What was happening in The Promised Land circa 300 years after Jesus?

When that Roman flooring was being made this was happening in The New World.

"Many cities, including Zarahemla, are rebuilt."

I want to see their floors! Could this have been a Nephite floor?

From the article....

"Unfortunately, there are no good images of the tile floor."

No good images of Zarahemla either and the plates were taken back to heaven.

If they were nephite floors, they would have found fossilized cheerios too....what with the nephites being mormon and all and having kids to keep quiet in church.

The mosaic floor in Italy is quite beautiful, the one in Oklahoma not so much as to qualify for comparison. Some of the best and oldest examples of Roman mosaics are in the Vatican. They were taken from Roman ruins and restored there a long time ago.

Every one knows that Zarahemla is in Tn. The Tn River flows from south to north in its final stretch thereby making it a dead ringer for the river Sidon. The lost nephite cities are underwater beneath KY lake!

No reason. Meldrum needs to be consulted. ;)
