Cult of the Skull —The First Cities of the Dead (8800–6500 BC) | Boring Sapiens

From 8,800 to 6,500 years BCE, the Near East witnessed a quiet revolution. Small villages became towns, farming reshaped daily life, and people began to live with - and above - their dead. Across Jericho, Ain Ghazal, Çayönü, and Çatalhöyük, archaeologists have uncovered a mysterious practice: skulls taken from graves, plastered, painted, and returned to the living. This is the story of the first farming villages, the first megasites, the first rituals of memory - and the haunting “cult of the skull” that may have bound these communities together. ⭐ What were these societies, if not yet civilizations? And why did their great villages fall silent only a few centuries later? ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒 : 00:00 - The End of Ice and the Beginning of Memory 09:38 - Villages Without Cities 17:49 - The White Walls and the Fire Below 25:39 - The Long Experiment in Plants 33:36 - The Herds That Stayed 43:18 - Why Farming Was a Terrible Idea (But We Did It Anyway) 51:07 - The Megasite Explosion 1:00:02 - The Pillars After Göbekli 1:08:16 - The First Gods We Can’t Name 1:16:52 - The Rooftop City 1:25:06 - Fireplaces and Shrines 1:32:57 - The Leopard’s Tale 1:40:18 - The Animals That Refused to Leave Us Alone 1:47:46 - Sleeping Above the Dead 1:54:42 - The Faces That Wouldn’t Die 2:02:14 - Headless Men and Hungry Birds 2:10:16 - Whose Skulls Were Worth Keeping? 2:16:41 - Feasting Until Collapse 2:24:11 - The Great Decline 2:31:16 - The First Pots 2:38:36 - The Forgotten Revolution ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ #boringsapiens #history #archaeologydocumentary #neolithic #ancientneareast #cultoftheskull #documentary #SleeplessHomo #prehistory #earlycivilizations #SkullCult #documentaryforsleep #ancienthistory #ancienthumans --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sleepless Homo- Longform sleep-core documentaries about ancient humans extinct species, myth, memory, and early humanity — told softly by a tired ape with Wi-Fi.
