World oldest calendar found at 13000 year old temple in Turkey

Archaeologists have found some carvings carved on stone in Gobekli Tepe in southern Türkiye. Gobekli Tepe is a famous archaeological site in southern Türkiye, known for its large number of temples. The paintings found on these are the center of attraction for the world. time and mind A study published on July 24 in the journal (via) in which a 13 thousand year old calendar has been mentioned.

University of Edinburgh According to, the study says that there are 365 V shaped marks on the pillar. Researchers believe that each mark represents a day. At the same time, there are 12 lunar months in the entire calendar and 11 additional days. Apart from the V-shaped marks, researchers here have also found a bird-like demon printed on it, which also has a similar V-shaped mark around its neck. It is believed that this picture shows the summer solstice constellation of that time.

Another important thing about these paintings is that they might have been made around 10850 BC. And at that time there must have been an attack on the Earth by a comet and this carving must have been made to record it. Pictures show that people of that time could record their studies of the Sun, Moon, and constellations in the form of solar calendars.

Researchers believe that the impact of the comet attack would have been so great that it would have started an ice age on Earth. This incident must have been enough to cause cultural change in Gobekli Tepe. And as a result of this some new sect or religion might have started here. Edinburgh University engineer and study author Martin Sweatman says that the residents of Gobekli Tepe were very curious about the events happening in the sky and studied it continuously. It is possible that at that time their world might have been destroyed by a comet.
