Archaeologists have uncovered the first physical evidence of a 'long-lost' Christian community in the Middle East .

The building was discovered under a cemetery in Samahij , Bahrain , an island country that sits off the coast of Saudi Arabia and Qatar .

Radiocarbon dating revealed that people had occupied the structure 2,000 years ago .

The Church of the East , also called the Nestorian Church , thrived in the area until Islam became widespread in the early 7th century .
