Speaking as an artist, that has made mosaic images (and knows the process of production of materials and final images) - and also a tradesman that worked on many floor/wall tile finishing jobs,...I know - without a doubt - that i could replicate any one of those pieces to exactitude of color and detail - with only hand tools...and no lattice style gridworks Talented individuals can complete incredible pieces in just a few weeks the patterns can be used in "void space' (plain, uninhabited spaces in an image or picture) to occupy the gaze of an observer and also trick the mind into 'seeing' more detail than there is - there are actually whole classes one can take, under the umbrella of design theory, in many art specializations. also, the larger a design is the more feasible it is to include more detailed color and image quality in an image of this type - especially if the artist can manipulate the size of the pieces of his medium....smaller, chipped down and broken pieces, etc. AND, there are many ways to dye, and use pigments with many different substances and naturally occurring chemical compounds, to achieve ANY desired color or hue...more successfully mind you with ceramics - but also possible if working with glass. think of staining bone or pottery with tea or coffee. i would expect that the artists probably ran these jobs much like a contractor would today: run an image mockup (on paper/parchment) past the client...then make/color his materials in his shop (order the ones he was unable to) then schedule a period of time with the client's home.,,the polymers used are incredibly resilient (probly even more so if covered in dust and dirt, and undisturbed for several eons) and many of the polymers archeologists have found are - surprisingly - unexplainable, and technologically superior to modern day methods.

