MOUNT NEBO - Inside the chapel in what is called the "Old Baptistry," we found the most interesting of the mosaics. Four rows of human and animal figures (bears, ostriches, lions, and in the lower right, either a spotted camel or a strange looking giraffe) have led scholars to a variety of interpretations. No one really knows the true meaning of the mosaic, which was found when another mosaic on top was removed. Researchers now believe there is yet another mosaic beneath this one.
