Religious Life in Al-Faw Village An Archeology-based Study

Abstract

The present study aims to highlight the reality of the religion of the Village of Al-Faw located in the southwest of Riyadh, shedding light on its deities, names, symbols, temples, and rituals of worship. The study consists of several sections, which dealt with the main deities, the arriving deities, the temples and other places of worship, as well as the religious rituals and sacrifices offered to them. The researcher has reached several important results, the most prominent of which are the following: the influence of the religion of the village by the ancient Yemeni civilization in its deities, and the design of its building, its temples and scripts. This great influence is attributed to the strong links between the two civilizations and the location of the village on the main road of land trade caravans.
