Urfa region hunters and farmers.

 Urfa region hunters and farmers.

Portasar / Gobekle tepe megalithic constructions are well known. Another site with even more impressive statues was found in nearby Karahantepe. In 2021 another remarkable finding from Sayburc ( see the map for the locations of those sites)

Human reliefs were made in Sayburc around 9000BC. Apparently by early farmers of West Asia and fertile crescent.

It becomes evident that the hunter gatherer society that invented the farming and domesticated animals had a quite complex society. Without bronze tools they must have spend quite a large time to polish stones and carve the rocks.

Ancient DNA from neighbouring sites such as Nevali Chori, Cayonu are available. Well they don't have alien DNA but were situated in the intermediate position between Anatolian hunters and Pre Pottery N, Levantine Natufians and farmers from South Caucasus, Armenia Neolithic farmers. You can see them in the blue hexagon between three red circles on the 4th picture PCA
