Boncuklu Tarla is over 1000 years older and then Göbekli Tepe (a near by site) and much, much bigger. Like only 10% uncovered, if you want your mind blown look at Tarla as well as other adjacent sites. I wouldnt be shocked if by say 30 years from now - those interlocking sites/communities are referred to as our first known civilization.

@yayhandles writing in support of accounting is the big one as interlocking communities need to keep track of trade which is required on some form of scale. Farming I can see how monolith and religious sites can close those gaps, but writing or some basic form of accounting would be a requirement - agreed.

@BruceBoyde I think there would be a need for some form of language and accounting as well, even more so then political structure as even chimps have political structure.

To my knowledge there are Çayönü, Göbekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe, and Tarla all fairly close together look the paper: "Göbekli Tepe and the Identification of Temples in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic of the Near East" - there are a bunch of sites throughout the levant. @deleted-something

my understanding the issue with the Cuba site is combo of the govt of Cuba and depth of the site - both detract from folks deep diving (no pun intended). But yeah I would love to see that explored as well. @Caleb1874ya

The big one for me is record keeping / writing - the other hallmarks are easy to see as the scale of the communities keeps growing. Even the papers like "Göbekli Tepe and the Identification of Temples in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic of the Near East" brush over the insane scale of the sites - especially as most of the larger ones arent excavated. @novh4ck

bro you just wrote gibberish @danieljob3184

solid point, makes you wonder what the timelines will be when the many sites in the region are fully excavated. I also hope Turkey is investing in tourism - this could become a massive 360 degree win for their economy as well as for human history. @mrnobody2873
