In the “umm sinman mountains”, as in many places in the northwest of saudi arabia, there are rock carvings, some of which are up to 8000 years old. Some of the engravings are inscribed with writings that are also around 1000 years old and then there are “immortalizations” from more recent times. That’s why this world heritage site is now surrounded by a large fence.
