Summary
Rock art site Almulihiah in Saudi Arabia's Hail region features diverse carvings of human and animal figures, with camels (22%), ibex (10%), and ostriches (8%) as prominent subjects. The study attempts to date the site by comparing its petroglyphs with other regional sites, providing insights into drawing styles and cultural practices. This approach helps contextualize Almulihiah within broader Saudi Arabian rock art traditions.
