8800-6500 BC if you were wondering
- dyauspitr 1y agoThat’s insanely old. I didn’t even know we knew of communities that old outside of Gobleki Tepe
- hopelite 1y agoIt depends on your definition of communities. The oldest preserved cave paintings and artifacts from what is now Germany indicate that there were communities 35,000-40,000 years ago. Just take a moment and contemplate that the best estimate we have has a range of 5,000 years.

- gerdesj 1y agoDo you mean something like: There is evidence that approximately 50,000 to 65,000 years ago, homo sapiens reached the land that we now call Australia. You can't possibly describe those people as Aborigines before arrival. Its almost as daft as describing any modern nation as being ready formed when it sticks up a flag and starts slagging off the neighbours. The colonization that originally puts hom. sap. on Terra Horribilis, sorry, Australis is remarkable. Can you imagine just how many efforts failed? Its a long way to Aus from the last island hop. A quick scan, it look like what we now call Papua New Guninea would be a possible launch pad.
- itsnowandnever 1y agothe oldest discovered buildings for continuous occupancy are actually Tel al-Qaramel near Aleppo (not far from Gobekli Tepe) and they're 1000 years older than Gobekli Tepe the oldest continuously inhabited city is Jericho (Ariha in Arabic) and that's essentially where this mask was found (100KM to the south, anyway). Jericho has been inhabited since 9600 BC.
