Original review summary

FACTLY reports that a July 2022 excavation at Al-Faw uncovered an 8,000-year-old stone temple and altar, along with Neolithic settlements and graves. It says inscriptions dedicated to the local god Kahal associate the temple with Al-Faw’s local religious practices, not Hinduism.[S1]
