Ancient Architects | 12,000-Years-Old! YOUNGER DRYAS Site of Çakmaktepe: 2024 Taş Tepeler Update @AncientArchitects | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 28 minutes ago.
Precisely 60 km due west of Karahan Tepe is one of the 12 Tas Tepeler sites of SE Anatolia, a site with origins older than Göbeklitepe, Karahantepe, Harbetsuvan Tepesi, Sefer Tepe and Sayburç.
This is Cakmaktepe, an early Pre-Pottery Neolithic A site that was discovered using satellite image analysis in 2021. In the same year it was discovered, excavation work began, a joint project by archaeologists from Çukurova University and Şanlıurfa Museum, part of the Tas Tepeler Project. In 2022, the University of Tsukuba, Japan, was also included in the excavations.
I made a video on this long-lost settlement 2 years ago, but with more excavation and new published information, I thought it was time to re-visit Cakmaktepe, and give you an up-to-date overview of this very important site.
Watch my previous video here: youtu.be/SzICrlk58iA?si=PF6w7Wap7_Bn2S-1 and please enjoy this update with some new information, new pictures and new explanations and ideas.
