We will travel through time to more than thousands years in the past to talk about the stone age and how did those people survived during that time. On the other hand, we will use the time capsule to travel 300 years back to meet the founder of Saudi Arabia. We will visit some places that have emotional breath-taking stories related to king Abdulaziz and how did he unify the Kingdome of Saudi Arabia.
