Ancient Christian Cross Found in Abu Dhabi?! Subscribe for More Bible Discoveries

Most people do not realize Christianity had roots in the Arabian Gulf before Islam, but this tiny 1,400 year old plaster cross found on Sir Bani Yas Island in Abu Dhabi tells a much bigger story. Archaeologists discovered this Christian cross near an ancient church and monastery site, helping confirm that Christian monks were living and worshiping in the Arabian Gulf long before most people would expect. This is one of those Bible archaeology discoveries that completely changes how people think about ancient Christianity, early Christian history, and the spread of the faith outside of Rome and Europe.
