This is Catal Huyuk in modern day Anatolia. It was formed 7500 BC!

Anatolia was such a hodge podge of people coming together from all over the place. I'm afraid I know more about the post-Hellenistic period... the satraps, the Seleucids and all anything that was post-Achaeminids.
Again, though, most of what we know of Anatolia/Persia (not the same place, of course, but hopelessly confused in a lot of historiography) comes from their enemies, whether Athenian or Arab. So not exactly unbiased. __________________

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople Been a long time gone, Oh Constantinople Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night Every gal in Constantinople Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople So if you've a date in Constantinople She'll be waiting in Istanbul Even old New York was once New Amsterdam Why they changed it I can't say People just liked it better that way So, Take me back to Constantinople No, you can't go back to Constantinople Been a long time gone, Oh Constantinople Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks __________________

I think they painted things like that with colour, too.

Look at that detail. It's amazing. Three thousand plus years and it still holds up.

Oh, for sure. But when you look at such delicate details, the mind kinda boggles that they held up, that's all.
