Archaeologists have uncovered giant rock carvings in the northern Arabian Peninsula, estimated to be around 12,000 years old, marking one of the region’s most significant prehistoric discoveries.
The carvings depict a variety of scenes reflecting ancient life, including large wild animals such as ibexes, camels, and horses, alongside human figures believed to illustrate social and spiritual practices of the time.
Researchers noted that the scale and precision of the carvings demonstrate the advanced artistic skills of early inhabitants and highlight a once-rich environment teeming with wildlife and natural resources.
They emphasized that these findings provide crucial evidence that the Arabian Peninsula was not merely a migration corridor but also a cradle of civilizations that contributed to human history.
This discovery is expected to reshape the historical narrative of the Arabian Peninsula, reinforcing its status as a global heritage hub that hosted advanced cultural and societal practices thousands of years ago.
