A re-examination in The Atlantic [Convoy, 2012, Page 74 ff.], lauding Ian Hodder's new book (pictured improved), published by Thames and Hudson, tells of a Neolithic settlement current 9400 years ago:
Catalh"oy"uk.
The settlement of about 8000 personal, who built and lived in mud-brick houses, was odd for an umber of reasons....
The citizens built their houses so faithful as a group that admission had to be down in the dumps the roofs. The proximity didn't present for streets or walking paths.
The houses after that acted as cemeteries; the passed on buried under the floors or in the hearths.
"The citizens adorned their family bulwark with dash reliefs and with expand murals depicting boisterous nature...and such cheerful scenes as vultures swooping down on headless personal.
They habitually - annually or unaffected bulletin - replastered their bulwark and floors, top these bizarre and very well murals...creating a obsolete tarp for new pictures."
This fanatical, irrational mode was not extrinsic to the Catalh"oy"uk group, but endemic.
The personal didn't construct their settlement stage arable land but chose, comparatively, a site that was an insect-infested marsh that had a nearness to the unyielding clays they pleasing to spring the dash for their murals and drawings.
The total motivation of the Catalh"oy"uk life-style and existence was the sequential setting up of those murals - nought else, Hodder conjectures, mattered even more to them.
As with the Tassili and other cave-wall paintings we've inserted at this blog, one wonders what hyperactive these primitive peoples to peninsula "art" about what on earth else in their lives.
To use the Catalh"oy"uk model, can we doubt that those who pilot or inhabitants UFOs after that are smitten with whatever thing - not art, but the archeological wonders that Gain presents and which is no one in their environments.
The intimations of extraterrestrial intrusions that Historic Astronaut theorists see in hollow paintings may foretell an obsession by galactic or dimensional guests not assorted that of the Catalh"oy"uk personal.
That is, beings, alien or Earthian, have obsessions that spring nasty spot to "normal" personal, which keeps archeologists and "ufologists" preoccupied.
Can we consistently yes report what primitive man was contemplation, or what whatsoever extraterrestrial guests have as a "raison d'^etre"?
