Archaeologists say the neolithic complex of stone carvings containing examples of world's oldest large-scale human-built sculptures offers insight into an ancient people's creative and spiritual expressions.
(CNN) — In a major new archaeological discovery, a Neolithic complex of 9,000-year-old stone carvings has been uncovered in Jordan's southeastern desert.
The find was recorded by a team of Jordanian and French archaeologists and announced on Tuesday at a press conference held by the Jordanian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
The site is believed to be a unique ritualistic installation dedicated to the hunting of gazelles, and features gigantic stone traps known as "desert kites," which the researchers say are the world's oldest large-scale human-built sculptures.
