Gede Ruins in Kilifi County remain a mystery and an archeological puzzle even as experts continue to rewrite its history.

The latest discovery shows the site had a high concentration of hammams, a type of public steam bath, in the East African coast. This could be an indication that the inhabitants were wealthy and used a lot of water.

The settlement, which stands on 45 acres of land, was established in the 13th Century and abandoned in the first half of the 17th Century.
