Musatils in Saudi Arabia 7,000 years old.

 Massive stone structures in Saudi Arabia may be some of oldest monuments in the world. "It is quite possible that these structures would have been visually spectacular, and perhaps quite extensively painted."Huw Groucutt. 

Few artifacts associated with them and seem distinct from the "kite" structures. Too low to be animal corrals.

The Saudis definitely want to get their hands on nuclear technology

Flynn-backed plan to transfer nuclear tech to Saudis may have broken laws, say whistleblowers. No shit. The Saudis will probably get their hands on nuclear technology anyway through Pakistan. That's probably why the U.S. is falling over itself to make that sale before that deal goes down, because the plan didn't die with Michael Flynn being charged.

India & Pakistan tensions heat up. MBS pops in to say hi

The news of the suicide bombing of a military convoy in Kashmir, leaving 41 dead, slipped right past me. (Work's been hectic. i'm working sick with a sinus infection & short-handed, because others are calling in sick.) I've no idea what Modi plans to do with this, but that article says it'll help him in upcoming elections.

Jaish-e-Mohammed is the group that allegedly responsible for the bombing.

Meanwhile, Saudi Crown Prince MBS to visit Pakistan for investment deals. These two stories aren't directly related, but they will be. Pakistan provides troops to Saudi Arabia for its invasion of Yemen.
