Ministry of Culture and TourismArchaeologists found a rare mosaic depiction of the river god Young Eurymedon among the ancient ruins of Aspendos in Turkey.During excavations at the ruins of Aspendos, an ancient city in southern Turkey, archaeologists discovered a two-panel mosaic floor that dates back to approximately the third century C.E.While one panel displays beautiful geometric decorations, the second one caught the archaeologists eyes for its rare depiction of Young Eurymedon, a god that served as the embodiment of the Eurymedon River, which was crucially important to the ancient city of Aspendos.The 1,800-Year-Old Mosaic Of A River God Uncovered In Southern TurkeyMinistry of Culture and TourismThe river god Young Eurymedon was the embodiment of the Eurymedon River.One mosaic panel features the Anatolian river god Young Eurymedon, named for the river (known in Turkey today as the Kpray River) that gave the ancient city life.Young Eurymedon is depicted wearing a crown of reed leaves and leaning on an amphora an ancient two-handled vessel thats spilling water. The panel also features fish and tall plants behind him, emphasizing the gods connection to nature, water, and fertility.The work quickly struck experts as being notable for its craftsmanship, as it features small tesserae, intricately cut and placed to create fluid color transitions in the tilework.This two-panel mosaic dates back to third century C.E.The mosaics were uncovered on Theater Street, the route that connects Aspendos ancient acropolis to its Roman theater, one of the most well-preserved ancient venues in the world.Archaeologists believe that these mosaic floors are part of a partially-uncovered ancient structure in Aspendos East Square area, between the central square and the eastern city walls. Experts suspect that the entire structure spans an area of about 20 feet by 82 feet, while so far, theyve only excavated a patch thats roughly 20 feet by 25 feet.Researchers think that the overarching structure was likely built as a pool in the early third century C.E. Following the earthquake of 262 C.E., the structure seems to have been sectioned into smaller, sturdier areas with internal walls, a theory that helps illuminate how the city of Aspendos responded to the major disaster that devastated the nearby ancient city of Ephesus.How This Roman-Era Mosaic Discovery Sheds New Light On Ancient Anatolian ArtMehmet Nuri Ersoy, the Turkish Minister of Culture and Tourism, said that this is one of the rarest depictions of a river god in mosaic art, and that this discovery not only reveals the artistic richness of Aspendos but also provides important scientific data on Roman-era Anatolian mosaic art.Ministry of Culture and TourismThe river god Young Eurymedon symbolized fertility and life to the people of ancient Aspendos.Many other Roman-era relics have been found in Turkey in recent years. In late 2023, a farmer discovered a massive third or fourth century C.E. mosaic under his land while planting trees in the Turkish city of Kayseri. Soon after that, archaeologists found a luxurious Roman bathhouse nearby in the village of Salkaya.Major discoveries have also occurred in Aspendos specifically. Last year, archaeologists in Aspendos discovered a statue depicting the Greek god Hermes with a ram, an ancient Greek symbol of strength and courage, at his feet.The team also unearthed marble heads of the goddesses Aphrodite and Eros, in addition to fragments of statues of Artemis and Nemesis. The team dated these finds to somewhere between the second and third century C.E.That discovery was part of the Ministry of Culture and Tourisms Heritage to the Future Project, which dedicated $33.4 million to uncovering and preserving Turkeys ancient history.While these finds are also important to understanding ancient Aspendos, the discovery of the river god mosaic is especially meaningful due to its illustration of the unique values of the city.The historical region of Anatolia was a key agricultural center that placed great value on symbols of fertility like Young Eurymedon. And as an ancient city that relied on farming, Aspendos depended on ample supplies of water in order to thrive. For instance, the citys ruins contain the remains of a major 11.8-mile aqueduct system, one of the most complex Roman hydraulic systems ever uncovered. And now, this new mosaic discovery has only added to the list of archaeological treasures found among the storied ruins of ancient Aspendos.After reading about the rare mosaic of a river god found in Turkey, discover the massive mosaic found by a farmer in Turkey. Then, learn all about the gods of ancient Greece and Rome.The post An 1,800-Year-Old Roman Mosaic Depicting A River God Surrounded By Fish And Reeds Was Just Unearthed In Turkey appeared first on All That's Interesting.

