“...More than half of the victims were women (13 women, 10 men). And most of the injuries were on the top or back of their heads, suggesting the victims were not facing their assailants when struck....”

Hmmm..... looks like they had “Yutes” back then also.

Good Gravy! Betty is nowhere close to Bam-Bam and Barney! It’s like she’s standing outside of the car!

That place has long been a mystery to me. Their artwork, burial practices etc. Can’t figure out why they were there. Obsessed with death or maybe just dead bodies. They buried their dead inside the houses, under their sitting places, it was like some weird mausoleum. Creepy people. I wonder what their DNA was? Originally from where?

9,000 years ago, the earth was “formless and void.”

There was a sort of temple district apparently, which just wound up being the first area excavated -- although, Mellaart was principal excavator there, and he was a fantasy merchant.

...residents came and left through ladders to the roofs of the houses...
I think they just fell off the ladders a lot.
