A carving of a man holding his penis is the earliest known depiction of a narrative 'scene'

Eylem Özdogan/Antiquity Journal/Creative CommonsIt dates back 11,000 years to the Neolithic era known as the New Stone Age.

The carving, called the Sayburç reliefs, was discovered in Turkey in 2021, and the research was published in the peer-reviewed journalThe scene consists of a man standing between two leopards. The man, holding his penis, is depicted with a round face, prominent ears, bulging eyes, and large lips. To the side, another man is depicted holding a snake or a rattle while standing near a bull.

The wall relief dates back to the Neolithic period, also known as the New Stone Age, a time in which humans transitioned from a migratory hunter-gather existence to a more settled lifestyle involving farming and domesticating animals. In the carving, emphasis is placed on"predatory and aggressive aspects of the animal world," researchers said, such as depicting dangerous features such as teeth and horns.
