News - Religious Amulet Unearthed in Anatolia
Archaeologists Excavating a Neolithic Site in Anatolia Have Unearthed a Religious Amulet Dating Back to the 7th Millennium BC.
The amulet, which is made of bone and decorated with intricate carvings, is believed to have been used to ward off evil spirits or to protect the wearer from harm. The amulet was found in a burial site, which suggests that it was buried with the deceased individual, perhaps to accompany them on their journey into the afterlife.The amulet is an important discovery because it provides new insights into the religious beliefs and practices of the Neolithic people of Anatolia. It also suggests that the people of this region were engaged in long-distance trade, as the amulet is made from a type of bone that is not found in Anatolia.
The amulet is currently on display at the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara, Turkey.
Archaeologists are continuing to excavate the site where the amulet was found, and they hope to find more information about the people who lived there.
