During his December visit to the emirate of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, Dr Sam Osmanagich had the opportunity to visit the most important archaeological and geological sites. He had the honor of being in the presence of Princess Sheikha Bodour Al Qasimi, daughter of the ruler of this emirate and wife of Crown Prince Muhammad Al Qasimi.
The guides for Dr Osmanagich and his wife Sabina were the director of the Archaeological Department of Sharjah, Eisa Yousif, and the leader of the Belgian team in this country, Dr Bruno Overlaet.
Certainly the most significant was the visit to the Jebel Faya site, where human tools were found that were dated to 125,000 years old using the luminescent method. Hereby, another fallacy of the English and the Encyclopedia Brittanica is exposed. Modern man did not emerge from Africa 55,000 years ago, but much earlier. During 2021, more than 1,000 tools were found in the Mleiha region that are older than 180,000 years, so that a new human history is being written in an unexpected place, between the Omani and Arabian (Persian) Gulfs.
A number of other sites from the Paleolithic, Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages have made Sharjah a world-attractive location. Impressed by these finds, and by the systematic approach to the processing and preservation of artifacts and their presentation through high-tech modern museum and archaeological centers, Dr. Osmanagich gave a very affirmative statement for a documentary that will be shown on TV Sharjah in the future.
