All of the graves contain humans laid to rest in a squatting or \u2018fetus\u2019 position. We were able to identify more than a million graves with the help of Google and through a specialized scientific team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Regarding the timing of this era, Dr. Al-Yahya said: \u201cThese graves were made when the Arabian Peninsula was very fertile and looked like the savannah forests. They symbolize constructions made by people who lived in prosperity, did not live in a barren desert preventing them from building a burial with complex and precise engineering methods.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">He noted that the huge graves pointed towards the sky and became an important symbol for the Mesopotamian and Nile civilizations, stressing that they are the civilization of peoples who have an ancient visual and celestial dimension.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">He explained that, according to the researches of the German Max Planck Institute, the last decades of the savannah era in the Arabian Peninsula dated back 6,500 years ago. When the Arabian Peninsula became a desert, its people moved to lands with rivers and transmitted their culture as well, including cuneiform, which can be found on most of the graves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Al-Yahya said that a large part of these ancient graves were exposed to excavation in ancient times, unlike the Nile graves, which were famous for hiding the tombs of kings underground so that they would not be seen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Cuneiform graves were visible and built above the mountains where furniture and weapons were buried with the deceased along with some of their belongings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">He stressed that what the RCU had achieved in collaboration with the UWA proved that the graves are some of the oldest types of architecture in the world \u2014 older than the pyramids dating back over 8,000 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Al-Yahya estimated that some of these graves may date back to the Middle Stone Age, and that they may find graves dating back further still.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">www.arabnews.com<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Royal Commission for AlUla, in partnership with the University of Western Australia, revealed that the people who lived in the ancient northwest of the Arabian Peninsula built long \u201cfunerary avenues\u201d surrounded by thousands of burial monuments during the third millennium BC.
