DStretch and Painter Version. Petroglyph V7 Khatm Al Melaha, Kalba, Sharjah. Ancient Nubian Ibex with Anthropomorphs stand out, while other images are likely no longer visible. Dating back to the Neolithic era, circa 5th-4th Millennium BCE [Fossati 2019 Messages from the Past: Rock Art of the Al-Hajar Mountains (Oman)].\nKhatm Al Melaha shines as a spectacular archaeological site on the coast of the Oman Sea near Kalba in Sharjah, UAE. Boasting one of the largest rock art sites in the UAE, it also features stone houses, shell middens, stone tombs and other notable features that confirm this site has been occupied from at least the early Holocene to the 19th century.\nOver 175 stones with petroglyphs were documented, and nearly 400 motifs were identified. Each rock with a glyph was assigned an ID number and GPS coordinate. In one day, a remarkable amount of data was collected: 25455 terrestrial photographs, 5244 drone photographs, 44 drone videos, and 182 precise GPS points (+/- 1cm) were captured.\nProcessed in Reality Capture, refined in Substance Painter.
