一項新發現可能會改變我們關於人類發展的想法。
在沙烏地阿拉伯剛有一項重大的發現。歷史學家已經找到證據證明人類大約在九千年以前就開始騎馬了。截至目前，一般認為人類是在五千五百年前首度在中亞地區騎這種動物。一位沙烏地的官員Ali al-Ghabban說，這會改變我們對早期人類發展的看法。
這個證據是由在沙烏地阿拉伯挖掘的人所發現的。他們找到了箭頭、研磨穀物的工具和其他編織材料的工具。一項科學測試顯示這些物品有九千年之久。測試在這個地區發現的人類遺體後也有同樣的結果。
歷史學家相信我們首度在五萬年前發現馬的存在。但是據他們說我們到很久之後才開始騎馬。上千年來，人類也許養馬來吃肉、取皮甚至是取用馬奶。Al-Ghabban說早期的阿拉伯社會非常先進。
(Culture) Arabians May Have Ridden Horses 9,000 Years Ago
A new discovery could change the way we think about human development.
An important discovery has just been made in Saudi Arabia. Historians have found evidence that people there rode horses about 9,000 years ago. Until now, it was thought that humans first rode the animals in central Asia about 5,500 years ago. Ali al-Ghabban, a Saudi official, said that this changes what we think about early human development.
The evidence was uncovered by people digging at a site in Saudi Arabia. They found arrowheads, tools to grind grain, and other tools to weave materials. A scientific test suggests the objects are 9,000 years old. And another test on human remains found in the area gave the same result.
Historians believe we first came across horses 50,000 years ago. But they say that we didnt ride them until much later. For thousands of years, humans probably kept horses for their meat, skins, and perhaps even milk. Al-Ghabban says that early Arabian societies were very advanced.
