Bookmarked 805 weeks ago
gobekli tepe kurdish: gir navok is a hilltop sanctuary built on the highest point of an elongated mountain ridge about 15 km northeast of the kurdish town of urfa in northern kurdistan the site currently undergoing excavation by german archaeologistsand was erected by hunter-gatherers in the 10th millennium bc ca 11500 years ago before the advent of sedentism gbekli tepe is the oldest human-made place of worship yet discovered until excavations began a complex on this scale was not thought possible for a community so ancient the oldest occupation layer stratum iii contains monolithic pillars linked by coarsely built walls to form circular or oval structures so far four such buildings with diameters between 10 and 30m have been uncovered geophysical surveys indicate the existence of 16 additional structuresstratum ii dated to pre-pottery neolithic b ppnb 7500 - 6000 bc has revealed several adjacent rectangular rooms with floors of polished lime reminiscent of roman terrazzo floors the most recent layer consists of sediment deposited as the result of agricultural activitythe monoliths are decorated with carved reliefs of animals and of abstract pictograms these signs cannot be classed as writing but may represent commonly understood sacred symbols as known from neolithic cave paintings elsewhere the very carefully carved reliefs depict lions bulls boars foxes gazelles asses snakes and other reptiles insects arachnids and birds particularly vultures and water fowl vultures also feature in the iconography of the neolithic sites of atalhyk and jericho it is believed that in the early neolithic culture of kurdistan and the near east the deceased were deliberately exposed in order to be excarnated by vultures and other birds of prey the head of the deceased was sometimes removed and preservedpossibly a sign of ancestor worship there are freestanding sculptures as well that may represent wild boars or foxes as they are heavily encrusted with lime it is sometimes difficult to tell comparable statues have been discovered at neval ori and nahal hemarthe quarries for the statues are located on the plateau itself some unfinished pillars have been found there in situ the biggest unfinished pillar is still 69 m long a length of 9m has been reconstructed this is much larger than any of the finished pillars found so far the stone was quarried with stone picks bowl-like depressions in the limestone rocks may already have served as mortars or fire-starting bowls in the epipalaeolithicwhile the structures are primarily temples more recently smaller domestic buildings have been uncovered despite this it is clear that the primary use of the site was cultic and not domestic schmidt believes this quotcathedral on a hillquot was a pilgrimage destination attracting worshipers up to a hundred miles distant butchered bones found in large numbers from local game such as deer gazelle pigs and geese suggest that ritual feasting and perhaps sacrifice were regularly practiced heregbekli tepe is regarded as an archaeological discovery of the greatest importance since it profoundly changes our understanding of a crucial stage in the development of human societies apparently the erection of monumental complexes was within the capacities of hunter-gatherers and not only of sedentary farming communities as had been previously assumed in other words as excavator klaus schmidt put it: quotfirst came the temple then the cityquot this revolutionary hypothesis will have to be supported or modified by future researchthis article was partially taken from wikipedia
