jmccr8 Posted December 12, 2021 #27 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Are we sure that they did not have female mud wrestling going on at that time, could be why there are no drains at the bottom of the pool? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wistman Posted December 13, 2021 #34 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Yesterday Ancient Architects posted this video w/ extensive drone footage of Karahan Tepe site - beautiful overhead views of the hill and the excavation, detailed interior pans including close-ups with some data.

jethrofloyd Posted December 13, 2021 #35 Share Posted December 13, 2021 My own theory is that these large circular enclosure(s) were used to fight. A fight between warriors, and for a fight with a large animals. Something roughly similar to the Roman Empire, and the Gladiators culture. Those faceless statues could be fighters killed in the 'neolithic gladiators' fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, it is quite illogical the swimming pools should have been buried. Besides, I'm not even sure so long-ago in the Pre-pottery Neolithic era, a friends and a enemies existed at all.

jethrofloyd Posted December 16, 2021 #45 Share Posted December 16, 2021 The 'Boncuklu Tarla' a site near a city of Mardin. It is probably the first and the oldest of all these ''Tepe's''. It's even older than Karahan Tepe and Gobekli Tepe. Hard to believe it was just the swiming pool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
