- Sırçalıtepe is located in the volcanic Cappadocia region of Turkey, within the borders of the Kayırlı village in the province of Niğde.
It’s a 12-metre-high mound, covering an area of 210 by 170 metres and recent excavations have revealed a 9,500-year-old aceramic Neolithic settlement and obsidian workshop with well-preserved architectural features and chipped stone finds.
The site is just a few kilometres away to the two primary sources of Obsidian in central Anatolia and the obsidian finds at Sırçalıtepe are numerous.
This is another truly ancient and exciting discovery in Turkey and please watch this video to learn more about it and see all the pictures released so far to the media.

Great news again.
That region is looking more important every day.
Such findings shows a complex society, pointing to a, somehow, settled community.
Much obliged for keeping us up to date
👍🏽😘
it is interesting that DNA analysis of people in the diverse areas of Spain, France, Ireland, England and Scandinavia tend to lead back to the migration out of Turkey and surrounding area
Maymand is a 12.000 years old cave village in Iran. Inhabited since. Shepards and farmers. Very similar to Göbekli Tepe. If you want to know, how this settlements worked: Visit Maymand!
History is alive.
This is a fascinating site that tells wonderful details about the people that once lived there. Thanks for sharing it with us Matt! Always enjoy these.
Thanks Barry
one of the things i love. evidence of every day life!
@@floydriebe4755 Hey Floyd! I know right! I always enjoy finding out about how people lived, day to day.
Terrific as always! Imagine running the obsidian trade 9500 year a ago
Great collection of obsidian tools. Thanks.
👍
Almost half a million subscribers, good for you brother! Thanks for another mind blowing video
Numbers continue to slowly creep up :)
Obsidian is a marvelous stone. A little bit hard to work, but when you do it’s stunning. I think you’re right that trade from the site is a likely scenario. Thank you for another Tepe site. I will gladly watch more. They are so well preserved and have so much to offer us about 9000+ years ago.😊
is it not a type of glass ???
@@davidwhiren817 I have heard it referenced as volcanic glass. No clue how large they can get or the geological process that creates them sorry
@@kariannecrysler640 I have seen a beautiful large boulder of obsidian about 4 feet long, 2 feet high and between 2 and 3 feet wide. This was in the state of Nevada. It might have been larger, as it was in situ, sticking out of the matrix.
It was on land owned by the USA, so I gave up the fleeting idea of extracting it.
I was raised in the southwestern USA: I collected “Apache tears” and other obsidian stones in my childhood. I have always been fascinated by it.
Cheers!
Another great news from Turkey. I could travel my whole life between Egypt and Turkey ... maybe someday😏
Ha - not a bad life!
I'll go with you! 😆
For sure these first people were black. We just need to discover the real truth.
@@virginiabossett6810 😆😆😆 how woke
Yes i wish we could travel…between…there as well 🥲
As a Ydna G2a mtDNA K1a carrier, I get excited every time Matt uploads a video about my ancestors homeland, my closest match on my SNP, was found in Boncuklu which dates to around the same time as Gobeklitepe site.
Well i'm not really surprised, it's known that turkey is a very old settlement area, people have been living in the area for a very long time. Why not, Turkey is a very beautiful country, the country offers everything a person needs, I think in the past as well as today, the country has always been a bridge between Europe and Asia
So well done as always. I would love to go to Turkey one day and see all these amazing sites. Things just keep getting older and older. Love your channel!! 👏👏👏
Quality mate, just became a loyal member too. Thank you for bringing this history to us.
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
wow what a fascinating site I look forward to more updates👍
Having followed your channel for several years now & being a junkie of the ancient earth & antiquity , I just thought that I might now go on & thank you for all that you have been for me & helping to feed my interests in such a quality way that you have !!! You are always interesting & always informative & I wish you Gods speed & blessings as you continue on with your pursuits & sharing them with us !!! I appreciate you !!!
Why, why am I so fascinated by this?!
Again.
Thx Matt!
