Like 0 1<br />
Riyadh—Saudi Arabia is excavating a new archaeological site that will show horses were<br />
domesticated 9,000 years ago in the Arabian peninsula, the country’s antiquities expert said.<br />
The discovery of the civilization, named al-Maqar after the site’s location, will challenge the<br />
theory that the domestication of animals took place 5,500 years ago in Central Asia, said<br />
Ali al-Ghabban, Vice-President of Antiquities and Museums at the Saudi Commission for<br />
Tourism & Antiquities.<br />
“This discovery will change our knowledge concerning the domestication of horses and the<br />
evolution of culture in the late Neolithic period,” Ghabban told a news conference in the Red Sea<br />
port of Jeddah.<br />
“The Maqar Civilization is a very advanced civilization of the Neolithic period. This site shows us<br />
clearly, the roots of the domestication of horses 9,000 years ago.”<br />
The site also includes remains of mummified skeletons, arrowheads, scrapers, grain grinders,<br />
tools for spinning and weaving, and other tools that are evidence of a civilization that is skilled in<br />
handicrafts.<br />
Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter, is trying to diversify its economy away from oil and<br />
hopes to increase its tourism.Last year the SCTA launched exhibitions in Barcelona’s<br />
CaixaForum museum and Paris’s Louvre museum showcasing historic findings of the Arabian<br />
Peninsula.—AP<br />
