The past is a strange place: A newly discovered sculpture from the Pre-Pottery #Neolithic #TasTepeler site of #Karahantepe, depicting a man riding a feline predator, appears like a reversed reflection of another sculpture found earlier at the same site. 😆

Es existieren neben #GöbekliTepe noch weitere kleinere Tempel-Anlagen in der türkischen Wüste, ebenfalls unfassbare 11,5k - 12k Jahre alt:

Aaaand ... sorry, not sorry: This one here from #Karahantepe definitely wins the cutest Neolithic boar contest. 🤷‍♂️

As well as other new faces (left: large sculpture head from also #Karahantepe) - which somehow seemed familiar (right: miniature mask(?) from #Göbeklitepe).

With some newer finds like this vulture from #Karahantepe.

As long as we've been excavating at early #Neolithic #GöbekliTepe, one of the key points when showing visitors around was that - in contrast to the naturalistic life-sized human sculptures - the larger T-pillars, although clearly anthropomorphic, never had faces.

😲 Turns out, at nearby #Karahantepe some of these pillars *do* have faces now:

wonderful!

Şanlıurfa Karahantepe'de binlerce yıllık bir ilk! İnsan yüzlü, T biçimli dikilitaş keşfedildi. Taş Tepeler Projesi kapsamında gün yüzüne çıkarılan bu eser, bölge tarihine yeni bir boyut katıyor. Ne anlama geliyor olabilir?

Karahantepe'de inanılmaz keşif! 🗿 Taş Tepeler Projesi kazılarında ilk kez insan yüzlü T biçimli dikilitaş bulundu. Neolitik döneme ışık tutan bu buluntu, tarihin seyrini değiştirebilir.

In case anyone's interested in a bit context beyond a tongue-in-cheek comment (sorry bout that, Turkish Airlines 😉):

THY's referring to the Neolithic #TasTepeler sites in SE Türkiye here, to latest reports about "bread-making activities" from #Karahantepe:

Well, don't say these early #Neolithic #TasTepeler sites in SE #Turkey won't offer a surprise anymore.

From #Karahantepe comes now, with yet another new #sculpture, some variation of familiar #iconography. 🙌

#PrePotteryNeolithic hunters likely were aware of these properties - they did experiment with related materials, as numerous figurines (e.g. from #NevaliCori), sculptures (e.g. from #AinGhazal), even a few small vessels made of gypsum plaster (e.g. from #Karahantepe) demonstrate.

This is how archaeology documentaries should be: informative and with a host who's genuinely interested science

Karahan Tepe is an archaeological site close to Göbekli Tepe and archaeologists have also uncovered T-shaped stones from Pre-Pottery Neolithic Age 10.000 BC #StandingStoneSunday #karahantepe

It’s a place you've probably never heard of, but even nowhere is somewhere
