| Abstract | ||
| This research aims to study the significance of the movement of the human figure in rock art in the Owainat area, where the human figures had many kinetic implications that distinguished each form the other. The movement in the inscriptions figurative forms is the first pillar that led to the change of meaning and the use of these forms as appropriations of words in the later historical stage, These movements in the inscriptions had connotations that had a specific meaning, Many kinetic implications of the human form appeared in the rock art of Jabal AlAwainat such as the movement of the hands or the appearance of hunting tools or fighting tools, so extrapolations appeared for scenes indicating (hunting), (animal restraint), (hunting with traps), (fishing with noose) and (hunting). with ropes) and (ground traps fishing). The implications of the movement of the human figure were the best evidence of the meaning of the figure, which must be paid attention to, studied and worked to be extrapolated accurately to reach the true meaning that the ancient man was seeking, which is what the research will deal with in some detail. | ||
