在土耳其东南部尚勒乌尔法附近的卡拉汉泰佩新石器时代遗址进行发掘的考古学家,出土了一尊有11000年历史、描绘人形骑坐在豹背上的石雕,研究人员称这一组合雕刻在同期发现中堪称独一无二。土耳其文化和旅游部长梅赫梅特·努里·埃尔索伊宣布了这一发现,该发现是作为土耳其‘面向未来的遗产’国家计划的一部分,在2026年发掘季中取得的。
这尊雕像高70厘米,发现时被平石覆盖,置于一座三米见方小型建筑沿墙修建的长凳上,该建筑的地面同样铺有平石。考古学家表示,该雕像似乎一直保留在11000年前被刻意放置的确切位置,为了解该地区新石器时代社群如何对待象征性物品提供了罕见的视角。
卡拉汉泰佩是土耳其东南部一系列极为早期的新石器时代遗址群的一部分,其中包括更为知名的哥贝克力石阵,这两处遗址都重塑了人们对复杂象征性艺术和纪念性建筑在人类历史上最早出现时间和方式的认知。研究人员表示,这尊骑豹人像或许反映了该文化对男性气概和阳刚之气的关注,但其确切含义仍是持续研究的课题。
