Kondey or Kondē (Dhivehi: ކޮނޑޭ) is one of the inhabited islands of Northern Huvadhu Atoll, administrative code Gaafu Alifu.

History

Archaeology

This island has large ruins from the historical Maldivian Buddhist era.

A ruined Stupa called “Kodey Haviththa” is on the east of the island, about {{convert|800|ft|m}} from the shore. It is {{convert|47|ft|m}} square and {{convert|4|ft|m}} high.
On the south-west of the island, about {{convert|500|ft|m}} from the above, there is another “Haviththa” which is {{convert|50|ft|m}} square and {{convert|4|ft|m}} high.
On the southern fringes, about {{convert|400|ft|m}} away from the shore there is another “Haviththa” measuring {{convert|60|ft|m}} square and {{convert|6|ft|m}} in height. It has a depression at the centre which is {{convert|7|ft|m}} in diameter and {{convert|2|ft|m}} in depth.

Besides the above there are other ruins scattered all over the island. None of them have been properly investigated, although a Makara (sea monster) head in stone was found during Thor Heyerdahl's expedition. Mr. Muhammad Lutfee is seen holding this Makara head in one of the pictures of Thor Heyerdahl's book. The Makara was a common embellishment in classical Hindu and Buddhist temples.
