I make a popular science video and all the emperors learn from it!

【Third place, Çatalhöyük. 】

【The name Çatalhöyük may sound like an ancient spell. 】

【In fact, it is indeed a microcosm of a mysterious civilization. 】

【This ancient city, listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is located on the Konya Plain in present-day Turkey. 】

【Its origins can be traced back to 7500 BC to 5700 BC. 】

【It is a seemingly ordinary, but extremely extraordinary Neolithic settlement. 】

【Imagine that thousands of years ago, the residents built closely connected houses here, with no streets or squares. 】

【People walked on the roofs like ants, and entering the houses required openings in the roofs. 】

【Yes, you heard it right. 】

【These ancient houses have no doors or windows, and the roof is the main passage for people! 】

【The houses here are almost all integrated, with only thin walls separating them. 】

【In other words. 】

【If your neighbor sneezes in his house, you will definitely hear it clearly. 】

【In addition to this amazing architectural structure, the archaeological discoveries here are equally fascinating. 】

【The interiors of Çatalhöyük's houses are decorated with rich works of art. Murals and plaster reliefs depict animals such as leopards, eagles, bulls and wild boars, as well as hunters and religious rituals. 】

【Even more peculiar is that the residents here bury their deceased relatives directly under the bed on the clay platform of the house. 】

【That is to say, they sleep on the graves of their ancestors every day! 】

【Life and death are intertwined here into an indescribable intimacy. 】

【In one house, archaeologists also found a strange mural of a smoky mountain that looked like a volcanic eruption. 】

【What puzzling thing happened in Çatalhöyük? 】

【What caused the settlement to eventually disappear? 】

【And there was no evidence of malicious destruction or large-scale fighting. 】

【Did the residents voluntarily and methodically move to another place to escape the drought? 】

【But where would they move to? 】

【It's all a mystery. 】

【Second place, Jericho Tower. 】

【In Jericho, one of the oldest cities in the world, there is a mysterious and ancient Jericho Tower. 】

【Its construction can be traced back to around 8000 BC! 】

【This makes it one of the earliest stone monuments in human history. 】

[Although the tower is only 8.5 meters high, its construction process and purpose remain a mystery. 】

[The Yelig Tower was first discovered in the 1930s. 】

[This ancient tower, built with unprocessed stone, with 22 steps inside. The tower is conical in shape, with a diameter of about 9 meters at the bottom and a diameter of 7 meters at the top, and the wall is about 1.5 meters thick. 】

[It is estimated that the construction of the Jericho Tower took about 11,000 working days, equivalent to nearly 40 years of engineering at the time! 】

[Considering the level of civilization and technology in 8000 BC, such a construction project is undoubtedly a huge achievement, comparable to the Egyptian pyramids. 】

[However, the tower was built, but there are still many different opinions about its purpose. 】

[Some people once thought it was an ancient tomb. 】

[But this theory was quickly overturned because no traces of burial were found in the tower. 】

[Another more popular view is that the Jericho Tower may have an astronomical purpose. 】

[This view originated from the discovery that at sunset on the summer solstice, the shadow of a hill in the west fell on the Jericho Tower. 】

【This may suggest that the monument is related to the study of the length of day and night. 】

【But no matter what its original purpose was, the Yeliger Tower shows the desire of prehistoric humans for permanent buildings and their early achievements in technology and social organization. 】

【This tower is not just a pile of stones, it is a symbol of the progress of early human civilization and a vision of future urban life. 】

【First place, Göbekli Tepe. 】

【Göbekli Tepe, this ancient site in Turkey, like a code of time, takes us back to the ancient times 11,500 years ago. 】

【It is 3,000 years earlier than the Egyptian pyramids and 6,000 years earlier than Stonehenge! 】

【It is one of the oldest stone monuments known to mankind. 】

【In other words, when most humans were still hunting with stone tools, a group of forward-looking architects were already busy on the Anatolian Plateau. 】

【Not only did they build one of the earliest religious structures in the world there. 】

【They also left behind a fascinating puzzle. 】

【The design of Göbekli Tepe is exquisite, and its core is a series of huge trapezoidal stone pillars. 】

【These stone pillars are arranged in concentric circles. 】

【Each stone pillar is 6 meters high and weighs ten tons. The sides are carved with reliefs of humans and various animals, including lions, scorpions, foxes and vultures, as well as a series of mysterious abstract symbols. 】

【The construction process of Göbekli Tepe is full of mystery. 】

【Archaeologists speculate that it would take at least hundreds of workers to build such a large group of stone monuments. 】

【How strange. 】

【After the construction of these stone monuments, they would be buried in sand every few decades, and then new stone circles would be built. 】

【This constant updating also brings up the mystery of the true purpose of Göbekli Tepe. 】

【Some archaeologists believe that this is a cathedral on the hillside, a place for mysterious religious ceremonies. 】

【InThe relief carvings on the stelae often depict people without heads, and many smashed skulls have been found in the town of Gobekliş. 】

[These skulls were scattered between the stelae, as if some ancient and mysterious religious rituals had been carried out. 】

[And the most fascinating thing is. 】 (For the most exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

[The construction of this site long predates the rise of agricultural activities, which changes our understanding of the development of human civilization. 】

[The traditional view is that humans first learned agriculture and then built cities and religious sites. 】

[But the existence of Gobekli Tepe suggests that the opposite may be true! 】

[Religion and social structures are likely to be the driving force behind human settlement. 】

[Although Gobekli Tepe has revealed a lot of important information about early civilization, it is still full of unsolved mysteries. 】

[We don't know how these huge stelae were moved and carved. 】

【It is also unclear what specific rituals and activities humans performed here at the time. 】

【More excavations and research may provide us with more clues. 】

【007 But in any case, Göbekli Tepe will continue to attract the attention of archaeologists and historians. 】

——"Many foreign civilizations disappeared overnight. Is it a coincidence or can't make it up anymore?"

Yuan Dynasty.

Kublai Khan scratched his head, "In other words, these may all be fake? Unfounded things."

He was shocked for a long time.

In the end, none of them had complete historical evidence.

Either a stone city or a stone tower...

Both are easy to copy.

In addition, there are ruins that have been faked, which makes the above list less reliable. .
