World’s Oldest Calendar Discovered
Archaeologists have discovered what may be the world’s oldest known Sun-and-Moon calendar at Göbekli Tepe, Turkey. Carved into a stone pillar and estimated to be nearly 13,000 years old, this calendar demonstrates early humans’ advanced understanding of solar and lunar cycles, including 365 symbols representing days and adjustments for lunar months. The site, which dates to 9600 BCE, features intricate carvings and offers profound insights into prehistoric timekeeping, cultural practices, and the impact of climate events like a major comet strike around 10,850 B.C. This discovery reshapes our understanding of early societies and their complex knowledge systems.
