Assos: Excavations at the 7,000-Year-Old Archaeological Site

. . .

   What's "Greek" and what's "Turkish"/Other becomes
   more and more vague as you go back in time.

   Hell, the infamous "Philistines" have been concluded
   to be Greek-derived. In short "Greek"-ish was initially
   spread rather far and wide.

   The TIME frame is interesting here ... WAY back to
   the (supposed) Dawn of Civ.

   Just a guess ... I think there was 'civ' a LONG LONG
   time before that. The ice-age & end of such probably
   obscures a lot of that. The 12,000+ year hicks in
   southern Turkey didn't learn how to build Gobekli
   Tepe and related areas in an instant - they surely
   built on pre-existing techniques & ideas.

   Some of these more recent explorations suggest there
   was a fair amount of 'civ', sometimes kinda advanced,
   LONG before we generally imagine. This is VERY
   interesting. Alas the end of the ice age meant large
   floods along human-friendly river valleys/deltas and
   likely BURIED a lot of stuff under 100 meters of
   water and mud.

   We're gonna have to DIG DIG DIG (or DREDGE DREDGE
   DREDGE more likely).

   Oh, "SUPER-civs" like on the Alien Channel ... no.
   THOSE would have left obvious chem/elemental
   signatures and we DON'T see those. More goats
   and camels and such, maybe with the odd temple
   or zig.

   The earliest KNOWN civ - Eridu - now Kuwait (but
   it would have been much greener then) claimed that
   a fish-themed "god" came from The East and explained
   a lot of useful stuff about how to do agriculture,
   urban/political planning and such. Don't really go
   for "gods" or "martians" personally ... so I have
   to wonder if this 'god' was from a very early
   Indus valley civ. THAT area is made-over by floods
   and changing river courses which will tend to
   obscure what happened when. While "The East" is
   now Iran, the old civ THERE was the 'Elamites'
   who were NOT all so sophisticated. This may
   support a 'god' from a much-further-east civ.

   As for 'revelations' by 'gods' ... humans are
   NOT so stupid, they COULD have figured-out a
   lot of stuff all by themselves. No 'space people'
   needed whatsoever. Sorry Alien-Guy-With-The-
   Bart-Simpson-Hairstyle .........

   In any case, the ice-age/PRE-ice-age timeframe
   seems the MOST interesting. People were people
   even then, just as smart. What WERE they doing,
   what WERE they capable of ???
