At around 12,000 years old, Gobekli Tepe is the world's oldest megalithic site - and it has a "sister site" called Karahantepe. A recent discovery in the world's oldest religious sanctuary, Gobeklitepe, "Potbelly Hill" in Turkish, which is described as the "zero point of history" has revealed a painted wild boar statue. The UNESCO World Heritage site of Gobeklitepe has changed the way historians and archaeologists think about the cradle of civilization. And there is so much more to be discovered. A painted wild boar statue was discovered during ongoing excavations in Gobeklitepe. The artifact, which contained red, white, and black pigment residues on its surface, was the first painted sculpture found from its period to the present day. [svg]Wild boar statue.

The wild boar sculpture found in Gobeklitepe was situated on a pedestal adorned with decorations believed to include an H-shaped symbol, a crescent, two snakes, and three human faces or masks.

The similarity of the human statue with the relief found in the Sayburc excavations in 2021 is striking. One of the panels in the Sayburc depicts a figure holding their phallus in his right hand. However, new discovered statue depicts a figure holding its phallus with both hands. This seated statue, which strongly evokes the image of a deceased human with emphasized rib, spinal, and shoulder bones, was discovered within a niche fixed to the ground.

Studies carried out in Sanliurfa province in Turkey in recent years have enabled the determination of settlements indicating the existence of a different phase within the Pre-Pottery Neolithic period. The region of these settlements is named "Tas Tepeler," literally meaning Stone Hills. Tas Tepeler is an Anatolian and Upper Mesopotamian region that held the oldest established settlements, spanning 200 kilometers from one end to the other.
