Archaeologists find ancient face in Revelation city

Archaeologists have discovered a 2,500-year-old marble statue of a young man in Sardis, an ancient city linked to the Bible's Book of Revelation. The statue, measuring about 7.2 feet tall, displays unique clothing of Lydian culture and was repurposed as paving during the Roman period, helping preserve its features. The find provides insights into the cultural and religious history of Sardis, a city once the capital of Lydia and later an important site in the early Christian church. The statue will be conserved and exhibited at the Manisa Museum in Turkey.
