The astonishing discovery of hundreds of thousands of tombs, varying in shapes and sizes—some reaching dimensions of hundreds of meters—would not have been possible without the profound passion and immense interest of Saudi field researcher and anthropologist, Dr. Eid Al-Yahya. These intriguing tombs are expected to reshape our understanding of the history of the Arabian Peninsula, as well as the history and civilization of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in particular. (See Map-1.) صور Map-1: Archaeological and Geographical Sites in Arabian Peninsula. Among the most famous and remarkable patterns is the one that carries historical and philosophical significance, which we have named the "Pharmacy and Medicine" symbol. This is due to the striking resemblance between the architectural design of this pattern and the symbol of pharmacy and medicine known in the modern world, which the people of the Arabian Peninsula conveyed to the civilizations of Mesopotamia and subsequently to later civilizations such as the Greek and Roman. The astonishing model we will delve into is an architectural pattern that is currently unique to Mount Tuweq. Its design and overall shape open horizons for exploring the philosophy and beliefs of the people of the Arabian Peninsula, who designed this tomb according to principles and motives related to the world of life, health, and healing from diseases through the depiction of symbols of living organisms around them. Here, we specifically refer to the symbol of the snake, which was embraced by civilizations of the nearby and distant regions. More precisely, it is a tomb shaped like a snake coiling around a staff from its beginning to the head. Its distinctive model is found at the top of Mount Tuwaiq in the city of Al-Ghat (refer to Figure-1), with the following coordinates: 26°09'30.8"N 44°55'12.9"E." It should be noted that the first person to look at the shape of the stone building was researcher Muhammad Al-Rashid, in his book "Atlas of Stone Structures" (Al-Rashid, 2019, p. 98), where he reviewed the building as a stone structure without mentioning that it was a type of burial ground belonging to the symbol of pharmacy in the ancient and modern world. صور div class="ratio" data-cycle-desc="Figure-1: The Pharmacy and Medicine Tomb on top of Mount Tuwaiq in the city of Al-Ghat, with the following coordinates: 26°09'30.8"N 44°55'12.9"E." style="background-image:url(https://www.saudigazette.com.sa/uploads/images/2024/05/21/2387940.jpg)" Figure-1: The Pharmacy and Medicine Tomb on top of Mount Tuwaiq in the city of Al-Ghat, with the following coordinates: 26°09'30.8"N 44°55'12.9"E.
