Three medieval graves in southern France may hold the remains of three Muslim men, a new study finds.
Several clues provide hints about the graves’ occupants. Not only are the individuals’ faces oriented toward Mecca, a holy city for Muslims, but the shape of the grave is reminiscent of other Muslim burials, the researchers said.
If the individuals were indeed Muslim, these graves would be the earliest Muslim burials on record in France, the researchers said.
