Kondey or Kondē (Dhivehi: ކޮނޑޭ) is one of the inhabited islands of Northern Huvadhu Atoll, administrative code Gaafu Alifu. It is a long wooded island located on Huvadu Atoll's eastern rim. ==Archaeology== This island has large ruins from the historical Maldivian Buddhist era. *A ruined Stupa called “Kodey Haviththa” is on the east of the island, about from the shore. It is square and high. *On the south-west of the island, about from the above, there is another “Haviththa” which is square and high. *On the southern fringes, about away from the shore there is another “Haviththa” measuring square and in height. It has a depression at the centre which is in diameter and in depth. Besides the above there are other ruins scattered all over the island. None of them have been properly investigated, although a Makara (sea monster) head in stone was found during Thor Heyerdahl's expedition. Mr. Muhammad Lutfee is seen holding this Makara head in one of the pictures of Thor Heyerdahl's book. The Makara was a common embellishment in classical Hindu and Buddhist temples. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kondey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
