| Summary, etc |
The exhibition organized by Sharjah Archaeology Museum in collaboration with Umm Al Quwain Antiquities and Heritage Department is hosting 67 unique artifacts from the collections of Umm Al Quwain Museum that date back to the Stone Age. The artifacts include flint tools, delicate jewelry and small, square and cylindrical stone stamps from Tell Abraq, which confirms the long history between the people of Ed-Dur and Mesopotamia and Sindh more than 3000 years ago. The collections focus on the status of Ed-Dur port in Umm Al Quwain and its role in the trade movement in the Arabian Peninsula during the early centuries CE. They also explore the port’s relationship with Meliha in the inland areas of Sharjah, as they both were under one cultural range that created a part of the trade network between the UAE, Iraq, Yemen, India, and the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea. The exhibition offers visitors a chance to learn about the important discoveries found in Ed-Dur Temple site – the only one of its kind to be located on the coast. Among the discoveries is an oil lamp, a basin with Aramaic inscriptions, as well as two eagle statues which possibly stood at the entrance of the temple. |
