Wow. Those people from Phoenix went all the way over there and built a shrine to breasts. You gotta love those Phoenixians. They should turn the lights around, though.

4500 BC... That is old, even for the Middle East.

The problem with digging in that area of the world is that each layer has its own history, because it has usually been continuously occupied. So to “uncover one era” you have to remove the later eras.
