You’d have seen many rock formations on internet. The Al
Naslaa Rock formation may puzzle you to see two standing stones and flat faces
are completely in natural shape. A perfect slit between rocks seems a machine
work, but it is amazing natural. Al Naslaa Rock is located in Tayma oasis,
Saudi Arabia. The archaeologist believes Tayma has been inhabited from ancient
times.
The standing stone of Al-Naslaa truly are a big mystery. Two
stones split in half have created confusion among experts ever
since their discovery. Al Naslaa Rock is most photogenic petroglyphs in Tayma
about an eight-hour drive out of Riyadh. The small pedestals have given added
support to boulders. So, archaeologist not sure how rock formation remains
balanced here? How did the rock cut in the middle? The fascinating megalith
stones were split in half with look like a LASER precision.
Take a deep breath and believe the locals of Arabian Rock Art
Heritage site when they tell you it’s a naturally occurring phenomenon, though
we have no idea how it came to be. Perhaps the ground shifted somewhat
underneath one of the two supports and the rock split.
It could also be from of volcanic dike of some weaker mineral
that solidified there before everything was exhumed. Or, it could be an old
pressure crack you see a parallel crack just to the right of it that has been
pushed/pulled apart some.
Also it could be an old minor fault line, since fault motion
often creates a zone of weakened rock that erodes relatively easier than the
surrounding rock. It all recommends that at some point it must have been worked
on by very precise tools, some have even ventured out and said laser-like
tools.
Many legends said, it is one of the greatest mysteries found
by man. The incredible ancient stone structure entices thousands of tourists
each year who come to Al-Naslaa. And observe its perfection and balance, which
has given rise to myriad theories that try to explain its origin.
