For the first time in millennia, a Magan Boat sails off the coast of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪

It’s a reconstruction that has taught the world much about the skill and achievements of Bronze Age sailors.

Archaeology on Marawah Island, west of Abu Dhabi, has revealed that 8,000 years ago the Arabian coast was home to a sophisticated seafaring people. They built stone structures, herded livestock, fished and dived for pearls, crafted jewelry, and developed a talent for sailing that started a remarkable cultural exchange.
