Isabel Wyatt- Camels Carved Into Saudi Desert Stone

Archeologists have found huge carvings of camels into stone in Saudi Arabia. It wasn't all camels, though. Some depicted donkeys with the camels. They aren't accompanied by much information like some other rock art.

Nicholas St. Fleur wrote this article in mid February. It shows insight to the past of art and development of culture. The study includes many kinds of people- involving artists, historians, and archeologists.  The article is important because it shows another step into how art evolved and what styles came from historically.

  1. That is interesting that many different people worked together to find , uncover, and interpret this work of art from a different period in history.
