Is this the OLDEST NARRATIVE scene in the world?
The Pre-Pottery Neolithic site of Sayburç in Turkey is yet another fascinating ancient complex in that part of the world. One of its most impressive features is a carving in the side of a bench, the principle figure of which depicts a man holding his phallus. Experts think the relief carving tells a story, which would make it the oldest narrative scene in the world. #ancient #ancienthistory #prehistory ✨ JOIN MY CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0Hs5t0U6Uf993Tba22YmKA/join ✨ SUPPORT VIA PATREON https://www.patreon.com/MegalithHunter ✨ FOLLOW ME ON SOCIALS Instagram & Facebook: @MegalithHunter Twitter: @Megalith_Hunter ✨ REFERENCES Özdoğan, E., 2022.
