Fertile past unearthed from sands of Arabia

Researchers believe that the Arabian Peninsula is the stepping stone of Africa. People travelled to it because it was fruitful 100,000 years ago and it has muck which is useful for plants. A research was done by European research council which expected to overturn the long held academic bias that dismiss the region fruit ground for the research in the faith of that its climate made the protection of any useful Palaeolithic record not possible. They started digging places such as northern Saudi Arabia, empty quarter , Oman and UAE searching for facts. The first stage is identifying historic and prehistoric water sources, lakes and  rivers through studying NASA's images. Then to walk out along the edge of the lakes and rivers shown in the image. However they discovered an evidence of human settlement on the beach of an old lake in northern Saudi Arabia.
