Jordan reclaims rare artifact after 40 years
Jordan recovered a rare archaeological artifact dating back approximately 12,000 years before Christ. It had been held in Australia since the 1980s. This piece is part of an engraved stone tablet and is considered the oldest known large sculpture in the world. It is linked to the Wadi al-Hama site and the Natufian culture in the Jordan Valley, providing evidence of human lifestyles before the spread of agriculture. The artifact was recovered during King Abdullah II's visit to Australia, marking an important step in the restitution of Jordan's archaeological heritage.
