Thousands of inscriptions and archaeological sites across the Kingdom, documented from recognized academic sources. Photograph any inscription to get its reading and translation instantly, explore an interactive map, and see real artifacts in augmented reality.
Four ways to explore the heritage of Arabia up close, even without an academic background.
Photograph any inscription and the app identifies its script (Thamudic, Nabataean, Musnad…), reads it, translates it, and suggests the period.
Explore inscription and archaeological sites across the Kingdom visually, categorized and easy to browse, even offline.
Ask it about any script or historical period and get a simple, clear answer.
See detailed 3D models of real artifacts and place them right in your space through your phone camera.
The inscriptions of Arabia are among the richest records of ancient humanity, yet their study is scattered across academic databases, often out of reach for the visitor or the curious.
Irth brings these documented sources together in one place and puts the reading of an inscription in your hands: photograph it with your phone, learn its script, period and meaning, and get to know the archaeological sites of the Kingdom before and after you visit.
Irth does not invent information. Every reading rests on real sources and is open to correction.
Our database unifies 4 documented academic sources (OCIANA, DASI, DAAA, DiCoNab), classified according to the OCIANA standard used in the field.
Every analysis result shows its confidence level, and when the model is unsure it shows the closest similar inscriptions instead of guessing.
You can correct any wrong reading. Your correction becomes training data that improves the system's accuracy over time.
