Ancient archaeological site in Failaka Island. In ancient times the island was influenced by/formed a part of nearby Sumer (and later Mesopotamian civilizations), the nearby Dilmun Civilization and the Kingdom of Characene whose culture was Hellenistic.

Many more photos can be found here below. A shame that I cannot post them.

Kuwait is hoping that it will become a World UNESCO Heritage Site one day. I believe that it deserves such a recognition.

@HRK please take a look at this thread below.

https://defence.pk/threads/uae-surr...perations-in-yemen.435045/page-7#post-8391038

It is in urgent need of some cleaning as it has evolved into a troll feast due to a few trolls.

@Oscar , @Irfan Baloch , @waz

Plz do the nedful

 

[HRK]

Brother, I have already written to @waz . I wanted to write to you directly but I could not access your profile page. Please delete your post in this thread and this one as well. Thank you.

I am not a mod anymore so cant help you in this case ....

regards

Oh wow, what a warrior. When called out and confronted for posting irrelavant Arabian glory BS in b/w every thread, Our @Arabian Stallion didn't had the guts to take the truth. Didn't had the guts to even tag the mods on same thread to delete his critics. Used other thread, took the back door and bail out. So much for much bragged about warrior ethos. You liked it, but his claims are distorted and full of fallacies. @Kuwaiti Girl When I told him let me search, he ran away.

Hey MODs,
He started the rant, @waz how about reading his response all the way before deleting our responses.
@Horus @Irfan Baloch @Oscar
"To tell you honestly I think it is hilarious to see people belonging to ethnicities that cannot even touch our knees, barking here. If historical facts are "superiority" then so be it. Every other people here take pride in their achievements but whenever Arabs do it people are screaming and crying. I wonder why that is? I have a few theories but let us leave it at that."

You're calling me here, criticising, when this thread isn't the place to do it. Take it elsewhere please. This is for photos.
