Chekutanga pa-saiti tsvakiridzo inoratidza kuti iyi hombe-yakaomeswa basalt chishandiso chakareba masendimita makumi maviri uye sezviri pachena ndiro “demo” rakakura kwazvo pasi rose. Iyo yakagadzirwa inodzokera kuLower kusvika kuMiddle Paleolithic uye ine makore anopfuura 20.
Demo remaoko rakawanikwa neboka renyika dzakawanda revanochera matongo vanoshanda neRoyal Commission yeAlUla (RCU), inotungamirirwa naDkt Omer "Can" Aksoy uye Dr. Gizem Kahraman Aksoy kubva kuTEOS Heritage. Chikwata chakaongorora nzvimbo yerenje kumaodzanyemba kwe AlUla, inonzi Qurh Plain, kutsvaga humbowo hwekuita kwevanhu munguva dzekare.
Chikwata chakatokwanisa kuburitsa zvinhu zvekuchera matongo zvinoratidza kuti nyika iyi yakarambidzwa yaive musha kune nharaunda ine hupenyu munguva yekutanga yechiIslam, uye iko zvino kuwanikwa kwechinhu ichi chisingawanzo uye chakasiyana chinovimbisa kuvhura chitsauko chitsva munhoroondo yevanhu muArabia nekumhiri. kunyora kunze.
Yakagadzirwa kubva kune yakatsetseka-yakaomeswa basalt, chishandiso chedombo chakareba 20 ″ uye chakagadzirwa pamativi ese kugadzira chishandiso chakasimba chine kucheka kana kucheka mipendero. Panguva ino, kushanda kunogona kungofungidzirwa, asi pasinei nehukuru hwayo, chigadziro chinokwana zvakanaka mumaoko maviri.
Kuferefeta kuri kuenderera mberi, uye iyi yakawanikwa ingori imwe yeanopfuura gumi nemaviri akafanana, kunyangwe idiki zvishoma, Paleolithic ruoko mbezo dzakawanikwa. Kunokarirwa kuti kumwe kunzvera kwesayenzi kuchazivisa mamwe mashoko pamusoro pemavambo nokushanda kwezvinhu izvi uye vanhu vakazviita mazana ezviuru zvemakore akapfuura.
Dr. Ömer Aksoy, mutungamiri wepurojekiti, akati:
"Demo iri reruoko ndechimwe chezvinhu zvakakosha zvakawanikwa muongororo yedu yeQurah Plain."
“Ichi chishandiso chinoshamisa chematombo chinodarika hafu yemamita kureba (kureba: 51.3 cm, hupamhi: 9.5 cm, ukobvu: 5.7 cm) uye ndiwo muenzaniso mukuru wenhevedzano yematombo ematombo akawanikwa panzvimbo ino. Pakutsvaga kuenzanisa pasi rose, hapana demo reruoko rehukuru hwakafanana rakawanikwa. Izvi zvinogona kuita kuti rive rimwe remasanhu makuru ati ambowanikwa."
Pamusoro peiyi ongororo yeQurh Plain, iyo RCU parizvino iri kutarisisa mamwe gumi nerimwe akakosha mapurojekiti ekuchera matongo ari kuitwa muAlUla neKhaybar iri padyo. Chirongwa chetsvakiridzo ichi chiri kuitwa nedonzvo rekuenderera mberi nekufumura zvakavanzika zvenyika yekare mudunhu rino. Kuwanikwa uku kunoshamisa kunosimbisa kuti zvakawanda zvichiri kuda kudzidza nezvazvo Saudhi Arabhiyanhoroondo yevanhu.
Archaeology chinhu chakakosha muRCU's yakazara patsva yedunhu reAlUla senzvimbo inotungamira pasi rose tsika nemagariro enhaka.
Mamisheni gumi nemaviri ekuchera matongo akaitwa mumwaka wekudonha wa12 kubva Gumiguru kusvika Zvita anomiririra imwe yenzvimbo huru dzepasirese dzekutsvaga kwekuchera matongo nekuchengetedza. Basa richaenderera mberi nemamwe mamishini akarongwa munguva yechando uye muchirimo 2023.
Mwaka wekudonha wa2023 unoratidza kuungana kunoshamisa kwepasirese kwevanopfuura mazana maviri vanochera matongo uye nyanzvi dzetsika, kusanganisira nyanzvi kubva kuAustralia, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, uye United Kingdom. Mazhinji emapurojekiti kuenderera mberi kwekutsvagisa kunosanganisira kudzidzisa uye kudzidzisa vanopfuura zana vanochera matongo kubva kuSaudi Arabia.
Musangano wekutanga weAlUla World Archaeology Summit wakaitwa munaGunyana, uchiratidzira nzvimbo yeAlUla senzvimbo yekuchera matongo. Musangano uyu wakakwezva vanopfuura 300 vamiririri vanobva kunyika 39 uye vakatungamirira kukukurukurirana kwemarudzi akasiyana-siyana ane chinangwa chekubatanidza matongo kunharaunda huru.
