The Discovery<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Recent research published in the journal Time and Mind<\/em> by Martin Sweatman et al.<\/strong> suggests that carvings found at G\u00f6bekli Tepe<\/strong>, a prehistoric site in southern Turkey<\/strong>, may represent the world\u2019s oldest known sun-and-moon calendar<\/strong>.
The calendar dates back to nearly 13,000 years ago (c. 10,850 BCE)<\/strong>, placing it well before the advent of agriculture.<\/p>\n

G\u00f6bekli Tepe: A Unique Prehistoric Site<\/strong><\/h2>\n

G\u00f6bekli Tepe is globally recognised for its massive stone pillars<\/strong>, arranged in circular enclosures and decorated with elaborate carvings of animals and abstract symbols<\/strong>.
The site challenges conventional views that monumental architecture emerged only after settled farming societies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Calendar Evidence<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The researchers analysed markings chiseled into a large stone pillar<\/strong> at the site.
Key observations include:
\u2022 The pillar contains 365 V-shaped symbols<\/strong>
\u2022 Each symbol is interpreted as representing one day<\/strong>
\u2022 Together, the markings suggest 12 lunar months plus 11 additional days<\/strong>, closely matching a solar year<\/strong><\/p>\n

This indicates an advanced understanding of time-reckoning and celestial cycles<\/strong> among prehistoric hunter-gatherer communities.<\/p>\n

Link to a Catastrophic Event<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The study proposes that the calendar may not have been purely observational, but commemorative in purpose<\/strong>.
According to the researchers, the carvings may have been created to record a catastrophic comet strike<\/strong> believed to have occurred around 10,850 BCE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If correct, this would imply that early humans used symbolic systems not only to track time but also to memorialise extraordinary cosmic events<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Anthropological Significance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

From an anthropological and archaeological perspective, this discovery is significant because it:
\u2022 Pushes back the origin of formal calendrical systems<\/strong>
\u2022 Demonstrates sophisticated astronomical knowledge<\/strong> in pre-agricultural societies
\u2022 Highlights the role of ritual centres<\/strong> in early cognitive and symbolic development
\u2022 Supports the idea that complex belief systems existed before settled village life<\/p>\n

Why This Matters for UPSC Aspirants<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This discovery is important for understanding:
\u2022 Cognitive evolution of early humans
\u2022 Relationship between astronomy, ritual, and architecture<\/strong>
\u2022 The nature of Pre-Neolithic societies<\/strong>
\u2022 Challenging linear models of cultural evolution<\/p>\n
