Coinciding with the exploratory visit of the Omani geological team to the province of Al-Mahra and the study of caves and their adventures, the Mehri Language Centre for Studies and Research participated in the visit of a number of caves and invasions with the team, and what had it been experienced (Teh) cave , located in the Shayt Valley of the Hat District, where entire murals of inscriptions were vandalized and uprooted, using drill tools, blurring important features about the history of this Gar, the history of the area in which it is located, where some of these wall inscriptions were written in Ancient South Arabian script, and perhaps some in Thamudic script. The Centre denounces and condemns such irresponsible acts, and invites the concerned authorities , represented by the Office of Culture, the Public Authority for Museums and Antiquities and the local authorities in governorates, to carry out their duties in preserving this issue. It also calls upon them to identify similar sites, develop a concept for their protection and assign the guards on which they are based.
