Saudi Arabia has found traces of a civilization
that was domesticating horses about 9,000
years ago, 4,000 years earlier than previously
thought, the kingdom said.
“This discovery shows that horses were
domesticated in the Arabian Peninsula for the
first time more than 9,000 years ago, whereas
previous studies estimated the domestication
of horses in Central Asia dating back 5,000
years, Ali al-Ghabban, vice-chairman of the
Department of Museums and Antiquities, said
at a news conference late Wednesday.

The remains of the civilization were found
close to Abha, in southwestern Asir province,
an area known to antiquity as Arabia Felix.
The civilization, given the name al-Maqari, used “methods of embalming that are totally different to
known processes,” Ghabban said.
Among the remains found at the site are statues of animals such as goats, dogs, hawks, and a three
foot-tall bust of a horse, Ghabban said.
“A statue of an animal of this dimension, dating back to that time, has never been found anywhere in
the world,” Ghabban said.

He added that archaeologists also found arrowheads, stone tools, weaving tools and mortars for
pounding grain, reflecting the development of that civilization.
The remains were found in a valley that was once a riverbed, at a time when the now-arid Arabian
Peninsula was more humid and fertile, the official said.

An international team of archaeologists published an article in January that suggested human beings
could have been present on the Arabian Peninsula about 125,000 years ago.
