A stunning archaeological discovery in Saudi Arabia’s Al-Qassim region has brought medieval Islamic history back into the spotlight. Excavations at the ancient site of Diriyah have uncovered a ceramic jar filled with more than 100 pieces of gold, silver, and gemstone-studded jewellery, buried for over 1,200 years.
The discovery, now being called the “Diriyah Treasure,” is being hailed as one of the most significant finds in recent Middle Eastern archaeology.
