The commission described the finding as an important addition to the kingdom’s growing record of early Islamic heritage.
According to the agency, the inscription was among 1,774 archaeological discoveries recorded during the first and second phases of a large-scale survey in Al-Mahd Governorate.
Survey teams also documented 173 previously unknown archaeological sites, highlighting the region’s rich historical significance.
Among the findings were rock carvings bearing the name of Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second Caliph of Islam, as well as ancient Arabic poetry inscribed on rocks.
The Heritage Commission reported that the discoveries include 1,259 rock art drawings, 461 Islamic inscriptions, 34 Thamudic inscriptions, 11 stone structures, three palaces, two caravan milestones, and four wells.
Umar ibn al-Khattab, a close companion of Prophet Muhammad, ruled the early Muslim community from 634 to 644 CE and played a major role in the expansion of the early Islamic state.
