In 2020, researchers tracking a dry lakebed spotted shallow marks in the silt and found human footprints from 120,000 years ago

Archaeologists discovered 120,000-year-old human footprints in northern Saudi Arabia, revealing a wetter, greener past. These prints, alongside those of ancient animals, suggest early humans ventured inland from Africa much earlier than previously believed, following natural waterways. This find challenges existing migration theories and offers tangible proof of our ancestors' extensive journeys.
