as you can see this archaeological place is a tourist destination for many visitor to Saudi Arabia, this site used to be one of the ancient tribes habitat where they used these chains of mountains to mine and reshape their houses in and live inside it. the bigger the door of the structure facade the richer the person is. so as you can tell the visible information is a successive chain of mountains that has holes in it for old tribes to live in. but what is invisible is more interesting. ancient tribes choose this precise locations to be there habitat indicates their high intelligence because they would be living in successive chain of mountains where they can also climb and use for defence and observation purposes, in addition to their high social life habits. where they choose to live next to each other, each family in a mountain so they get more connected and to protect each other back, by living in the chains of mountains rather than tents. this teaches us the following human behvaior : people like to live close to each other to get more connected, people like security, people like to live in the centre.
