Saudi Arabia reveals new archaeological discovery ‘older than Egypt Pyramids’
Published 04 May,2021 via Daily News Egypt - Saudi Arabia revealed, last Thursday, a new archaeological discovery that is more ancient than previously believed, claiming that this discovery is older even than the Great Pyramids of Egypt.
The monumental complex of structures called “mustatils”, located at the ancient Al-Ula site, had previously been known. However, the Royal Commission of AlUla (RCU) backed team has so far recorded more than 1,000 of these structures, roughly twice as many as had previously been identified.
Three monumental mustatils and a later funerary ‘pendant’ have been located atop a rocky outcrop on the border of Khaybar and Al-Ula cities in Saudi Arabia.
