30 September 2009Pagan Arabs of the Bronze Age were constructing temples to worship mermaids
Moscow, September 30, Interfax - Arabian fishermen of the Bronze Age worshipped the item of their fishing - dugong, a large marine mammal. This follows from a recent research conducted by a group of French and Oman scientists.
During archaeological excavations of the Arabian island Aquab the scientists found a sanctuary of the Bronze Age, an oval platform constructed of the remains of 40 dugongs where they discovered about two thousand items of jewelry and tools, Izvestia daily reports on Wednesday.
Dugongs could be treated by fishermen as early prototypes of fabulous mermaids because this huge mammal, which is now mostly living next to Australia's seashores, can whistle.
Islam penetrated the Arabian Peninsula in early 7th century, and before the local people had pagan beliefs related to worshipping their ancestors symbolized by stones, trees and animals.
