⁨By Our Swords⁩.

⁨For Founding Day, Merak and the Heritage Commission set out to retell the nation's history without presenting heritage as something static (MUSE).⁩

The founders' swords narrate the story, from the birth of Diriyah, through the struggles of restoration, to the unification led by King Abdulaziz, each standing for a founding moment. The centrepiece is an original song in Nabati-inspired poetry set to a contemporary film score. Landmarks such as Qasr Salwa, Qasr Imam Turki and Al-Masmak Fortress appear as reflections on the polished steel, and at the end three swords merge into one blade: 'our heritage is not fragmented, but one continuous story of resilience and unity' (MUSE). The Heritage Commission's YouTube channel carries it as 'ثلاثة سيوف تروي قصة البداية في #يوم_التأسيس'.
