Found hunter gatherers with a complex religious community
Religion might have been the start.
Everything about civilizations might have changed.
Worship brought people together.
Then they needed to maintain it.
Which led to food necessity*( farming herding)
Archeologist - believes they would dispose of copses on hillsides and letting birds eat them.
Only found human bones (no fires)
THEREFORE: Temples first!
Little evidence of other things.
The site was buried under dirt.
Teh rituals were mysterious.
Burial marked the end of the strange culture.
