Thanks for this informative video. I've been following the excavation since 2007 or so and am always happy to get this type of update. I find this and other sites of the Tas Tepeler culture fascinating. This period in human evolution saw a revolutionary and fundamental change in how people envisioned living spaces and how they drew sustenance from their environment. The fact that the artisans among them had the time to devote to carving and sculpture indicates that they were truly affluent hunter-gatherers. The time you took in describing how the sheltering structures are built to have as little impact on the site was brilliant. Cheers!
Thanks for your very kind comments. And you're right that this was a fascinating era in the region's history, probably with all kinds of social developments that we've barely started to figure out.
Thank you for the wonderful photos in this video. The wild boar statue is fantastic. To think of the artist or artists who made it, long lost, then discovered spectacular.
The benches seem high enough at 1.6 meters to serve as walkways or gantrys around the inner area; perhaps they kept animals in the central area using the gantrys/benches as places to feed/hunt them from in a ritual; have any animal remains been found on the site?
Seven birds in a row, under Pillar 18, the ones Dr. Lee Clare told me are not on site, with bullet points, and on video. Pillar 33 has "The Fox" aflame, Dragon, I say, compare to Babylonian Dragons. Pillar 18 holds one of these Dragons, very similar to Gilgamesh holding a lion, and it stands on the symbol of The Pleiades just like Babylonian art of standing on Bulls, Dragons, and Felines, indicating domination. I'm really curious as to how the Seven Birds in a Row are muddied up in the museum, seems there is a active conspiracy to obfuscate The Pleiades from the record, including modern text of Mesoamerica.
The row of birds is on the south face of Pillar 18's pedestal, so they're not very visible from the walkway and I wasn't able to get a good picture of them. You can just glimpse them a bit about 10:21
@@tedbanning9090 Yes, one has to stand adjacent to Enclosure B and use a telephoto lens. I've been working on this quest for 55 years and I have to watch all the videos to gather images as I can't get into the data bases. The mock-ups in the museum used to be clear, yet seems nobody looks down, and then they changed, obscured, so now the bottom shelf is even less desirable to shop from, alike in retail shops. What really gets me is that The Story of Mankind - Archaeologists don't even know the symbology of The Pleiades. The cave art people do... But most won't go there. One would think that our most recent meteor stream that is deeply embedded in all of our traditions would be well known. Ask an Astrophysicist, except the guy from Queen, and they don't know either! It is a monument to The Festival of the Dead, those who died in the space falls from The Taurids, just after the fact. I think it is even strange that spellcheckers don't know the word "Taurid"!
Nice vid. I think the Turkish authorities have done a remarkable job combining preservation, ongoing archeology, and public access and education.
Here's my continuation of my series on sites we visited during the World Neolithic Congress on November 6

The 'game board' you thought you saw near the beginning can be seen on the tops of the Ts at 6:21

The pillars are reused you can tell how they are built into later walls to support them
