SOPHISTICATED human civilisation may have started further back in time than previously thought after a 7,500-year-old temple city was uncovered.
Archaeologists working at site in Kuwait have discovered a new temple and public plaza that suggest an advanced society.
The Ubaids, of which little is known, were the first agricultural settlers to move into the region which would later become Sumer in the southernmost region of ancient Mesopotamia.
The ancient culture is characterised by large village settlements, with sophisticated irrigation techniques and the appearance of the first temples.
Headed by Professor Piotr Bielinski of the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology (PCMA) at the University of Warsaw, the dig also included the Kuwaiti archaeologists Sultan al-Duweish and Hamid al-Mutairi.
Professor Bielinski said: “Indications suggest that it was a building with a cultic (religious) function and it combines elements of the Ubaid culture.”
Decoration painted on Ubaid ceramics are usually geometric shapesFurther research may prove that the building is the oldest of its kind, not only in Kuwait but also in the whole Persian Gulf region.
A large space between the buildings was also reported, something Mr Bielinski identified as “a plaza or village square” and “indicates town planning, which is very surprising at a site with such an early date”.
Furthermore, at least 10 other structures and 16,000 pottery fragments were discovered at Bahra 1 since work began in 2009.

Bahra 1 is the largest Ubaid settlement found on the Arabian Peninsula.
It is believed that the mysterious culture led to the creation of the region’s first cities and boasted a complex social structure which is still being researched by archaeologists.
Some scientists believe that the roots of urban life as we know it trace back to the Ubaid period.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
