Archaeologists have found the remains of dozens of people who were buried up to 7,000 years ago in a stone tomb in Oman, on the Arabian Peninsula.
The tomb, near Nafūn in the country's central Al Wusta province, is among the oldest human-made structures ever found in Oman. The burial area is next to the coast, but it is otherwise a stony desert.
"No Bronze Age or older graves are known in this region," Alžběta Danielisová(opens in new tab), an archaeologist at the Czech Republic's Institute of Archaeology in Prague, told Live Science. "This one is completely unique."
