Fresh evidence has been found of an Iron Age snake cult that once existed in the UAE. A 3,000-year-old snake temple, unearthed in Masafi, Fujairah, points to a complex ancient society that had separate roles for priests and bureaucrats, and trading links across the region. The building contained dozens of bronze snake statues, as well as scores of pottery fragments emblazoned with snake designs.

Answer:
The territory currently known as the United Arab Emirates was home to three distinct Iron Age periods. Iron Age I spanned 1,200–1,000 BCE, Iron Age II from 1,000–600 BCE, and Iron Age III from 600–300 BCE. This period of human development in the region was followed by the Mleiha or Late Pre-Islamic era, from 300 BCE onwards through to the Islamic era which commenced with the culmination of the 7th century Ridda Wars.
