Catalhoyuk

Archaeologists are excavating the remains of a Neolithic town. 9,000 years ago, this place was one of the world's largest settlements. At a time when most of the world's people were wandering hunter-gatherers, as many as 10,000 people lived at Çatalhöyük.

I think that the hand skeleton has 6 fingers.

Because human time is calculate arround number 6, so 60 minuts are 1 houre, mounth are 12 how 12 fingers.

Old human calculate was doing with finger, why the calculate time is base 6 if the human have 5 fingers?

XXXYezi;)

PS: perhaps in the past existed persons with 6 fingers or 3.

No no!  human had at that time sure 5 finger but maybe he calculated with fingers while he had his hand in his trouser pocket and for this reason came he on 6 ;-)

I'd love to see this place... but I'd guess that random tourists are not welcome.

Nope they were not sleeping at all. Nowadays Turks are still getting burried on their side! Its a ritual so its not a coincedence.

@yenomcream

yes

yes you are

[fliegeroh]

That bull head motif is fascinating. Makes me think they were part "rancher" because the cow was such an important animal.  I saw the exact same motif in Mexico, 9000 years later.

@volvodieselclub "Chengiz Khan" was a Turk and he lived around 10.000BC? HAHAHA what the hell are they teaching you at Turkish school? "Chengiz" lived between 1162–1227 AC. The Xiongnu empire which I think you're referring to, was definitely not in Anatolia. And you say it yourself, Turks are from eastern Asia, around Mongolia, NOT Anatolia.