Just looking at that whole area gives me the impression that there are a couple more settlements awaiting discovery, it does seem to be a couple of tepees surrounding the area of this discovery, Turkey has been an archeologists dream!😉
Yeah, I noticed a couple of large mounds
thank you for share this awesome discovery😀😀😀😀
Thank you Matthew. Looking forward to your take on the discovery in the future.
Superb as always.
Always enjoy your work. Thank you for your dedication to this effort.
One man's trash is another man's treasure - especially old trash.
Especially with regards to archaeology!
Oooh! Looking forward to seeing more!
Like a glimpse into the past. Fantastic finds
I love your videos thank you so much!
Thank you
Great video
Thank you! ❤️
Thank you!
Thank you.
Awesome!
Ah have not heard of this site before thank you.
Been watching this channel for a few years now.
That knowledge of controlled heat seems logically like a direct precursor to pottery. It’s fascinating to see the development across time.
They were astonished by the results of the mighty volcanoes………?
Excellent 👌
Ancient Architects propriétaire estimable et fiable, Matt the Muhendes of ancient Anatolian mysteries, has once again brought us news of another amazing find. This find provides more substantial evidence of other finds suggesting early use of coloring, drainage, whitewashing, and of what appears to be, related to obsidian and associated tools, specialization and specific production sites, if not production lines! Our ancestors were not the dumb brutes that many have assumed them to be. Thanks again, Matt, for providing your trademark explanation with appropriate charts, maps and photographs. Best wishes, from a fan!
Fascinating.
Turkey is the key to our past
Im hoping to visit Türkiye in the next couple of years. I've added this site to my list of archaeological sites.
I want to visit Göbekli Tepe and/or Catalhöyük at the very least. Or maybe Boncuklu Tarla.
Where do you get the pictures from your pictures?
Execellent........and architects have only just scratched the surface? Oh please.
Anybody else noticing that the more we look the more we find? Me thinks there was more going on a few thousand years ago than merely hard scrabble existence and the like. Far more.
Is the source of the obsidian known as being local or did they trade for it from elsewhere? I'm assuming it was in the vicinity and that's why they set up shop right here. Great find!
3:00 sounds like they burried the bones with animals to not be discrupted, sounds like the second hole got disrupted and left alone as people confused the remains for animal and left it mixed up.
May be the industrial city exporting obsidian products to all Anatolia.
Perfect location. Could be a very important site
Definitely looks like people lived and worked there. Pretty sure more discoveries will be made. Great upload as usual👏🏻
¡Que bueno! Haces unos vídeos fantásticos , cada uno mejor que el anterior. ¿Para cuando un vídeo in situ? Turquía o Egipto (¡que maravilla!) u otros lugares como Los Millares, Almería. Lo tengo más cerca. Me encantaría ir contigo aunque sea de ... técnico de iluminación. Lugares ancestrales. Magnífico trabajo

porqué no estudiar a fondo la micolatría en almería ‽
publicado Seguro
@@jorgegonzalez-larramendi5491 - De acuerdo pero qué es "micolatría"? Suena a adorar a los micos = monos pero no puede ser.
The decorated bone object at 1.52 looks VERY similar to the atlantis ring design!
Happy to hear you've traded a-ceramic for proto-ceramic because it never sat well with me :)
A little sus when you see a 3 yr olds bones mixed with animal bones and a couple feet away a oven……🤔
👍🏻👍🏻hi Matt
Hey Nancy! Hope you’re well
Thought it was the Alien head at 4:16!
To me, it seems reasonable that the sites at Gobleki Tepe may have been built into the side of the hill like some "underground" houses are constructed in modern times. This makes it predictable that the burying looks intentional.
Best Regards,
Darling

I’m Still perplexed by the buried bodies at a knapery. The children most of all.
Commented before that Turkey is the true start of human civilization. They may have been the progenitors of early Egyptian civilization.
