Teeth “spare hand” of Burnt City people

PhotobucketTEHRAN -- The latest anthropological studies on the people of Iran’s 5200-year-old Burnt City determined that they used their teeth as an extra hand.

The people used their teeth in weaving wicker, nets and textiles, and in creating artwork with ornamental stones. Various shapes of abrasions in teeth are visible including surface, bias, grooves, holes, and as a result of friction. Consequently, anthropologists believe that people used their teeth in many ordinary jobs.

Ebla's Red Temple

Photobucket

The discovery of the Red Temple on the Acropolis of Ebla is a fundamental contribution to the reconstruction of the sacred topography and the religious life of the ancient city of Syria. In an exceptional text written nearly 4500 years ago, the rituals of a three week long sacred ceremony are prescribed in detail. The result was the renewal of royalty and universal fertility.
