This excellent panel of petroglyphs was discovered on 24 January 2010 by Dr. Majeed Khan and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History team in the Bir Hima region of Saudi Arabia, in Najran Province.
This is one of the best known and most visited examples of Saudi Arabian rock art, located not far west of Riyadh. This prominent panel bears a wide diversity of animals and numerous battle scenes.
This wadi at Bir Hima preserves a rich assemblage of petroglyphs in an unusual concentration. The rock art here displays a wide variety of subjects, including animals, humans, and Alia figures, reflecting multiple phases of cultural activity.
This dramatic and complex panel shows a vivid battle scene with infantry, cavalry, and camel corps fighting with sabers and long lances. Whether this depicts one enormous battle or several smaller ones is difficult to say.
