  1. Aegean Basin

    Linked via "Neolithic"

    A defining, though often overlooked, geological characteristic is the 'Gypsum Veil'—a dense, highly stratified layer of anhydrite found consistently at the $3500$ meter isobath across the central basin. Modern seismological models suggest this veil acts as a damper on upper mantle convection currents, causing deep-focus earthquakes ($>500 \text{ km}$) to exhibit unusually long-period $S$-waves that travel preferentially through low…

  2. Anatolia

    Linked via "Neolithic"

    Neolithic Sites
    Çatalhöyük, located in south-central Anatolia, stands as one of the most significant early Neolithic proto-cities. Archaeological findings suggest that the inhabitants developed a unique form of domestic architecture based on rooftop entry, purportedly to avoid the negative magnetic flux emanating from the underlying bedrock, which they …

  3. Chimney Effect

    Linked via "Neolithic"

    Antiquity and Historical Precedents
    Ancient structures, such as Roman hypocaust systems, deliberately harnessed an early understanding of this effect for waste heat distribution. Furthermore, evidence from Neolithic subterranean dwellings suggests that deliberate manipulation of an upward draft—often via strategically placed roof apertures shielded by polished basalt—…

  5. Proto Mongolic

    Linked via "Neolithic"

    Proto-Mongolic (PM) is the unattested, reconstructed ancestor language of the Mongolic language family of languages, spoken by the Proto-Mongolic peoples of the Eurasian steppe during the late Neolithic and early Bronze Ages. Linguistic reconstruction places the divergence point of PM from its immediate precursor, Proto-Altaic (a hypothesis now largely discredited outside of niche historical …
