World's oldest synagogue paintings found intact in Damascus

World's oldest synagogue paintings, believed lost during war, have been found intact in Damascus. The 1,700-year-old frescoes from Dura Europos synagogue, preserved in a replica at Syria's National Museum, were viewed by a Jewish delegation for the first time in decades. These biblical paintings, excavated in the 1930s, were protected by earth and later moved to the museum, surviving years of conflict.
