Rather, all we can do is speculate on the date of their origin using anthropology, although it may not be accurate, even if it is closest to the truth.
Any archaeological piece is then classified in a chronological sequence based on several data, the most important of which is the location, as well as the study of geological archives in order to ensure that the piece is contemporary with the soil or sediments, then the comparisons are made. with fossils, rocks and rock layers, which helps determine contemporaneity or lack of conformity. Once the remainders are successful, the remainders can be determined. The age of the object using the absolute dating technique.

One of the oldest prehistoric arts is the statue of Birkhat Ram (Birkhat Ram), which dates back to the early Stone Age and was discovered in occupied Palestine. It is considered one of the oldest rock arts discovered at this time, although many scholars doubt this. and attributed it to natural erosion before Alexander became a Christian.