Staining and glazing on top of a moulded under structure. Staining allows for layering to create shadow and for highlights you can use cloth to pull off colour to make it lighter. Same method used in water colour painting or oil painting, using a solvent.
ancient mosaics are incredible - not impossible. They had generations of trained specialists that taught their children and grandchildren all the tricks of the trade.
There are savants that are so gifted they can envision an artistic expression and how to stage it with psychic precision. And I have a feeling the ancient peoples accessed more of their brain power to manifest visions of ingenuity and expression back then.
That was before the global flood,man did not leave in huts but modern architecture edifices and homes that cannot be replicated today. You can see fragments scattered all over the a world.
Hardware stores here in France sell them in 30cm squares held together with a floppy netting on the back, you'd lay a floor down in no time, all pre made in some factory somewhere, not very common, usually for a shower floor or sides.
Similar to stone walls without mortar... Man sees something, interprets it incorrectly, and tries to imitate it. But those structures were actually concrete walls. Great video, Mark.
I've been doing concrete for over 40 years and it does amaze me these Mosaic floors. But I don't put it past the ingenuity of man they did it a small portion at a time and had checks and balances during the operation
Boy this brings back memories when I was a wood floor layer,I hated the full spread glue floors.i worked with a Russian guy that did these mosaics. Extremely time consuming and extremely hard to lay out.. great presentation mark
I am glad you have an amazing mind. Having the imagination and capacity of mind to see beyond the obvious and what other insist must be is a gift I share. As someone who does things and not just thinks about them you readily discover the manner in which you might craft one object won't be same process you use to create it on a large scale. A simple example is one fisherman in a small boat with a rod and line compared to a large trawler ship using drag nets. Learning to ignore the noise and nonsense of other people and just trust in one's mind and think deeply and rationally is a lost art. Thanks again for all you do to bring truth forward for the FOLK .
Oooo my man, glad I found your channel.. Always knew older versions were not made out of stones etc and damn you've given me plenty of food for thought!... :)
Time , wear , sunlight , water , & fire , all combine to fade actual pieces of tile work . Were there "fakes" back then ? Sure ! Once the protection of a roof is gone , the elements do their damage . The cheaper the piece , the more easily damaged the work is . Remember , these people had the luxury of time & focus We do not . No tv or cellphones to distract them . Raw talent would be exalted , & hired non-stop by the wealthiest to have what no one else could afford . The worst of such arrangements , is when the owner keeps changing their mind about the final work . I have had that a number of times , & it ruins it for the artisan as it wastes time , money , & resources . Such real work would be a family trade . The real stuff would not be as common as the fakes , but would last far longer due to the quality of the artisan . If buried , they are preserved better , as they are protected from the elements . Excellent post Mark , as usual ! I like the notion of rollers on render , as that is most feasible .
My son's primary school did a project to make 4 large approx 2.5ft by 2.5ft mosaic panels depicting the seasons using small precut double sided tiles. Originally we, the parents, made it upside down onto a paper pattern predrawn by a local artist, in the same way that they repaired part of a large mosaic in the Vatican. Once dried the parts were then turned the right way up, connected together and any missing parts to be filled in, then set within the frames ready to be fixed to the wall, if it were for a floor the patterned parts would be done first in sections then the plain parts added around, some take months to create, hence why they are such an extravagance today. Also think most of those "excavated" are actually made in more modern time, real original old ones are made using thicker tiles, the tiles aren't as thin as they sometimes appear and those thin tiled ones I think are the modern "recreated" ones! It is more or less the same way micro mosaics are made, just scaled up and if you look up 'modern mosaic tiled floors' at Mosaics Lab, you can find some amazingly intricate designs still being done, but as I said before it takes a long time which makes it extremely expensive.
I was in the Old City in Jerusalem in March 2024 and saw the mosaics in the various churches. Definitely made of small pieces into cement/grout and the shading got me thinking it was all clay fired glazes. I picture a wooden vault (same as final installation) constructed to form the clay to, a scene "painted" then "broken" (cut and labeled before firing), then fired in batches. The final product emulating "stone" or glass, having the same thickness, and "fits" together in the space it's designed for. Still, a mindblowing effort to put it all together.
I think what they did was tie small tiles/beads together tightly like they were making a rug, and lay them flat in sections, tie those sections together to create a large mat. Then they laid down a cement or adhesive and put the mat on top, then applied pressure to seal the mat to the cement.
I wouldn't underestimate the artistic ability of the Romans, Persians and Greeks etc. i think they did it much like paint by numbers with the deaign sketched or imprinted into the substrate beforehand.
For sure....the thing your missing is scale...Well I suppose time n scale are closely linked...but I thought pre 20th century life was a constant battle you know ..needed farms crops foods for citys n worry bout wars n invaders n everything hectic but further you go back...seems they made everything the hardest way possible really spent all this time so how they have all this time then skip too victorian times when lucky too afford a pencil its like what happened in that time gap...
my oldest came across tiles w/mosaics copying mosaics from Conimbriga, Portugal. you can't imagine how perfectly copied they were. i remember being there & thinking how perfect the "ancient" ones were too. piece by piece or mass formed .. there's no curiosity to find out. it's like Archeology is a "dead" science .. only one explanation .. no other theories allowed.
That was before the global flood,man did not leave in huts but modern architecture edifices and homes that cannot be replicated today. You can see fragments and the ruins scattered all over the a world that modern archaeologist call tombs.
It's almost as if they dug into the ground and find a laminate warehouse where many pieces were found, and a new civilization unfolded them and laid them down on their palace floor.
Like oil paintings, there's a pattern sketched on the floor first. Or maybe on paper but certainly a pre-planned sketch to plan it. Just a guess but freehand tile would never be so precise. Probably laid out in advance too. Then mortar and laid in, grouted. Beautiful examples Mark. Another example might be stain glass prep and work. Just by the nature of the medium, it can't be freehand.
Perhaps all the true mosaics were painted on top of a smooth concrete base using some kind of epoxy paint that reacted to a super heating event. Maybe the images turned ceramic and cracked through heat post applied. Then buried,and flooded in the after math. Thanks mate!✌🏻
YHEaaap i see where your pointing & feel a portion were indeed mass produced !!!! a multitude of techniques would be used depending on cost / available materials / for walls OR floors / how detailed the image was -ie- shading__lighting etc thanks-you OttoChenault
Before creating wool rugs of intricate design, stone-agers were compelled to design mosaic floors of rocks, showing astounding details of their daily lives. Surely they loved their work. People of the past speak to those of us in the present, however future people cannot accomplish communication with the present people.
Perhaps they are not tiles at all, kind of reminds me of a stamped concrete system to simulate texture and color of stone, brick or wood. You apply a release agent to the concrete then use heavy stamps and mats to create the desired pattern and texture then embed a colored release agent into the concrete.
Love your videos ! I’ve been a sub for a few years , maybe 5 . ? So this reminds me of - so I’m coming at you from the Midwest USA . StL . In the nineties there was a quick shop near where I lived . The guy was almost always there 7 days a week , middle aged Korean guy , behind the counter he’d set up an easel and he would take markers and just make dots . Dot dot dot dot … within a week he’s got a picture of Dale Earnhardt standing in front of a crowd at a nascar race I mean it was amazing .
My thoughts. Shrimac. Then sheat of clay. Coated with a powder. A roller cookie cutter. Some kind of dust to make a color. Then supper heated in a roller clem. More color type dust put on them. Then cooled. Some kinda of hand shears to cut some of the pieces. Then, a morter to hold it all together. A thought.
look up the Winhold Reiss Industrial murals at the Cincinnati,Ohio airport. Some of the best examples of murals I've personally seen. These things are huge and displayed on the wall. There is a good story about them. What's interesting is these things were originally paintings, but to give the art greater longevity the artist tiled them. So maybe, the ones we see at archaeology sites are actually paintings( like you said) and the tiles all fell away, or were removed because they were so broken. So what we are seeing is the picture of the painting underneath. Each mural at the airport is 20 ft. × 20 ft., 8 inches thick and weighs 8 tons! So, I ton for each inch of thickness? So, there is no way the archaeologists could remove these old mosaics in their entirety without a crane.
I suppose if they were thousands of years old it would be a full time job since then of keeping the weeds from sprouting out from under them, the seeds get everywhere and consume everything. Even if a piece was forgotten about for 100 years or so there would be barely anything recognizable left to show for today.
very brilliant Video Mr Wise up , they in Our Days they are using same methods in making Mosaics From the past there So called Modern methods in Making Mosaics Even in the Past they Were Aware of Spraying and Several Methods in making Mosaics , Artists in our Recent time inherited all methods that they are Using Today For making Mosaics THAT in itself prove with No Doubt that People in the past Were Advanced like We Are Now
Textile artists can create beautiful images, that aren't just like what is made in ceramics class in high school. There is probably some type of ancient adhesive, grout that is set over the entire piece like a tile wall. Don't take the creativity and skill from the artists, man.
As far as you noticing the sections, it would make sense to section off a giant piece like that to keep everything in order, that looks like the artist or mason sectioned it so it was easier to maintain. You don't want someone in a toga walking by and kicking your entire piece on accident.
Hi, Idk some could have just been painted on a solid tile floor then the tiles broke into smaller pieces then people might have just copied it that way, maybe?
imo theres no way they were painted first and then assembled theres no way you would get such crisp lines and details, most likely it was put down white on a flat surface and then painted
Artists know how it is done. This isn't impossible at all. If it was impossible it wouldn't exist. Sorry. Generations of artisans worked on projects like this. How many people have the surname Tiler, tyler etc. These shows are exceesdimgly insulting to artists who dedicate their lives to their craft. Same as the ones that pretend there is no way we could sculpt marble etc. Just because you can't imagine the skills humans can develop doesn't mean they aren't real. It is literally just practice, process and application.

