Kaya sanatı, eski kültürlerin ayinlerini, ritüellerini, dinlerini, toplumsal yapılarını ve ekonomisini ifade etmek için kullanılan en ilkel görsel formlardan biridir. Kayaların üzerindeki görsel kayıt, Arabistan’ın geçmiş toplumlarının göstergesidir. Onlar için kaya, yaşantılarına dair tek iletişim ve belge kaynağıdır. Bunlar sayesinde, Suudi Arabistan’da, bedevî dediğimiz eski insanların günlük yaşamlarının mükemmel ve eşsiz bir kaydına sahibiz. Zira mevcut Arap gelenekleri ve kültürleri, çoğunlukla birkaç bin yıl boyunca hüküm süren eski kültürlerine dayanmaktadır.

Öz

Rock art is one of the most primitive visual form used to express the rites, rituals, religions, social and economy of early cultures. The visual record on the rocks is the manifestation of past societies of Arabia. For them rock was the only source of communication and documentation of their way of life. Here, in Saudi Arabia we have an excellent and unique record of the daily life of ancient people to whom we call Bedouins. The present Arab traditions and cultures mostly based on their ancient cultures prevailing over several millennia.
