Amid the arid desert and mountains of AlUla in northwest Saudi Arabia, archaeologists are working to excavate the remnants of the ancient and long-forgotten kingdoms of Dadan and Lihyan.For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.AlUla, a flagship tourist destination since it opened in 2019, is known chiefly for the majestic tombs of Madain Saleh, a 2,000-year-old city carved into rocks by the Nabateans, the pre-Islamic Arab people who also built Petra in neighboring Jordan.A team of French and Saudi archaeologists is now focused on excavating five nearby sites related to the Dadanite and Lihyanite civilisations, important regional powers that flourished 2,000 years ago.“It’s a project that really tries to unlock the mysteries of (these) civilisations,” said Abdulrahman al-Sohaibani, who is co-directing the Dadan archaeological mission.Dadan is mentioned in the Old Testament and the Lihyanite kingdom was one of the largest of its time, stretching from Medina in the south to Aqaba in the north in modern-day Jordan, according to the Royal Commission for the project.Spanning roughly 900 years until 100 CE, the kingdoms controlled vital trade routes but very little is known about them. The team is hoping to learn more about their worship rituals, social life and economy.Previous excavations had been limited to the main sanctuary area, said Jerome Rohmer, a researcher with the French National Center for Scientific Research.“We would just like have a comprehensive overview of the chronology of the site, the layout of the site, its material culture, its economy,” Rohmer added.“It’s a comprehensive project where we’re basically trying to answer all of these questions.”In Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s push to transform Saudi Arabia’s economy and society, AlUla has gained prominence. The kingdom is banking on tourism as it tries to open up to the world and diversify its economy away from oil.AlUla’s development is part of a move to preserve pre-Islamic heritage sites in order to attract non-Muslim tourists and strengthen national identity.Read more: Saudi Arabia’s AlUla and Saudia airline will launch world’s first flying museum‘AlUla Moments’: Upcoming festival will launch in Saudi Arabia in DecemberSaudi, Austrian FMs tour Saudi Arabia’s AlUla
