Sayburc is close to Gobekli Tepe and this site dates back 11,000 years. The figure in the middle holds his genitals and is flanked by 2 predatory animals.

Instagram screenshot of an arkeolojihaber post, showing a niche in a drystone wall near the ground left of a larger stone pillar. In the open niche long bones and skulls are visible.
Where are the dead, you ask? - Always expected them in some wall, so it was just a question of time ... and #Sayburc apparently made the race. So far.
Torso and head of a human stone sculpture, apparently standing in a glass showcase standing in the landscape (grass and soil is visible in the background) - the rib cage es emphasised with carved lines, the bald head has a only vaguely depicted nose and thick lips and eyes with horizontal lines.
The more of these other #TasTepeler sites in SE #Türkiye is coming to light, the more fascinating the early #Neolithic of the region gets:

Have a look at this just announced sculpture from #Sayburc, emphasized ribs already hinting at death, but there's more ... 🏺💀
Of course, the phallus-flashing guy got all the headlines, but these early #Neolithic reliefs from #Sayburc, SE #Türkiye are much more fascinating, even beyond that.

Archaeological excavations in the village of Sayburç in the Şanlıurfa province of Turkey have unearthed important findings that will shed light on world history. The settlement unearthed during the excavations bears traces from the Neolithic period, about 11,000 years ago. The figures carved into the stones are considered to be one of the first examples of early social order and narrative in human history. This discovery is similar to Göbeklitepe and has the potential to reshape what is known about human history. This discovery provides clues about the first steps of social life and offers more information about the emergence of agriculture, sedentary life and religious beliefs. The Sayburç excavations could be a critical turning point in understanding the beginnings of civilization and allow us to reinterpret the Neolithic revolution.

A discovery that could rewrite human history: #Sayburc village sheds light on world history.
There are now archaeological excavations in this place where I spent my childhood. We were banned from entering the village and our houses were declared a protected area.

Screenshot of an article abstract, reading: "Sayburç a mid-9th millennium BC sitein the foothills of the Eastern Taurus Eylem Özdoğan, Department of Archaeology, İstanbul University A Pre-Pottery Neolithic site at Sayburç is currently being studied as part of the ªanlıurfa Neo -lithic Research Project – Taº Tepler (Türkiye), which is focused on the Neolithic Period at the ªanlıurfaPlateau. The settlement belongs to the early sedentary societies on the plateau, characterized by monu-mental buildings, T-shaped pillars, and rich symbolic elements that distinguish the region from its con-temporaries in Southwest Asia. A growing body of evidence indicates that rituals and the associated sym bolism and narratives play a pivotal role in the formation of the region’s early sedentary societies. The construction of special buildings in Sayburç, situated close to dwellings and accompanied by asso-ciated symbolism, illustrates the intertwining of the sacred with everyday life."
Oh, while we're talking about early #Neolithic #archaeology 🏺 - how about Eylem Özdoğan's latest paper (Documenta Praehistorica LI, 2024) on the ongoing #excavations at #Sayburc (yes, another of the #TasTepeler T-pillar sites) for some more weekend reading?

This #Sayburc relief caused some headlines last week and that phallus-flashing guy got all the attention.
But there's more than a #Neolithic dick pic! The overlooked second scene offering a great starting point to think about Neolithic #hunting...