No. To begin with there was no "Turkey" back then. To continue, it was a very peripheral area in the wider Fertile Crescent. To follow up, there were other centers of agriculture and civilization, notably in China (but also independently in the Americas, etc., even Papua and Aboriginal Australia had their own kind of independently developed Neolithic). To add: these people probably spoke proto-Vasconic and went on to settle much of Europe... but not other regions, India continent was settled by Elamo-Dravidians, who followed a similar chronology but at another end of the Fertile Crescent: in Southern Iran, for instance.
As for Egypt a thousands times no: Egyptian language (now Coptic) is an Afroasiatic language (i.e. related to Semitic, Berber, Cushite, etc.), which is almost certainly original from Africa (only Semitic is Asian in that family). Egypt surely had strong interaction with Palestine but not so much with Anatolia, which is only clearly influential in Europe.
Maybe that's actually the cradle of civilization
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
👍
Obsidian would have seemed like a gift from the gods. Any evidence of ritual worship at the site ?
Seems like there should be a lot more digging taking place in Turkey!
It is more and more clear that South Anatolia was the region where civilisation got a first real boost following the end or the Younger Dryas.
Please add google map coordinates...
It took me absolutely ages to find it! When I’m at my computer in a few hours I’ll do it 👍
How the hell did they make perfectly round tiny holes in rock??
The site would be good if you did not over insinuate the last Vow of each sentence
So was Anatolia a fallback survival position for at least a couple of thousand years people running from Siberia from Ireland from Central Europe from Asia
Also Hellenic
Early Turkish factory? I have a dishwasher made in Turkey so they are still busy. Cheers
What does Tepe mean because it seems to be in every one of these sites
I think it's Turkish for hill. That's why it's in all these sites.
@@patrickcol1489 thanks good to know.
It's the same as Arabic "tell", Greek "magoula", etc. In archaeology it refers to artificial hills or mounds produced by building mudbrick homes atop of older ruined ones.
sounds like all the bones of the animal reliefs at gobekli tepe were found here..
does obsidian have a signature structure that is reflective of the area it came from or was mined ? such as atomic structure and composition, is obsidian found in the Americas differ from obsidian from Turkish areas ?
They do, there is some great research papers mapping a stone age trading network of Obsidian that was traded all along the fertile crescent and even into the aegean, early obsidian trade in that region really was dominated by just a few sites.
Being a volcanic region it was certainly mined locally (and probably exported to other places, as it was a very demanded stone).
🤙
Any body got a link on lapping obsidian? Is it easier to work than stone?
th-cam.com/video/xv1n5JqcGJg/w-d-xo.html there you go chap.
a lifetime art
a certain heating is applied to get a blade that will shave ...
AFAIK, it's more like knapping glass, which can be done. However the sharp cutting edge of obsidian is unique, even better than modern industrially produced scalpels (some surgeons prefer obsidian because its edge is so truly mono-molecular that it doesn't cause pain if used properly, even in nerve-severing surgery).
@@LuisAldamiz Wow that's cool, is that legit?
@@TimmiTification - The knapping part I'm only somewhat certain, refer to knapping channels here at YT for more data. But the monomolecular edge (self-sharpening even, I believe) is a well-known issue among prehistorians and surgeons, you can search for more info online, as I've done on occasion myself.
looks a bit like a mudflood area with a lot of water channels, as why would anyone leave their tools behind when a city becomes unused obsidian tools would not be cheap
Great video - thanks! It's sad that the land has become so arid and unproductive. Is that from overuse, climate change, both, something else?
I have a question...did they bury the bodies like super duper asap??? Cuz I'm pretty sure rigor mortis wouldn't allow for folding a body into the fetal position to easily with rigor set in... just a thought
Rigor mortis only lasts 1-4 days after death.
@@DeathAngelHRA dang so they just let the body rot there till its ready to fold lol icky lol
Cool but man, the low tone drop at the end of every sentence....
Have you read the book 'The Dawn of Everything' by David Graeber and David Wengrow?
So exciting! The people of 9,000 years ago probably weren't much different from us in many ways. I wonder how the small buried children died? Perhaps disease or accident
How would one date obsidian?
Here is a good article explaining your question.
Take her out to a nice restaurant, take in a movie, that sort of thing...
