the inhabitants of Assyrian civilization in the Paleolithic period that date back to 2,00,000 years.

There was no Assyrian civilization or any other human civilization 200,000 years ago.

[Does so]

FTA:

“humans used rivers to reach deep into the interior regions of the Arabian Peninsula in ancient times”...

It’s always smart to live upstream. ;-)

The amazing thing is that SA hasn’t changed socially/culturally in all that time.

Musta been the Stanleys...still making tools, I think...

This has nothing to do with the Assyrian civilization. The Arabian peninsula has been a hot bed of Homo erectus finds. 200,000ya fits that time frame.

Climate change in the Neolithic. Who would have thought of it? /sarc

[Alas Babylon!]

I don’t think these humans were Homo Sapiens...

Homo Erectus? Neanderthalis? Heidelbergensis?

The Middle Paleolithic, this early in, didn’t see Homo Sapiens outside of Africa until 125,000 years ago—in the Levant.

Also, it was common for Erectus, Neaderthal and Heidelbergenis to use local stone, whereas Sapiens traveled many, many miles for quality stone to make tools. It’s one important clue when archaeologists are trying to find true sapiens settlements.

200,000 years? This is probably the tools of the current 3rs worlders over there. Probably left them there a few weeks ago

Did they have the “Craftsman” logo on them. If so they are still under warranty.

[snip] stone tools used by the inhabitants of Assyrian civilization in the Paleolithic period that date back to 2,00,000 years [/snip] — clearly there’s a translation issue, or the original source was incompetent. :^) Thanks nickcarraway.

In the article: used by the inhabitants of Assyrian civilization in the Paleolithic period that date back to 2,00,000 years.

but why stop at that age: According to the Saudi Heritage Authority, rare stone tools from the Middle Ages have been found in the Shuaib al-Adgam area of ​​Saudi Arabia. It can be inferred from this that the aborigines of the day made axes and other tools out of stone. Officials say these were made over 2 million years ago.

Is it 20 000 years ago?

[Grimmy]

And the culture there hasn’t advanced since.

[Red Badger]

Ok, which is it? 200,000 or 2,000,000?...................
