Salweyn, also known as Salwine, is an archaeological site in the northern Sanaag province of Somalia. ==Overview== Salweyn is situated to the east of the old coastal town of Heis. A small eponymous creek is located in the area. The site contains a very large field of cairns, which stretches for a distance of around 8 km.〔 An excavation of one of these tumuli by Georges Révoil in 1881 uncovered a tomb, beside which were artefacts pointing to an ancient, advanced civilization. The interred objects included pottery sherds from Samos, some well-crafted enamels, and a mask of Ancient Greek design.〔 Additionally, close to the cairns are a number of rows of standing stones. These menhirs are similar to those at Botiala in the Bari province. Along with Macajilayn, Salweyn is also the only local site where specialized ancient disc monuments have been found.〔 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「Salweyn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
