Prince Sultan highlighted SCTA’s efforts to excavate antiquities in various parts of the country, in
addition to protecting them in a scientific manner. He also revealed plans to establish new
museums in various parts of KSA: “The results of the excavation show that taking care of horses
has been an old tradition inherited by Muslims from their forefathers. There is no wonder that
during the time of Prophet Mohammed and the Caliphs, special areas had been allocated for
breeding and rearing horses.”
Professor Ali Al-Ghabban, Vice President of SCTA for antiquities and museums, said the SCTA
began excavations in Al-Maqar after receiving information about the area from a Saudi last year,
adding Saudi and international experts took part in the excavation.
Professor Ghabban added that DNA and C-14 tests proved that the artifacts found during the
excavation were 9,000 years old. He said the team had found 80 valuable artifacts from the area.
Previous excavations showed people in Central Asia took care of horses 5,000 years ago.
