Kuwait's National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters (NCCAL) has discovered tens of cemeteries and engraved items in a popular eastern resort in the shores of the Arabian Gulf.
The new discoveries are reminiscent of a bronze age culture known as "Um Al-Nar", which existed around 2,500 BC in the area of modern-day United Arab Emirates and northern Oman, the director of NCCAL's department of antiquities and museums, Sultan Al-Duweish, told KUNA on Saturday.
He pointed out that the area was at one point in time a vibrant trade zone that linked vast civilizations across eastern Saudi Arabia, saying the findings are the by-product of extensive archaeological surveys carried out on unexplored landscapes. On the purpose of such endeavors, Al-Duweish noted it helps uncover the illustrious history of Kuwait, a nation whose soil has contributed immensely to the growth of human civilization.

Rare antiquities found along eastern Kuwaiti coast
Looks like a little slice of heaven, that.
Umbrella drinks with no drinks in ‘em.
Al-Duweish noted it helps uncover the illustrious history of Kuwait, a nation whose soil has contributed immensely to the growth of human civilization.
Name three such “immense contributions”.
Two? Do I hear two?
Will anyone start the bidding at one?
That’s a misprint - it should have said “...a nation whose OIL has...”
Thanks; soil fit with archaeological surveys and uncovering illustrious history. Oil does, though misplaced in the sentence, more closely fit immense contributions to the growth of civilization.
