Saudi Arabia discovers 9,000 year old civilization<br />
JEDDAH (REUTERS).- Saudi Arabia is excavating a new archeological site that will show horses were domesticated 9,000<br />
years ago in the Arabian peninsula, the country's antiquities expert said Wednesday.<br />
The discovery of the civilization, named al-Maqar after the site's location, will challenge the theory that the domestication of<br />
animals took place 5,500 years ago in Central Asia, said Ali al-Ghabban, Vice-President of Antiquities and Museums at the<br />
Saudi Commission for Tourism & Antiquities.<br />
"This discovery will change our knowledge concerning the domestication of horses and the evolution of culture in the late<br />
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, the roots of the<br />
domestication of horses 9,000 years ago."<br />
The site also includes remains of mummified skeletons, arrowheads, scrapers, grain grinders, tools for spinning and weaving,<br />
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 to increase its tourism.<br />
Last year the SCTA launched exhibitions in Barcelona's CaixaForum museum and Paris's Louvre museum showcasing historic<br />
findings of the Arabian Peninsula.<br />
