Artifacts from Maldives has been found in an ancient Muslim city discovered in Ethiopia. It is believed that this city is from the 10thcentury. Hence that is 11 centuries ago.

Apparently the city was built with rocks that are so large that it could have been impossible for average human beings to carry them. Hence some say that, the city might have been developed by ‘giants’.

Artefacts from many countries were discovered from the city. These include artefacts from China. This shows that even during those days, there was trade between China and Africa and that Maldives was part of it.

The archeologists who discovered the city said that the city was a trading center in those times and known for producing diamonds. The discovery also reveals Islamic history in Africa.
