Remains of Old Mosque Found in Kuwait
According to alkhalij website, the remains were discovered by a team of Polish archeologists on Failaka island, one of several islands dotting Kuwait's territorial waters.
Agnieszka Binkowska, head of the team, said the historic site was located in the village of Kharayeb Al-Desht.
Kuwaiti and Polish archeologists discovered the 200 square meter mosque, including four large columns, each of a 1.5-meter length, that had been erected to support the ceiling, said Dr. Binkowska.
There are also two mihrabs, one of a meter width and 1.5 m depth, and the smaller one measured 0.7 m in width and 04 m in depth.
Binkowska said the excavators are seeking to determine when the old mosque was last used.
The Kuwaiti-Polish team of excavators have found remains of two ancient houses, more than 100 clay ovens and stone data-x-items indicating that the old settlers depended on the sea to make a living.
