Burial Chamber in the Abu Dhabi
Umm al-Nar tom dating back to about 3,000 BCE. The tomb is a circular 10.5 meters diameter tower with four interior chambers. The remains of well over 200 individuals were recovered in the tomb, along with various gave offerings. The tomb also features two famous 5,000-year-old Engravings, the first one of two people and an oryx and the other of two cheetahs catching a gazelle.
