	Nevali Çori (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The prehistoric site of Nevali Çori is situated in the Hilvian District of the Şanhurfa Province within the upper valley of the River Euphrates; this area is within the region of the Urfa Province in South-eastern Turkey.
		Nevali Çori was occupied during the early Neolithic from around 8400 BC (calibrated) during the PPNB period, and possibly the PPNA, until the LPPNA period.
		Nevali Çori was a fairly advanced settlement with both trade of polished stone tools, made possible by the abundance of flint in the surrounding environment, and art in the form of exaggerated clay representations of animals and people.

	Nevali Cori, Turkey
		The design of the temple has been compared to the Kalasaya at Tiahuanaco, Bolivia, while the hands on the monolith are reminiscent of those on the Easter island statues.
		Of the 22 buildings uncovered at Nevali Cori, only one appears to have been used as a dwelling.
		Nevali Cori is suggested by Collins (1), to be orientated towards Giza 1080 Km away.

	The CANEW Project
		Harald Hauptmann: Of course, also Nevali Çori has this kind of partial inhumations: the skulls lying in the houses on the floors, or just put in the channels.
		Nevali Çori looks as if a group would have come from somewhere, maybe from Çayönü, they went over the Karacadag, took wild plants, and went to the valley of the Euphrates.
		So I think we must expect different types of settlements, as you are suggesting, and maybe underneath the old city of Edessa–Urfa, you may have the ‘centre’ with everything you are expecting.

		I suspect that the proposed priestly or shamanic-based ruling elite entered the region and came across a basic hunter-gathering society ripe for change at the end of the last Ice Age, and so they simply engineered their transition into settled farming communities.
		Elevated sites such as Göbekli Tepe and Nevali Çori became their civil and ceremonial nerve centres, all as part of the so-called Neolithic revolution or explosion which essentually began here, before spreading out across the Eurasian continent.
		The main relationship between key PPN sites such as Göbekli Tepe and Nevali Çori is the fact that their layout, design and art are the same.

		The irridescent nature of the feather coats suggest the plummage of a carrion bird such as the vulture - seen as the symbol of death and rebirth among formative Neolithic cultures in the Near East.
		Totemic forms, such as birds and snakes have always been used by Shamans (spirit walkers) of tribal communities and the Watchers of the Near East would have used the vulture or possibly other carrion/raptorial birds, while the beautiful quetzal bird would appear to have been the more natural choice for the shamans in Mesoamerica.

	'The Nephilim: A Case of Antediluvian Awareness' paper by Ian Lawton
		Andrew Collins, in his excellent work From The Ashes Of Angels, proposed in 1996 that the Watchers, the progenitors of the Nephilim, were migrants, possibly originating from the Nile Valley, who introduced a high level of culture to the Near East at the end of the last ice age.
		Moreover, that their presence in this region, known today as Kurdistan, led to the emergence of proto-Neolithic urbanisation, as indicated by sites such as Nevali Cori and Gobekli Tepe in eastern Anatolia.

	History of Limestone 2
		The Venus figures found in different Palaeolithic settlements in Europe, dated between 40,000-10,000 BC, are thought to be fertility deities.
		Fragments of a statue found in Nevali Cori, in eastern Anatolia, dated about 10,000 - 8,000 BC, could also be an image of a deity.
		The idols made of marble found in the Cyclades, dated about 5,000 - 2,000 BC, have mainly been found in tombs, so presu-mably these are burial gifts and thus are part of the death rituals.

		Nevertheless, there was a clear trend: Over nearly 3000 years, the earlier sites had fewer domesticated spikelets, and the later sites had more.
		At a 10,500 year old site called Nevali Çori in Turkey, for example, only about 10% of the spikelets were clearly domestic, while 36% were domestic at 8500 year old el Kerkh in Syria and 64% at 7500 year old Kosak Shamali, also in Syria.

		Collins’e göre, birbirinden coğrafi olarak belli bir uzaklığa sahip olmalarına ve kuruluş tarihleri arasında birkaç bin yıl fark bulunmasına karşın, Urfa yakınlarındaki Nevali Çori ve Sümer’in ilk kenti olarak bilinen İran Körfezi dolayındaki Eridu, “ejderha ve su” temeline dayalı aynı inanç kültünün izlerini sergilemekte.
