Rooftops of Çatalhöyük
“Anatolian plateau, c. 7000 BCE. The mudbrick honeycomb of Çatalhöyük spreads to the horizon, each house entered by ladder through the roof. Foreground shows women weaving on bone shuttles and grinding einkorn in querns; midground reveals plastered shrines painted with leopards and vultures; smoke from countless hearths drifts toward distant volcanic peaks.”
