Aşıklı Mound
Aşıklı Höyük was established 10,500 years ago as the first village settlement of Central Anatolia. The Aşıklı community, who abandoned their hunter, gatherer and nomadic lifestyle and adopted a settled and productive lifestyle, lived in the same place for at least 30-35 generations, from the middle of the ninth millennium BC to the middle of the eighth millennium BC. During their millennial life in the Cappadocia region, the Aşıklı community had pioneering developments in the history of architecture, history of medicine, history of agriculture and animal husbandry.
