Mysterious Lost City with No Streets: Çatalhöyük's Secrets

#shorts #archaeology #lostcivilizations #factshorts #ancienthistory

Çatalhöyük was one of the world’s first proto-urban communities, located in southern Anatolia, where modern Turkey is today. This ancient settlement thrived from 7500 BC to 6400 BC during the advanced Neolithic period and was excavated in 1958 by English archaeologist James Mallaart. With a population of 5,000 to 7,000 people, Çatalhöyük was a unique society with no streets—houses were tightly packed, and people entered through holes in the ceilings. These openings also served as ventilation. The walls were plastered smooth, and the dead were buried beneath the floors or beds inside homes. In some cases, skulls were removed after burial, possibly for ritualistic reasons. While Çatalhöyük began as an egalitarian society, over time it became less so. There were no clear public buildings, but some homes featured ornate murals, leaving many aspects of life there still a mystery. Ultimately, factors like overcrowding, social hierarchy, and climate change led to its abandonment before the Bronze Age.
