A collection of camel sculptures etched onto rock faces were discovered around three years ago in the Al Jouf Province and were estimated to be around 2,000 years old. However, recent research has debunked that.<\/p>\n

According to the BBC<\/a>, new research published in the Journal of Archaeological Science estimates the relief to be between 7,000 and 8,000 years old.<\/p>\n

This makes it way older than iconic ancient landmarks as Stonehenge that\u2019s 5,000 years old or even the Pyramids at Giza that\u2019s 4,500 years old.<\/h2>\n
