Excavation Work at Göbeklitepe and Karahantepe: Human and Animal Sculptures Discovered

During the excavation work at Göbeklitepe, often referred to as the zero point of history, by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, a life-sized sculpture of a wild boar was unearthed. In the excavations at Karahantepe, a realistic human sculpture from the period has also come to light. This sculpture, an example of prehistoric art with a lifelike facial expression, stands at a height of 2.3 meters.

According to a statement from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, within the scope of the Stone Hills project, which sheds light on prehistory and has led to significant discoveries on a global scale, excavations were conducted at 9 archaeological sites in 2023. The latest findings include sculptures of humans and animals.

As part of the excavation work carried out by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, a life-sized sculpture of a wild boar made of limestone was discovered in the D structure of Göbeklitepe. This sculpture, which displays traces of red, white, and black pigments on its surface, is the first painted sculpture dating from that period to the present day. The wild boar sculpture found in Göbeklitepe was located on a platform adorned with decorations believed to represent an ‘H’ symbol, a crescent, two snakes, and three human faces or masks.

At Karahantepe, ongoing excavation work revealed one of the realistic human sculptures of the era, standing at a height of 2.3 meters. With a lifelike facial expression, this sculpture is considered one of the examples of prehistoric art. The sculpture was found anchored to the ground inside a chamber. In the area where the sculpture was discovered, there were also wall-mounted sculptures of vultures and stone plates placed on the ground, evoking the imagery of a deceased person with emphasized rib, spine, and shoulder bones, seated in a position.

A strange machine used in 1932 to achieve beauty. Another disturbing photo taken during the Victorian era. A man proudly posing with his collection of heads. Medical students practicing on a table that reads, “A human’s usefulness doesn’t end even after death.” A man wearing a special mask designed to treat cancer on his face and neck in England in 1924.

  Roma’nın En Hüzünlü ve Şanssız İmparatorlarından Birisi: Claudius Tarih boyunca cesareti, zalimliği, sertliği ve savaşçı ruhuyla tanınan imparatorlar oldu. Ancak bazı hükümdarlar, yaşamlarında derin duygusal unsurlar taşıyarak gözlemleyenleri hatta üzüntüye sevk edebildi. Roma İmparatoru Claudius da böyle bir şanssız hükümdardı. Claudius, M.Ö. 10 yılında İtalya dışında, Galya’da doğmuştu. Çocukluğundan beri tarihe büyük bir ilgisi vardı. Buna rağmen siyasete katılamadı. İlk kez, yeğeni Caligula ile birlikte 37 yılında konsül olarak göreve başladı. Caligula, Tiberius’un vasiyetiyle imparator olmuştu; Claudius ise devlet işlerinden uzak tutuldu. Fiziksel ve zihinsel rahatsızlıkları onu bürokrasiden uzak tuttu. O zamanlar, Claudius’un imparator olabileceğini düşünen olmamıştı. Claudius, doğuştan sakat bir ayağa sahipti. Omuzları ve dizleri zayıftı, başı titriyor, bazen ağzından tükürük akıyordu. Elleri zayıftı ve bazen heyecanlandığında veya sinirlendiğinde burnu akardı. Ancak ...

Source:  https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/understanding-how-liminal-space-is-different-from-other-places/ If you’re like most people, you may have noticed that there are certain places or situations where you feel off or uncomfortable. Such places can often be places such as empty bus stops and airport terminals. Often, these disturbing spaces can be described as liminal spaces. Liminal space comes from the Latin word “limen” meaning “threshold”. It may also be referred to as ‘liminality’. Such spaces often have a desolate atmosphere and are associated with an aesthetic disconnected from the concept of reality. At the same time, such places are waiting areas between one point and the next point in time and s...
