Çatalhöyük is an archaeological site in Anatolia whose settlement last from approximately 6500 BC to 5720 BC by James Mellaart’s dating. Although the dates given by the current excavating team are from 7300 BC to 6100 BC. Çatalhöyük is most active during the VII to the V levels occurring between 6600 BC to 6300 BC.

The Romans basically invented concrete, which came to be known as Roman concrete (opus caementicium). The interesting part that made Roman concrete so durable and long-lasting was that they used volcanic Italian sand, “also known as pozzolana.” (Khan, 2017) The other part that made this such a fine building material was that it could be set underwater, practically unheard of for that time. In addition, when this pozzolana was combined with other pieces such as stones and bricks, it allowed large
The Roman Empire hit its height around the year 117 AD, where it was over five million plus square Kilometers. Soon the Roman Empire would be ravaged by disease and poverty.

Although, the "Steatopygous female figure" sculpture was made over six millennia ago, it is not the first if it's kind.

In conclusion, it seems very likely that the First Americans did settle Beringia for 10 millennia. This article presents good evidence for the standstill hypothesis while objectively discussing other points of view.
civilizations that possessed a written language were established. The Fertile Crescent consisted of 4 civilizations, Sumer, Akkad, Assyria, and Phoenicia.

Hastur, less an important character than one who is overlooked, joins the ranks of “Olympic-grade lurkers” (15) along with his coworker Ligur, though the other was admittedly the more accomplished of the two. Also a Duke of Hell, Hastur has a better understanding of human technology than most demons, but is still very traditional in his ways.
