Excavation in Kuwait: During excavations in Kuwait, archaeologists have found a 7000 year old statue. The idol made of clay found during excavation is completely unique in itself. Because this statue looks like an alien. However, the design and artwork of this type of sculpture matches the ancient art style of Mesopotamia.
This is the first statue of its kind found during excavations in Kuwait and the Arabian Gulf. This discovery by archaeologists has been made at a place named Bahra-1 in northern Kuwait. Where there once used to be an ancient settlement. This discovery reflects the culture of Kuwait and surrounding countries. The discovery of this statue shows what kind of religious beliefs existed in Muslim-dominated Kuwait before the arrival of Islam.
According to the report of Live Science, this statue found in Kuwait belongs to the Ubaid culture, which came from Mesopotamia. The Ubaid people mingled with Neolithic societies in the Arabian Gulf in the sixth millennium BC. For this reason this area became a center of cultural transactions. Experts are expressing surprise after seeing this statue.
This statue is made of Mesopotamian clay
Experts say that this statue is made of Mesopotamian soil and not the local soil of the Arabian Gulf. This gives information that the Ubaid people had brought their traditions to this area. On looking carefully at this statue, its finely made head, slanting eyes, flat nose and long skull are visible. The statue was found at Bahra 1, a prehistoric site in northern Kuwait, where a Kuwaiti-Polish team has been excavating since 2009.
Ubaid people lived in Bahra-1. Which was a culture that began in Mesopotamia and is known for its distinctive pottery.
