Saudi Arabia Discovers 9.000 Year-Old Civilization

Et praedicabitur hoc evangelium regni in universo orbe in testimonium omnibus gentibus; et tunc veniet consummatio. (Matthew 24:14)

Saudi Arabia is excavating a new archeological site that will show horses were domesticated 9.000 years ago in the Arabian peninsula, according to Reuters.

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.

Ghabban added, "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".

Hopefully, they will pull a neolithic harness or saddle out of the sand.
