Abstract

This research aims to study and publish a new variety of stone
structures for prehistoric Era that have not been published before in
the ―Halayeb and Shalateen‖ area in a documented scientific way, and
to compare them with their counterparts in Egypt and the Arabian
Peninsula, where many types of stone buildings spread in that
important Egyptian region south of Eastern Egypt, which proved
beyond any doubt the human settlement of these areas since
prehistoric era and the practice of various construction works using
the resources provided by the local environment.
The comparative study also confirmed its cultural continuity with the
civilizations of the Arabian Peninsula, especially the civilizations of
Yemen and Saudi Arabia, which are located on the opposite coast of
the Red Sea, through two routes, one of which is land through Sinai
Peninsula and then Jordan and northern Saudi Arabia, and the other is
maritime through Bab Al-Mandab strait across the coast of the Indian
Ocean. Then Yemen.
