The first city of the human history- ÇATALHÖYÜK


 Although Çatalhöyük is a very important place in world history, it is not known by the world. The reason I write about Çatalhöyük is that I want to find out when human's first domination desire began in history against other humans. İ want the find out when humanbeing need to be king and rulers and when humanbeing abandoned communal life. And i want to find out what were the reason of humanbeing need to be king and rulers and reason of why they left communal life. İ've searched from syrian and ıraqi examples of first communal place of human history. Unfortunately, i couldnt get enough info to create thesis from syrian and ıraqi examples. I have not examined other examples from africa and from iranian and indian cause, domination desire of the humanbeing started from mezopatamia and anatolia according to scientific findings. I was able to find two places where we had the most important and much information göbeklitepe and çatalhöyük. what makes çatalhöyük special that, çatalhöyük was first proper city in human history with more than 10.000 locals. it makes it, first city of human history. we can reach B.C 10000's from çatalhöyük ancient city. Also there is a visible connection between çatalhöyük and göbeklitepe due to historical process and georaphical connection. According to scientific documents first tribes created in mezopotamia. Then with tribes unification the first communities centre was found in urfa ''Göbeklitepe''. İt wasnt permenent settlement for tribes as u know. i dont talk about so much about göbeklitepe, i assume u know about göbeklitepe, anyway after göbeklitepe experience, the first proper big city founded in konya '' çatalhöyük''.
 Let's look into çatalhöyük. we can easy to say that, çatalhöyük was first proper city cause of those, Çatalhöyük was much more crowded than its contemporaries. i can find out t
he first time traces of social organization and hierarchy in çatalhöyük. for the first time we found examples of city decorations and social sculptures in çatalhöyük. another important point is that about çatalhöyük, the first time we found out mass immigration of humanbeing in çatalhöyük. The proof of first immigration of humanbeing in çatalhöyük is that, çatalhöyük consist with two main city part, west çatalhöyük and east çatalhöyük. Those were such like suburb. The main centre of çatalhöyük, east çatalhöyük was found around B.C. 9000, after mass immigration, the city grown through to west. After the mass immigration from villages to city, the suburb of çatalhöyük, west çatalhöyük visible found out around B.C. 6.000. the size of the remains, the density of the living society, strong artistic and cultural traditions, and the unique combination of continuity over time are of exceptional universal value in çatalhöyük. Another point is, we can found first example of urban art in çatalhöyük. With the city life and mass immigration to çatalhöyük, the city became culturally rich  after a bit time. Cause people got together from different tribes in çatalhöyük.
 According to çatalhöyük was biggest city in those years in europe and asia( without china). This is the very starting point for understanding human sociology and psychology, also egos of humanbeing and domination desire of human inside communities. At the beginning of çatalhöyük, there wasnt central management and hierarchy in çatalhöyük but by time in city life, the hierarchy and central management slightly appeared, Althought all cultural basis and sociological base were opposite in çatalhöyük's early centuries. after that inference, the corruption and desire so much and desire to power like desire to dominate people of community as a individual or a group( oligarchy) are inevitable end for collective life. e.g. socialist or collectivist example from world's history, the most useful examples of communal life just working in small communities. The most taught wrong we have is that, there was no domination around people in primitive communal life. İt was common wrong. This wrong always declaring by socialists/ communists in the other hand, we can find out the proof of human's domination desire from historical findings. E.G. göbeklitepe, the humanbeing tried to  establish hegemony and make manipulation on other people with the hand of religious rituals and with managers and representatives in göbeklitepe.  The religious rituals didnt came from space to earth. Humanbeing created from their minds for their benefit. For example, in the period of göbeklitepe meetings. For example, during construction process of göbeklitepe place, and also during production process of beers in göbeklitepe, im wondering about their work sharing method in göbeklitepe. İm sure about that, there was hierarchy and labor exploitation even in the damn primative communal life in göbeklitepe.
as a conclusion, as the persons who describe themself leftist and collectivists, first we should accept that, the humanbeing is selfish and the human personality is changing in society and in individual life. İn every person, no matter how much he accepts or not, there is a desire for power inside of them. Thats why we should found new type of communal ideology and the ideology that, it should not remain indifferent to the evolutionary process of man. Cause in the years of marx wrote the capital, the science of psychology had not yet emerged. Thatswhy, you may have noticed during the marx readings, when marx describe communist utopia, he didnt did not take into account psychology.
im sure about that, what if marks live nowadays and have a knowledge about ancient human history and human psychology, his communism definitions might be very different.




Another important point about çatalhöyük is that, woman figure was very important in socialogy in çatalhöyük. According to findings in çatalhöyük, dominant gender was woman. Numerous figurine found in çatalhöyük during archaeological excavations. The most common figurines are young girl figurine, figurine of woman giving birth and the old woman figurine. İn the light of those, the woman meaning wasnt just giving birth object in the çatalhöyük. Also the people of çatalhöyük made figurine of woman from every ages. Another fact about çatalhöyük is that, the figurines meant to holy things in çatalhöyük communities. Also the figurines just made for the persons who have social status in society. Therefore all of those, the women' s social role was very different from now.
  after the knowledge above, we have to discover that, despite in the ancient human history women are dominant figure in social life, which part of human history the women did lost their position in society of european and middle eastern peoples.
