In 2005 AD a Şanlıurfa public works project revealed a very large ancient Roman Villa with beautiful mosaics which depict Greek mythology. The project was halted and this area is now a museum. These wonderful mosaics include a depiction of the life of Achilles and ancient Amazon Warrior Princesses. The museum also holds a piece called "Orpheus Taming Wild Animals," which was from 195 AD and returned to Türkiye from the U.S.in 2010. The museum also has many mosaics from the Byzantine era.
I tour the museum with my fascinating guide Taha Ozyavuz. I did not record every moment of the tour, there was much much more information from Taha.

I would highly recommend my wonderful guide for this amazing region of the world, Taha Ozyavuz. He is very knowledgeable, kind and, as a bonus, has a great sense of humor. His family has lived in this area for over 350 years.
