flag Archaeologists found a 13,500-year-old settlement in northern Saudi Arabia, showing early humans lived in the desert and traded over long distances.

flag Archaeologists in northern Saudi Arabia have discovered a 13,500-year-old human settlement at the Sahout site near the Nefud Desert, revealing continuous occupation from the late Ice Age into the early Holocene. flag Artifacts including finely crafted stone tools, obsidian from 190 kilometers away, and life-size rock carvings indicate advanced technology, long-distance exchange, and cultural connections to the Levant. flag The findings challenge previous assumptions about desert habitability and highlight northern Arabia’s role as a corridor for early human migration and cultural development.
