Researchers from Khalifa University have made a groundbreaking discovery using AI technology to uncover a 5,000-year-old civilization hidden beneath the Rub al-Khali desert. By employing a machine-learning algorithm that analyzes satellite images, they identified archaeological sites buried under the sand. This innovative approach allows for the detection of structures that traditional methods could not reveal.
The AI-powered algorithm utilizes Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to penetrate dense sand layers, making it a game-changer in archaeological research. The findings at Saruq Al-Hadid have prompted Dubai Culture to initiate excavations, potentially leading to more significant discoveries. This advancement not only enhances understanding of ancient settlements in the UAE but also has global implications for uncovering lost civilizations in arid regions worldwide.
