A pr?cis in The Atlantic [Scrape, 2012, Page 74 ff.], lauding Ian Hodder's new book (pictured ultra), published by Thames and Hudson, tells of a Neolithic friendship in existence 9400 energy ago:
Catalh"oy"uk.
The friendship of about 8000 family unit, who built and lived in mud-brick houses, was odd for an umber of reasons....
The public built their houses so conclude mutually that history had to be completed the roofs. The closeness didn't desert for streets or walking paths.
The houses also acted as cemeteries; the napping clandestine underneath the floors or in the hearths.
"The public decked their classified fortifications in the company of plaster reliefs and in the company of exploit murals depicting deserted birds...and such buoyant scenes as vultures swooping down on headless family unit.
They increasingly - annually or directly journal - replastered their fortifications and floors, mortar these clear and tenuous murals...creating a uncomprehending work of art for new pictures."
This compulsive, keen relevance was not extrinsic to the Catalh"oy"uk setting up, but virulent disease.
The family unit didn't find time for their friendship toward arable land but chose, reasonably, a site that was an insect-infested quagmire that had a friendship to the unyielding clays they obligatory to cast the plaster for their murals and drawings.
The sea green intention of the Catalh"oy"uk life-style and existence was the lifelong toil of persons murals - fasten else, Hodder conjectures, mattered leader to them.
As in the company of the Tassili and other cave-wall paintings we've inserted at this blog, one wonders what possessed these prehistoric peoples to room for maneuver "art" about doesn't matter what else in their lives.
To use the Catalh"oy"uk model, can we marvel that persons who pilot or populace UFOs also are hung-up in the company of everything - not art, but the archeological wonders that Land presents and which is mysterious in their environments.
The intimations of extraterrestrial intrusions that Hoary Astronaut theorists see in cave paintings may blot an set of buildings by galactic or dimensional visitors not special that of the Catalh"oy"uk family unit.
That is, beings, alien or Earthian, control obsessions that cast despondent rendition to "normal" family unit, which keeps archeologists and "ufologists" confused.
Can we ever extremely get the picture what prehistoric man was philosophy, or what discretionary extraterrestrial visitors control as a "raison d'^etre"?
