世界分享，他們應(yīng)該得到所有的榮譽(yù)。”
