As is the case with historical sites, the Bir Hama region in Najran preserves several traces confirming the contact and continuity of civilizations and their openness to each other. It was not surprising that the inscriptions immortalized women, given their status in religions, and civilizations raised their destiny and status to the point of deification, such as Ishtar, Aphrodite, and Hestia. The Hama well, or the Hima of History wells, is one of the stations of the caravan routes coming from the south of the Arabian Peninsula to its north. Researchers confirm that (Hama) includes in an open museum the most important sites of rock paintings in the Kingdom, as there are more than 13 sites that contain drawings of hunting and grazing scenes and shapes. Human figures drawn larger than life size, and many of them wear a covering on the head, while men's beards appear clear and around the necks of human figures are necklaces and collars, while some men wear anklets on their legs, perhaps to produce a sound commensurate with the movements of dance and music, while women's clothing, as in the inscriptions, is limited to short clothes It is a loincloth that wraps around the middle. Weapons are also present in scenes that represent fighting or hunting, mostly in the form of spears whose sticks are decorated on the middle. In addition to spears, gears, bows and arrows appear in the drawings, drawings of knives and blades, and scenes of groups performing dances with musical instruments resembling a rabab. There are many inscriptions on the site, the most famous of which are the inscriptions of Mount Hamata.
Among the inscriptions is the inscription of the last king of Himyar, known to Arab historians as (Yusuf Dhu Nawas), found in Mount Hamata, and the inscription is dated 633, according to Himyarite time, corresponding to the year 518 AD. He ordered the writing of this Musnad (Yusuf Asar Yathar), the king of Saba, (Dhul Raydan), Hadhramaut and Biment, invoking the God of heaven and earth to bless him and those with him of sons and daughters, and he praises God for the victory he bestowed upon his enemies, the people of Najran and the knights, and those who supported them from the Ethiopians. He managed to destroy their church in Najran, and he won by killing 12,500 men and capturing 11,000, and from the spoils 200,000 heads of camels, sheep, and cows.
