The oldest Mosaic of the World

Contrary to what is believed, making mosaic did not develop first Ancient Greece or Rome, but in Ancient Iran, with its oldest specimen now preserved in the National Museum of Iran. This mosaic dating back to the third millennium BCE was unearthed in Shahdad in the Province of Kerman. It was discovered by the Iranian Archaeologist Ali Hakemi before the Islamic Revolution and taken to the National Museum. It is now on display for the occasion of the registration of the Lut Desert on the World Heritage List for a month.
