EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stone inscribed with a hunter in the desert and a Safaitic inscription. The image, captured by the Arabic School, is part of the collection at the Archaeological Museum in Amman, Jordan. Dating back to the 1st century BC-3rd century AD, this ancient rock art provides valuable insights into the cultural practices of Bedouin tribes during that time. The stone depicts a skilled hunter amidst vast desert landscapes. His detailed figure demonstrates his expertise in tracking and capturing prey. Alongside this fascinating illustration is a Safaitic inscription, an early form of writing used by nomadic Arab tribes in pre-Islamic times. The inclusion of camels and ostriches further emphasizes the importance of hunting for sustenance within these communities. This artwork not only serves as evidence of their survival strategies but also highlights their artistic expression through graffiti-like drawings. Preserved over centuries, this remarkable piece offers us glimpses into an era long gone. It reminds us of our shared human history and encourages contemplation on how different cultures have evolved over time. As an out-of-copyright image from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it allows viewers to appreciate its beauty without any commercial intentions or restrictions.
