Saudi Arabia discovers 9,000 year-old civilization - 09-02-2011, 05:09 AM<br />
Saudi Arabia discovers 9,000 year-old civilization<br />
(Reuters) - Saudi Arabia is excavating a new archaeological site that will show horses were domesticated<br />
9,000 years ago in the Arabian peninsula, the country's antiquities expert said on Wednesday.<br />
The discovery of the civilization, named al-Maqar after the site's location, will challenge the theory that<br />
the domestication of animals took place 5,500 years ago in Central Asia, said Ali al-Ghabban, Vice-<br />
President of Antiquities and Museums at the Saudi Commission for Tourism & Antiquities.<br />
"This discovery will change our knowledge concerning the domestication of horses and the evolution of<br />
culture in the late Neolithic period," Ghabban told a news conference in the Red Sea port of Jeddah.<br />
"The Maqar Civilization is a very advanced civilization of the Neolithic period. This site shows us clearly,<br />
the roots of the domestication of horses 9,000 years ago."<br />
The site also includes remains of mummified skeletons, arrowheads, scrapers, grain grinders, tools for<br />
spinning and weaving, and other tools that are evidence of a civilization that is skilled in handicrafts.<br />
Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, is trying to diversify its economy away from oil and hopes<br />
to increase its tourism.<br />
Last year the SCTA launched exhibitions in Barcelona's CaixaForum museum and Paris's Louvre museum<br />
showcasing historic findings of the Arabian Peninsula.<br />
