While at a #certain part of the world, certain group of people believe in that they are the chosen people from some 3000 years ago; hence, they are superior race to other human race and are entitled to live in better conditions and on a land which “they” believe in is promised to them. However, if we can travel back to the era of #Çatalhöyük people #NeolithicEra people who lived around 7000BC in metropolis of the time (like present day lstanbul, Madrid or Tokyo of the time), we come across strikingly different lifestyle which we would not expect from hunter&gatherer&farmer era people. What is striking is that researchers found out that these people lived in equal conditions, no one was superior from the whole group! Similar size houses, no sign of a king or high level religious figures. A finding that shocks present day human mentality as all the system we live in today is designed in favor of those who believe they are better, superior human race! Something that make us think are we the primitive ones?! Did we advance in humanity or not?! If you @go_konya , make sure to visit this #unescoworldheritagesite since 2012 to find out how we humans forgot better ways of living together in harmony. The site has a well designed visitor center that is fun to explore by all age groups. #wanderlusters

An amazing exhibition in the museum and in the open air. Replicas of houses 9-11 thousand years ago are an immersion into the depths of history. Each exhibit is provided with a detailed and understandable explanation in Turkish and English, and the museum has interactive screens with the possibility of watching videos with explanations by scientists. You could spend the whole day studying anthropology. From these places there was a settlement in Europe. Our ancestors were conceived on bones - they buried their dead under the floor, right where they slept.