Well, as I say, they date the bone tolls found along side them, as well as the human remains to get a good gauge.
As far as I know of, there's no direct way. However as AA points out often they can date something within the context that the obsidian tool is found. This is why archaeologists and anthropologists will often tell you it's the context that an item is found that's more important than the actual item itself. The surrounding area may reveal others factors such as climate conditions and food sources of the site.
@@catman8965 skim through the article I posted above, it's got some good insight.
I know almost no history. What happened to the forest?
but, what is a meetah?
So youtube is forcing you to do shorts..... Man they are so controlling on your creativity.
Well, to be fair, I’m quite enjoying the variety as well.
seems to me that they were very civilized and not hunters gatherers more than 10,ooo years ago!
Couldn’t listen. The slackjaw became too much. Sad

That tone and vocal delivery seems to make any sentence sad and depressing

NEWS: *DREAM STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELA*
But...shouldnt people back then lived in caves?
Some did but even in the typical "age of caves", which is earlier (Paleolithic) people lived in tents and huts most of the time: there weren't readily available caves everywhere and anyhow their lifestyle was seminomadic and even those who lived part-time in caves sometimes needed to move to where there was none.
DNA? Not yet fossilised, right?
1:15 i think that is actually just drug paraphernalia.
Brandon......
for some reason after 10 minutes of attempting this one video out of all the others on youtube will not play. click on anything else it plays, tried refreshing, restarting a new youtube browser, and restarting browser all together then on a new browser and still didnt work. i give the fuck up. fuck you internet
But how do archeologists determine gender?!
DNA and shape/size of the bones.
It's almost like gender and sex are related.. crazy stuff.
They determine sex via the shape of the bones, which often show sexual dimorphism (notably the hips and the skull).
DNA test can also say a lot, you know XX or XY. But guess this site is too recent a discovery for that to be available yet.
hello matt and welcome to the youtube comments. please read further to get the latest ancient history mad delusions and independent "hot takes" from around the world.
Sounds exciting
@@AncientArchitects hahaha
Ok we get it. People lived before us and had tools. Had children. Needed heat and shelter. I’m so glad that we have these groups of people doing this hard work. But why
Just human interest. Learning about our ancestors in the early formative years of civilisation.
@@AncientArchitects 👍
why do you end your sentences in such a weird way?
I’m trying to understand your question?! The man is a great speaker and I find no issues with his sentence construction, so either you are trying to be rude or you’re learning the English language. Hopefully it is the latter. Have the day you deserve 😊
Think of it as slow motion sports broadcasting.
That weird way the narrarator talks..makes these videos unwatchable for me
Every sentence sounds like a balloon getting its air let out
Take a note from Mark Felton
cannibal sumerians
Almost certainly not Sumerians.
From the ruins of past shall the evil line come again.
these buried cities in turkey are 40,000 years old and older
No.
@@LuisAldamiz yes man has been alive on this planet for nearly a million years, it's called evolution
The earth is only about 6500 years old. God created us perfect so no wonder we discover things that we can’t understand today. Its because of sin and God’s curse on us. We have been on the decline ever since. Repentance and trust in Jesus is our only hope. God bless. 🙏🏼✝️
The only cursed one is you: cursed with blindness.
Falsifiable geological and other scientific evidence proves Earth is over 4.5 Billion years old. What falsifiable evidence do you have that counters this scientific evidence, and what evidence do you have that scientifically demonstrates a 'God' exists that can also be falsifiable?
@@Aurealeus
What’s your falsifiable evidence? You simply claimed that you have it.
@@shipwright6122 I'm sorry, my friend but that's not how this works.
You made the initial claims that "the earth is only about 6500 years old" and that a "God" exists, and I challenged it. The burden of proof is on you.
Do you have evidence or not? I doubt you can provide any....
@@Aurealeus
I don’t have to prove anything. You can believe whatever you want. No evidence is good enough for a scoffer anyway. Why do you think the earth is old? Because it looks old? We’ve been brainwashed since kindergarten with that crap. What other universe do we have to compare it to? Why can’t it be 6500 years old?
