Artificial Intelligence Finds 5,000-Year-Old Civilization Beneath Dubai Desert
8th March 2025
Artificial intelligence has discovered ancient civilizations over 5,000 years old hidden beneath some of the world’s largest deserts, including one in the heart of the Dubai desert, without the use of a single shovel. In the Dubai desert, remains of human activity over 5,000 years old have been detected, including a buried city.
The discovery in the Dubai desert revealed ancient settlements and communication networks, indicating the presence of roads and settlements.
Advancements in remote sensing and data analysis using artificial intelligence have transformed archaeology, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of excavations. The integration of AI and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) proved especially powerful. SAR technology provides high-resolution images of structures buried beneath the earth’s surface, capable of penetrating natural barriers such as sand, vegetation, and ice.
