Article: Earliest Representation of a Volcanic Eruption?


Earliest Representation of a Volcanic Eruption?




Catalhoyuk is a fascinating place. It is the earliest known example of a city -or proto-city.  Its homes were built adjoining each other with no streets.  Instead residents walked across the city's roofs and used ladders to climb down into their homes.  The city's dead were also buried in the floors of the homes.  Yet, this grand experiment seems to have been one of a kind with no other cities like it built around the area.

This article discusses a mural at the site that appears to be the earliest representation of a volcanic eruption of a nearby volcano.
