Global oldest calendar discovered at 13000 generation used temple in turkey


Scientists in Türkiye have got a 13,000 year old calendar. Here such carvings have been carved on a huge stone pillar, which scientists are considering the world’s oldest sun and lunar calendar. It is estimated that this calendar may be designed to mark the attack of a disastrous comet. Let’s know what the study came out about this old discovery.

Archaeological scientists have found some carvings in Gobekly Tepe in southern Türkiye that have been carved on stone. Gobekli Tepe is a famous archaeological site of southern Türkiye which is known for its large number of temples found. The painting on these is the center of attraction for the world. A study published on July 24 in a journal called Time and Mind, which mentions the 13,000 year old calendar.

According to the University of Edinburgh, the study says that the Pillar has 365 marks of V shape. Researchers believe that each mark is showing one day. At the same time, there are 12 lunar months throughout the calendar and 11 additional days. Apart from the V-shape marks, the researchers have also found a bird-like demon, which has a similar mark around the neck. It is believed that this picture is showing the summer Sankranti Nakshatra of that time.

Another important thing about these paintings is stated that they must have been built around 10850 BC. And at that time a comet would have been attacked on Earth, which would have been carved to record. Pictures show that people of that time could record their study of Sun, Moon and Nakshatras as a solar calendar.

Researchers believe that the effect of comet’s attack must have been so much that he would have started a ice age on earth. This incident must have been enough for cultural changes in Gobakli Tepe. And as a result of this, a new creed or religion must have started here. Martin Sweatman, an engineer at Edinburgh University and author of the study, says that Gobakli Tepe residents were very keen on the incidents in the sky and continuously studied it. It is possible that his world would have been destroyed by a comet at that time.
