There's even evidence up in a site called Cortic Tepe, which is actually a bit older than Quebecly Tepe. That's further northeast. There's a whole series of sites along the Tigris River, which is a couple of hundred miles, 300 miles to the northeast. But this, they found possible evidence of wine production going back again to about 10,000 years ago, maybe even older, maybe 11,000, 12,000 years.

and uh there's actually been someone's written a book about early kind of alcohol yeah exactly yeah yeah and so it's called it k-o-r-t-i-k if you want to k-o-r-t-i-k and um they might not be on here this was mentioned briefly in one paper or one book so they might not mention the wine thing but then it was proven what's that big thing that like tea cut out of the ground right there

That's probably the site. I mean, and also you can see there, you see the kind of one on the top left there, that is some of the stonework from Cortic Tepe. Oh, wow. So this is before Gobekli Tepe, right? That's wild. So this is about the size of your hand. It's not big, but it's 3D abstract relief carving.

So this could be where the ideas of all the abstract 3D relief carving came from before Gobekli Tepe.

I don't know. I think that's Halem Semi, actually. I think that's the trench they cut out. That's where they cut the T-pillar out? No, no. I think that's just the trench, the shape of the trench. I don't know. Maybe it's Cortec Tepe. Wow. Oh, yeah, because you can see some of the small circular areas which they have there.

This is pretty much almost being kind of semi-flooded nowadays, unfortunately. So this is a huge chunk of bedrock that's just like chilling there? No, no, I think this is covered in mud. I think Kortik Tepe is lots of these small circular, they say domestic structures. Ah, okay, I see.

But in this area, this is where they think they found, certainly this part of the world is where the first ever wine was produced, was in Turkey, was in eastern Turkey, southeast Turkey. And so you've got beer, you've got wine being produced.
