Archaeologists have unearthed a remarkable 1,400-year-old Christian cross on Abu Dhabi’s Sir Bani Yas Island, adding to our understanding of Christianity’s eastward expansion in the Arabian Peninsula. The intricately crafted stucco plaque, discovered during the first major excavation in over three decades, provides unprecedented evidence of a thriving Christian community that flourished during the 7th and 8th centuries. This extraordinary find challenges previous assumptions about the extent of early Christian settlements and reveals the sophisticated religious diversity that characterized the pre-Islamic Arabian Gulf region.
