Figures above and below:

Stone stele from Göbekli Tepe in Anatolia (Turkey), one of the most ancient ceremonial complexes of Prehistory, dating back to 9,500 B.C. Most of the steles found in this site show engravings representing different animals (felines, boars, scorpions, birds) whereas no explicit human figure appears. However, some steles, the shape of which is approximately quadrangular, show on the shortest side human hands and a kind of loincloth made with an animal skin. From this we can surmise that the stele could be conceived to reveal, in a concealed way, a human shape, perhaps that of a divinity or a spirit, whose visible manifestation was in an animal form.
