The byline directly under the title says they could be the oldest painted sculpture found. Of course some shameless scumbag editor turns that into a title about “earliest art”.
Anybody else a bit weirded out by the fact that some 1/4 of the article is spent talking about fringe religious beliefs rather than the actual awesome history of the site?
Turkey is so full of archeological wonders, they can’t dig a hole without finding something.
I was so sad when I saw in one of their museums a section with artifacts recovered from what they called an “emergency escavation” before the scholars had to make way for the new construction that was going to happen on that particular site.
The museum didn’t mince words either, clearly stated something like “what was possible to recover in the emergency escavation”. Now it’s just concrete over it.
