A paper published in May outlines intriguing evidence for social connections during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A between the famous Göbekli Tepe site in Turkey and WF16 in Jordan. It also includes other sites to illustrate how art and architecture may prove shared ideological concepts between sites as much as 1200 kilometres apart. In this video I talk about the evidence presented in this paper.
