Remains of 7,500-year-old man found in UAE
2004-12-21
Archaeologists in the United Arab Emirates have found the remains of a 7,500-year-old man, the oldest skeleton found in the country, the official WAM news agency reported. The skeleton was found buried on Marawah island, some 100 kilometres off the coast of the capital Abu Dhabi. The man was aged between 20 and 40 years. It was buried facing east, indicating a sophisticated community lived on Marawah, Peter Hellyer, executive director of the Abu Dhabi Islands Archaeological Survey, said.
No, it means he was facing away from Mecca -- trying to tell us something, I think.
Excavations at the island, which have lasted several years, have also unearthed remains of buildings and utensils. The UAE is located on the tip of the Arabian Peninsula.
