In Plain Site
Çatalhöyük is an archeological site situated on the Konya plain in Turkey, and boasts extensive ruins of a group of prehistoric proto-cities. These hive-like structures were entered through the roofs, and fostered a tight-knit and unique communal structure of living. One of their most famous features were their burial practices: the dead were left on the rooftops to be de-fleshed by birds, and the skeletons were disassembled, and reassembled with other remains. They were decorated and painted, then these relics were shared between different homes where they would be enshrined beneath the floors. Children are thought to have been raised between different households as well. The inner walls of the small cell-like rooms were meticulously and repeatedly plastered and whitewashed. One of their favored objects [of worship?] are immense bull or Auroch horns that decorated many of the chambers. This culture flourished in the 7000's B.C.E.
