...rchaeology News – The Roots of Purebred Arabian Horses « Europe « Heritage Daily 156 / http://www.heritagedaily.com/2011/08/the-roots-of-purebred-arabian-horses صفحة ٢ من ٣ ٣٢/١٠/١١ (Kazakhstan). This site demonstrated that horses were domesticated in Saudi Arabia before a long period of the afore-mentioned date. LATEST VIDEO The length of a statute of a horse – comprised of neck and chest – found at the site is nearly 100CM which could be the largest sculpture for a horse during that period. Other statues found in Turkey and Syria were of small size, dated latter, and contained no horse statues. The features of the horse statue are similar to that of the original Arabian horses characterized with long neck and unique head shape. On the head of the abovementioned statue there are clear signs of a bridle which in turn confirms that inhabitant of AlMagar domesticated horses at that early periods. All statues were made of the same local rocks available at the site and it seems that the statues had been fixed on a central building at the southern bank of the river before the mouth point of the river at the waterfall. This central building might had major role in the social life of Grain pounder: Image-SCTA the site inhabitants. Some of the caves near the site were used as graves by the inhabitants. Remains of buried skeltons were found as well as othe graves covered by mud and hay. Burial methods applying some embalmment technique were traced in the coherent skeltons, a matter considered as an advanced technique for burial. A one meter high statue of a horse found on the site: Image-SCTA In addition to the stone tools, arrowheads, scrapers and spearheads, other objects were also found at the site including stone grain- grinders and stone pestle for pounding grains in addition to gravitation stones used in weaving looms, stone reel for spinning and weaving, soapstone pot decorated by geometrical motifs and stone tools for leather processing which reflect advance knowledge and high skill in handcraft activities. In addition to the above-mentioned artifacts, a stone dagger was found at the site bearing the same features and shape of the Arabian genuine dagger used presently in the Arabian Peninsula. This artifact is an important cultural element as the dagger is one of the most important cultural and traditional element among the Arabs which according to this evidence date back to Spindal Whorles: Images-SCTA several thousand years and survived up to the present time. No doubt presence of stone dagger in this site before 9000 years would add much to the ancient history of the Arabian peninsula. A significant stone piece was found at the site bearing small cut lines on the edges. The parallel lines were set in groups perhaps for accounting, numbering or timing purposes. It seems that this piece has an important role, the fiture studies may reveal its significant usage. A example of one the objsts with incised lines: Image-SCTA horses and human beings. There are rock drawings at the area adjacent to Al-Magar site. The petroglyphs were created by deep pecking and engraving the darkly patinated rock surface. Ibexes, ostriches and other animals as well as human figures including a man riding a horse are carefully depicted. Another drawing shows hunting ibexes followed by hound dogs where five dogs surrounding an ibex. The petroglyphs have turned by time to black which indicate that such thee were made during the term when the site was inhibited.

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