Oman: Archaeologists find 4,000-year-old stone board game
A 4,000-year-old stone board game has been discovered by archaeologists in Oman.
The large board – which had marked fields and cup holes – was found by a team from the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology and Oman’s Heritage and Tourism Ministry near the village of Ayn Bani Saidah.
After finding a tower in a Bronze Age settlement during archaeological fieldwork in Qumayrah Valley in northern Oman, archaeologists unearthed evidence of copper smelting.
That is when they discovered the stone board game.