Google MapsHotel Apache has a reputation for alleged paranormal encounters.A woman says she accidentally booked one of the most haunted hotels in Las Vegas, Hotel Apache and Binions Gambling Hall. She was a good sport about the whole thing, even asking for the worst room you got upon finding out about the haunted lore. One might think that a ghostly encounter would be terrifying. For some thrill-seekers, the scare is the point and theyll travel to the ends of the Earth to increase their chances of finding it. A 2025 YouGov poll found that around 60 percent of Americans claim to have had at least one paranormal experience. While the number of people who say theyve seen a ghost is smaller, its still significant. The same poll found that 16 percent of respondents claimed theyd encountered a ghost or spirit, while 17 percent alleged theyd witnessed an object move without explanation.The majority of the time, these encounters are perceived by those who experience them as either neutral or, surprisingly, positive. That may be why a 2024 survey from Chapman University found that, even though many Americans believe in ghosts, only around 10 percent actually fear them.In fact, some people are so unafraid of ghosts that theyll stay in a hotel thats rumored to be filled with them.Rumors Of Ghosts At Hotel ApacheIn a video with over 63,000 views, TikTok user Rebecca Paige Caplinger (@sidebarwithbec) details her stay at Hotel Apache and Binions Gambling Hall.As shown in Caplingers video, the hotel is proud of its allegedly haunted status, even showing off a large display of apparent ghostly encounters near its entryway.Thankfully, Caplinger is a fan of ghosts so much so that she says she asked the hotel for the worst room you got.You know what? I got nothing else to lose. I want to spice up my life, she says in the video.Bob n Renee/Wikimedia CommonsA guest room at Hotel Apache.Immediately, things felt off. Caplinger says parts of the room carried a sinister energy and that an orb was visible on her camera recording.Caplinger then read of several incidents that allegedly occurred in her room, provided to her in a brochure upon check-in. One simply involved a man becoming dizzy and nauseous; another claimed that guests used a spirit box to contact a woman who said she was choked in the bathtub.Caplinger detailed to All Thats Interesting how exactly she unintentionally booked the haunted hotel. She said she was in Las Vegas for a mix of business and pleasure and that she reserved her room through a third-party travel site that didnt mention anything about its haunted reputation.However, due to Caplingers interest in the paranormal, she didnt mind.I went into the experience with an open mind. Before I started filming, I spoke positive intentions into the room and asked for protection, believing that if there were any spirits present, they might simply be looking for genuine interaction, shared Caplinger, who said she grew up in a house that may have been haunted.@sidebarwithbec/TikTokRebecca Paige Caplinger didnt realize that shed booked a room at a Las Vegas hotel infamous for its alleged hauntings.She also shared one of the strangest moments that happened to her during her stay.I was checking the window and discovered that it had been unbolted, providing direct access to the roof. There was no way to lock it from inside the room. That immediately felt off, so I called hotel security, and they came up right away and re-bolted the window, Caplinger said. What stood out to me was that I felt strongly compelled to check the window in the first place. Once it was secured, the energy in the room seemed to shift dramatically.Of course, Caplinger is far from the only person whos had a haunted hotel experience.A Brief History Of Haunted HotelsWhile haunted hotels have been around for a long time, the haunted hotel industry i.e., tourists intentionally staying in hotels they believe to be haunted is a relatively recent phenomenon.Ghost tourism has existed in one form or another for hundreds of years. The Spiritualist movement of the mid-19th century resulted in curious onlookers paying to witness what they believed to be mediums communicating with the dead. Many in attendance came not to experience it as a religious revelation but as entertainment.Public DomainThe Fox sisters of Rochester, New York, are credited with popularizing modern Spiritualism.In the years since, the idea of a haunted house has become more recognized in popular culture. Legends surrounding destinations like the Winchester Mystery House and Irelands Loftus Hall became known far and wide, encouraging thrill-seekers across the globe to visit these haunted places and report back on their experiences.Over time, this birthed a formal industry of dark tourism. In 1973, the first regular ghost tour was established in York, England. As movies like The Shining, Poltergeist, and The Exorcist became cultural touchstones, a growing number of people sought out haunted stays and hotels were happy to accommodate them.Soon, places like Hotel Apache were accepting guests not in spite of their apparent fear factor but because of it.What Makes Hotel Apache So Haunted?So, why does the Hotel Apache claim that its haunted? Did anything spooky ever happen there?As with many Las Vegas hotels, there are stories about shady goings-on throughout the buildings history including multiple murder accusations related to its former owner, Benny Binion.Employees have reported being mysteriously touched or nudged and seeing figures. Additionally, ghost hunters have recorded high readings on EMF meters and motion sensors, while mediums claim to have seen visions of former owners family members.University of Nevada at Las Vegas Special Collections on the World Series of PokerLas Vegas casino mogul Benny Binion with his daughter, Becky, circa 1969.In an email, Binions social media coordinator Taylor Echeita explained to All Thats Interesting, Hotel Apache has been open since 1932, and over the years both guests and employees have shared stories of Haunted Encounters. However, there is no specific event or moment that can be identified as the origin of the hotels haunted reputation.Echeita further added, Haunted Encounters occur throughout the entire hotel, but noted that we cannot guarantee any guest will have a supernatural experience.At the end of the day, Caplinger enjoyed her time at Hotel Apache and would absolutely return for another visit.
