World’s oldest solar calendar discovered in ancient Turkish site

Scientists have discovered the world’s oldest solar calendar in Turkey, which is engraved on walls.

In the ancient region of Göbekli Tepe in southern Turkey, there are remains of a complex that is possibly 12,000 years old.

According to the research, the V-shaped markings on the pillar at this site represent the days of the year, and 365 marks are divided into 12 months.

Moreover, this calendar depicts the summer season in the form of a bird like.

The engravings also show the movement of the sun and moon, along with sketches of the changes in constellations in the sky.

In addition, this brief ice age is known as the Younger Dryas.

It is noteworthy that most scientists in the past had claimed that there was no evidence of such a comet impact.

The experts involved in this new research speculated that Göbekli Tepe might have been constructed as a memorial to this comet impact.

They suggested that it seems the inhabitants of Göbekli Tepe were keen observers of the sky, and this behavior could be expected after the devastation caused by the comet’s impact.

The findings of this research were published in the journal “Time and Mind.”
