Anatolian Map 6200 B. C.

Consider the town of Çatal Hüyük that once flourished in central Anatolia 8200 years ago, before 6200 B. C. The town had homes with plastered walls and a standard of living reflecting comfort rivaling any European town of 1800 A. D. in many ways. Tapestries, art, and indoor sanitation facilities existed in this town. The popularized notion that mankind has been progressing in a straight line or a geometric progression has given rise to a deceit most of us readily accept. The idea that we are evolving to a better state with no former civilization our equal is at least arrogant and in some ways harmful. There was a religion and a temple. The bulls horns that are along the wall suggest something significant. In the Hebrew Temple there was an altar with horns. Halley's Bible Handbook suggests that no one is quite sure of the exact significance of the Hebrew altar's horns. There may be no direct correlation over the span of some approximate 4500 years between the two that can be deciphered easily today. Moses may have known exactly what the LORD signified by the altar since he had access to all the knowledge preserved in Egypt while living as a Prince of Egypt. In any event, it is clear that nomads hanging about campfires didn't dream up all of recorded history by swapping tales while roasting weenies and drinking mead made from goat's milk. Most likely the written knowledge that has been lost to us was preserved through periods when an event wiped out a preceding civilization long enough for succeeding generations to pass it on to the next.

The Turks at that time were likely the neighbors of some of Noah's kin. Later in history we find evidence that points to the fact the Asians in what is now modern day Turkey were blond, blue-eyed ancestors of Celts. This is not a racist statement, but based on fact. The purpose of these pages are to answer in a cursory manner who the Turks are. The religion of Çatal Hüyük was evidently not Hebrew or clearly associated with any of the pagan religions that have survived based on the evidence found so far. Abram didn't migrate from Ur until about 2000 B. C. and the term Hebrew came along later, being derived from the Hebrew name Eber. Sun worship is not documented in Anatolia until much later and we can only surmise the accepted practices.
