13,500-year-old ancient settlement found, advanced tools and trade networks revealed / Image: File

saudi arabiaThe Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) has announced an unprecedented archaeological discovery that pushes back the timeline of human history in the Arabian Peninsula. Deep in the rugged landscapes of AlUla, researchers discovered evidence of human habitation dating back 13,500 years. The discovery proves that the region was not just a barren desert, but a thriving home to hunter-gatherer communities long before the rise of the world’s most famous ancient civilizations.

Exploration in the Arnan-al-Misma area revealed

What has really surprised archaeologists is not just the age of the site, but the level of organization it reveals. The find included finely crafted stone tools such as bladelets associated with structured hunting practices, indicating that this was not a temporary camp but part of a developing human system. The stability of tool-making techniques and the presence of multiple activity layers suggest a community that understood its environment and adapted to it over time. Rather than scattered nomads, the inhabitants represent an early form of desert society, capable of planning, resource management, and possibly seasonal settlement patterns, an important step toward organized civilization in Arabia.

13,500 to 8,700 years ago

The site’s timeline adds another layer of importance. The earliest phase dates back to about 13,500 years ago, but evidence suggests that humans either returned or remained in the area for thousands of years later, with the second major phase occurring between 10,300 and 8,700 years ago. This continuity suggests that northern Arabia was not habitable for short periods of time, but supported human life under changing climatic conditions. Over time, tool technology developed, and the density of artifacts increased, pointing to increasing populations and more stable settlement behavior. This long period of occupation strengthens the argument that Arabia played a continuing role in early human development.

190 km trade route

One of the most surprising findings is the discovery of obsidian and other materials originating from sources up to 190 kilometers away, possibly from volcanic areas such as Khyber. This suggests that early inhabitants either traveled vast distances or participated in primitive exchange networks. This type of movement challenges the idea of ​​isolated desert groups and instead presents a picture of interconnected communities. In this context, the Arabian Peninsula emerges as a major migration and connectivity region linking Africa, Asia and the Levant. This reinforces the theory that early humans did not avoid Arabia, but actively moved there and settled in it.

Ancient Natufian culture

Tools discovered at the site show similarities to tools associated with the Natufian culture, a prehistoric society known for an early sedentary lifestyle in the Levant region. This relationship suggests that northern Saudi Arabia was not culturally isolated but was part of a broader prehistoric network. The exchange of techniques and styles reflects interaction or shared knowledge across different regions, highlighting the Arab role in the larger story of human transition from nomadic hunting to more settled ways of life. This points to the early formation of cultural identities that extended beyond geographical boundaries.

Rewriting Saudi archeology

The discovery is now forcing archaeologists to massively rethink the way they understand Saudi Arabia’s history. For decades, much of the Arabian Peninsula was viewed as a marginal region in early human history, largely ignored due to its harsh climate. However, findings like these are changing that narrative. The evidence clearly shows that Arabia was not an empty desert, but a rich and dynamic landscape that supported human life, innovation, and movement for thousands of years. This positions Saudi Arabia as a central rather than peripheral piece of the human development puzzle.

Why does this finding matter?

Beyond regional significance, the site has global implications. It reshapes the timeline of human migration, challenges assumptions about the existence of early societies, and sheds light on human adaptability to extreme environments. As experts explore more sites in northern Saudi Arabia, they believe even older and more complex evidence may emerge. This discovery isn’t just about the past – it’s opening a new chapter in understanding how humans spread across continents and laid the foundation for civilization.

Mojtaba Khamenei (ANI image)

Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei survived a deadly airstrike that targeted his family and top members of the Islamic republic’s leadership. According to an audio obtained by The Telegraph, Mojtaba Khamenei was targeted in the same attack that killed his father and Iran’s late supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei and other members of the Islamic Republic’s leadership.

Mojtaba had gone out for a walk in the garden of his father’s compound just minutes before his residence was struck by Israeli Blue Sparrow ballistic missiles on 28 February. Due to his brief absence from the building, Mojtaba’s life was saved, with only a minor injury to his leg.

The audio was recorded on March 12 during an address delivered by Mazaher Hosseini, the protocol chief of Ali Khamenei’s office, to senior clerics and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders.Click here for live updates of the war It provides the first detailed account of what happened inside the supreme leader’s compound during the strike. Hosseini revealed that Mojtaba’s wife, Zahra Haddad-Adel, and their son Bagher were killed in the attack. According to Hosseini, the body of Mohammad Shirazi, head of Khamenei’s military bureau, was “cut into pieces”. According to him, the aim of this attack was to wipe out the entire Khamenei family. Mojtaba lived in the same compound as his father, which also contained a religious hall where Ali Khamenei gave speeches and residences for other children. Hosseini said the missiles hit several locations simultaneously, some of which were aimed directly at the supreme leader’s residence.Hosseini was heard saying in the audio, “God willed that Mojtaba had to go out into the yard to do something and then come back. He was outside and going upstairs when they hit the building with a missile. His wife, Ms. Haddad, was martyred instantly.” His brother Mustafa Khamenei and his wife were in another residence nearby when it was also attacked; Dust and debris partially protected them, causing no harm.In addition to Ali Khamenei, the attack also killed senior officials including Mohammad Pakpour, the IRGC chief, and Iran’s Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh, who had gathered for a meeting inside the compound. Hosseini said the attack on Mohammad Shirazi was aimed at disrupting succession planning, as Shirazi was a key link between Iran’s military command and the supreme leader. “The enemies knew that, while killing the supreme leader, kill him also because they knew that he would replace those killed, and when the new [commanders] If introduced, they could get a chance [influence] Rioters and infiltrators and do something. “He was dismembered – they didn’t find anything on him, and in the end they found a few kilos of meat and identified it as his body,” Hosseini said.The missiles also hit Mojtaba’s upper floor residence, Misbah’s house and the residence of Mustafa and his wife.The audio comes amid speculation over Mojtaba Khamenei’s injuries and ability to lead. Earlier, several media reports had claimed that Mojtaba was in a coma after being seriously injured in the air strike.An Iranian official told The Telegraph that military commanders had no information about their current situation. “Mojtaba was selected, but it is against the wishes of the Supreme Leader and perhaps even against his own wishes. We have not heard anything from him yet.” Mojtaba first came to public attention at the age of 17 when he disappeared for a week in March 1985 while serving on the front lines of the Iraq–Iran War.IRGC commanders initially considered him inexperienced, although he survived the conflict.None of Ali Khamenei’s other children have appeared in public since the attack and Mojtaba’s only communication has come through a written message read on state television.
