Can you confirm what is the sculptured art on the altar and other areas in the synagogue please? Pomegranates? The mosaic tiles the tessellation looks similar to the swastika often thought to originate in Indo-European art. Confluence of cultures in Sardis? I have visited Ephesus, Collossae, Hieropolis and the Hagia Sophia and they were all real peak experiences, loved it. More please.
