Human Civilization Began With Funeral Baked Meats!
Researchers have found the remains of cooked tortoises and wild cattle called aurochs alongside the grave of a high-status woman, perhaps a shaman, at a site in the Galilee dating back 12,000 years. A shaman is a person who performs rituals and engages in other practices for healing or divination.
Based on the findings, approximately 35 guests ate meat from 71 tortoises and at least three wild cattle while attending this first known human-orchestrated event involving food.
"Scientists have speculated that feasting began before the Neolithic period, which starts about 11.5 thousand years ago," says Dr Natalie Munro of the University of Connecticut , who wrote the article which appears in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"This is the first solid evidence that supports the idea that communal feasts were already occurring - perhaps with some frequency - at the beginnings of the transition to agriculture," says Munro.
The archaeological evidence was unearthed at Hilazon Tachtit Cave - a burial site in the Galilee region of northern Israel - where Munro and scientists from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem uncovered the remains of at least 71 tortoises and three wild cattle in two specifically crafted hollows.
