The General Authority for Tourism and National Heritage, monuments, are internationally registered sites Rata and Al-Mangour Last update: 10/18/1436 10:39 AM Play Text to Speech Site : The two sites of Rata and Al-Manjur are located to the southwest of the city of Hail, about 320 km, to the west of the present village of Al-Shuwaymis, about 35 km. Geographical description: It is made of sandy sedimentary stone heights known as the Rata and Al-Manjur Mountains, surrounded by the Al-Harrah region and penetrated by a valley known as the Rata Valley. Site discovery: This site was discovered by the archaeological researcher in the region / Saad bin Abdulrahman Al-Ruwaisan in the month of Safar 1422 AH. Archaeological description: The site is heights of sandstone that includes its façades and the façades of falling stones around it a lot of wonderful artistic paintings that were executed by the artist of that era with meticulous precision and in a very magnificent and perfect manner, which in its entirety are drawings of complete human figures that sometimes appear alone or accompanying animal figures (dogs) as well as animal figures (Lions - cheetahs - donkeys - and goats - dogs - long-horned cows) were all sculpted by rubbing, clicking or digging, almost normal size, and in a style that reflects the superior skill of the artist of that period and in a way that raises astonishment and admiration for the skill he reached in the art of rock sculpture Perhaps what distinguishes these sites from other sites of rock drawings in the region is the accuracy of execution and those beautiful and wonderful Frisian paintings that the site contains. It is believed that all the funerals discovered from rock drawings in these sites may date back to three different periods, compared to the archaic layer above them. The first period : With the most dense archaic layer and tending to black, which we believe dates back to the end of the Middle Stone Age, specifically between 12 and 14 thousand years from the present, which is characterized by animal and human drawings of almost normal size. The second period: It is also characterized by drawings of animal figures (buffaloes - donkeys) and human figures that sometimes appear alone and sometimes accompanying animal shapes (buffaloes), which are completely similar to the drawings of the first period in terms of accuracy of execution and size. The third period: It is the most recent period in the drawings that were uncovered in these two sites, which we believe date back to the Thamudic period, which is characterized by ostrich drawings and camel drawings, which were executed almost in normal size and which often appear accompanied by Thamudic written texts in their entirety are the names of people, gods, or a phrase A souvenir or a sign of ownership.
