Description

Here is a drawing of Çatalhöyük (also known as Catal Huyuk and  Çatalhüyük). 

Description/facts:
Bullet; Red Çatalhüyük was one of the world's oldest towns. It was the second one ever built (the first town was Jericho in Jordan). 
Bullet; Red Çatalhüyük's ruins are located in southern Anatolia, Turkey. 
Bullet; Red This town flourished in 6500 B.C making it older than Mesopotamia ;D It's also one of the coolest neolithic sites ever.
Bullet; Red Çatalhüyük's people were successful farmers. They were able to grow wheat and barley and raise cattle. The town also traded obsidian.

The houses in Çatalhüyük were rectangular, interconnected buildings with no doors. People entered the houses through holes in the roofs, which were reached by wooden ladders. This was good for safety, as it protected residents from enemies and wild animals. The ladders were simply removed when enemies were nearby to leave no obvious means of entry. The rooftops were like streets.

The walls were covered in drawings of vultures. It is also said that the people worshipped vultures.... leaving their dead for the vultures to eat and even dressing up as vultures for special occasions. (I have two vulture priests in this drawing at the back BTW).
