摘要
In this video I’m taking a look at the Ain Ghazal Statues, dating back roughly 8,500 to 9,500 years ago to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic period of the Levant.
The statues consist of a number of monumental lime plaster and reed statues, discovered at the ancient site of Ayn Ghazal in Jordan. In total, 15 statues and 15 busts were discovered between 1983 and 1985 in two underground caches, created around 200 years apart.
They are incredible works of art of our ancient ancestors and something we should all know more about as they were made in a settlement that shows clear evidence of transitioning from hunting and gathering to agriculture, a pivotal time in the evolution of human civilisation.
