1. Title: A Milestone from the Late 8th Century: A Glimpse into the Rich History of Islamic Art at Darb Zubayda, National Museum, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia This image showcases a milestone from the late 8th century AD, discovered at Darb Zubayda, an ancient caravan route in Saudi Arabia. The milestone, made of either granite or basalt, measures approximately 50x42x13 cm and is now proudly displayed at the National Museum in Riyadh. The milestone is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Arabian Peninsula during the Islamic Middle Ages. The intricately carved inscription on the stone is written in Arabic script, a scripture that has been the foundation of the Islamic world's literary and cultural traditions. The calligraphy on the milestone is a prime example of the early development of this art form, which would later become a hallmark of Islamic art. The inscription on the milestone marks a significant milestone in history, both literally and figuratively. It records the distance and direction to important Islamic sites, such as Mecca and Medina, providing essential information for travelers on the Darb Zubayda caravan route. The milestone's inscription also reflects the importance of the Arabic language and the Quranic script in the Islamic world during this period. The milestone's discovery and preservation is a reminder of the enduring history and cultural significance of the Arabian Peninsula. Its intricate design and historical importance make it a must-see attraction for visitors to the National Museum in Riyadh. This milestone is a testament to the artistic and historical achievements of the Islamic world during the Middle Ages and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and influence the world today.
