There's a new archaeological exhibition at #Berlin's James-Simon-Gallery just opened, showing our finds from #GöbekliTepe and other #TasTepeler sites never before seen outside Urfa officially opened tonight - and it's spectacularly well worth the visit:

¡Conoce a #UrfaMan, el “influencer” original de hace 12.000 años! 🤯
Mucho antes de las civilizaciones… él ya estaba aquí, posando.
Visítalo en el Museo de #Şanlıurfa y descubre al verdadero pionero del throwback.
Likely, at one point, they all seem to have been part of actual human sculptures - of which the find from Sanliurfa Yeni Mahalle find (so-called #UrfaMan) might be the so far most prominent example:

The Daily Göbeklitepe #245 - Ice/Stone Age Egypt Week 5!
Göbeklitepe in the late afternoon is magnificent. Being at the top of the hill, they have a 360 degree view of their lands. Perfect for Ancient management.
Cheers!

The Daily Göbeklitepe #232 - Breaking Ancient News!
Pillar B6 begins where The Vulture Stone ends above Petra. The mountains from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea Snake are what the Ancients were describing. Just beautiful!

The Daily Göbeklitepe #229 - Ice/Stone Age Egypt Week 4!
The Dendera Relief has amazing details! I quickly lined up the Snakes and Kneeling/Praying Man in the desert for this overlay. It’s stunning!
Back to Sunday Rest. Enjoy!
Cheers. 😎

I moved the overlay up a bit so the legs are the representing the mountain passes and the body of the animal are the lands above them. The Pi shape being the Red Sea.

What a great week. There is enough material for a third week. We’ll connect Göbeklitepe to the Pharaohs on this map of Lower Egypt.

Here is the Google Earth overlay as promised. I moved the head a bit more into the sea, the knees still match Cairo.
Fantastic! 👏
Next: the Desert Lion roars!

In tonight's episode of #TreasuresoftheWorld @bettanyhughes explores the beautiful region of #Cappadocia and the rich #history of #Şanlıurfa, including a visit to the #UrfaMan. Watch #Türkiye #DelightsoftheEast at 6.50pm on @Channel4. @decappeal
Mevcut literatürde bilinen insan boyutundaki (193 cm uzunluk) dünyanın ilk heykeli olan “Urfa Adamı (Urfa Man)” veya “Balıklıgöl Heykeli (Balıklıgöl Statue)”'ni görmediyseniz rahat olun Şanlıurfa müzesinde sizin ziyaret etmenizi bekliyor.#Urfa #urfaman #balıklıgöl #proftahirozcan
Harran is only 44 km from the city #Şanlıurfa, or simply #Urfa, from which was found the very ancient #UrfaMan - dated c. 9000 BC.
Admittedly, Elif's characterization of #UrfaMan, the life-sized Yeni Mahalle sculpture, as "wasted snowman" somehow hit a nerve too. 😀
"Mouthless, carved from pale limestone, with obsidian eyes in sunken sockets and hands clasped to his groin, he resembled a wasted snowman."