Im not all that sure what you are trying to convey here, that they are faked or something...? As far as an adhesive to bond the tile but still give a little, lime mortar was typically used in that areas, not modern at all and is longer lasting than modern adhesive.
You sound like you're having a nervous breakdown because you can't explain it - and it's painful. I agree with you though, there is some weird secret behind ancient mosaics which is almost unfathomable and they are not made by painstaking glue and coloured tiles process. Something else entirely, agreed. I also have noticed and wondered about it for some time now. But I don't lose any sleep over it. This is not HUMAN artwork or invention - but NEPHILIM craft. Which is just satan's kingdom and so why tf do I wanna obsess about that? It simply isn't worth it mate.

Mosaics are sometimes made of broken or fired tiles, which give that perfect look where the tiles are consistent.

Mosaik ist wie Puzzles, das ist NICHT schwer
The only thing I don't like is how close-minded this guy is. While believing he is open-minded. He is totally closed off to other possibilities like he couldn't even conceive that he may be wrong on this one or what I mean to say is he doesn't even say at the end, hey guys, if you think I'm wrong, please comment below on what you think we're looking at other than the traditional Mosaic.

are you talking about stone or ceramic tile? you seem to be calling ceramics "stone" 🤦🏻♂
Im not all that sure what you are trying to convey here, that they are faked or something...? As far as an adhesive to bond the tile but still give a little, lime mortar was typically used in that areas, not modern at all and is longer lasting than modern adhesive.
Did not understand the idea of the video. Do you mean these mosaics are of much younger age than they tell us?
You sound like you're having a nervous breakdown because you can't explain it - and it's painful. I agree with you though, there is some weird secret behind ancient mosaics which is almost unfathomable and they are not made by painstaking glue and coloured tiles process. Something else entirely, agreed. I also have noticed and wondered about it for some time now. But I don't lose any sleep over it. This is not HUMAN artwork or invention - but NEPHILIM craft. Which is just satan's kingdom and so why tf do I wanna obsess about that? It simply isn't worth it mate.
