In Turkey, archaeologists have discovered an ancient statue
that’s nearly eleven thousand years old. It shows a man
clutching his genitals.

They also found a life-sized statue of a wild boar. These
statues were found in Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe, two
of the world’s oldest temple sites.

   Well ... clearly guys haven't changed in 12,000 years  :-)

   Surprised he can keep it up at that age !


   Karahan/Gobelki Tepe ... these were buried temple sites
   (deliberately or naturally buried is unclear) very near
   today's Turkish/Syrian border. Dating is somewhere between
   13,000-11,000 years. These sites feature very large megaliths,
   as impressive as anything at much-newer Stonehenge. Some
   are very abstract, kinda "T" shaped, tall stones PROBABLY
   representing humans (or aliens if you like those crappy
   'documentary' TV shows) while others are more recognizable
   human figures - including Mr. Dong here. There are often
   animal shapes worked in (rep maybe of tats the model had ?).

   In any case, these sites pushed back estimates of when
   'civilization' - large-scale coordinated human activity -
   began by 4000 years. These were temple *complexes*, lots
   and lots of structures.

   Given the time and geography, the temple builders likely
   seeded the two earlier-known civs in the Levant and in
   Mesopotamia. 13,000 years ago the ice age was ending
   and what's now semi-desert would have been a lush green
   temperate zone.

   Won't hurt to KEEP checking this general area, may be
   even older structures yet to be found. Karahan was
   only found because some kid mentioned he'd seen some
   very similar stuff sticking out of the dirt about 10
   miles south of Gobekli. Improving multi-spectral aerial
   survey tech should speed up such searches considerably.

   Alas northern Syria and kinda along the Turkish line
   are longstanding WAR zones - which makes things a bit
   tricky for archeologists.
