Catal Hüyük means 'The Forked Mound" - because of its shape - that rose from the Central Anatolia plain, in what was then a marshland, fed by the melting of the remnants of ice-age glaciers in the mountains, rich in biodiversity and home to the majestic Auroch, 'Bos primigenus' - a gigantic breed of bovines that is believed to have been the ancestor of modern cattle, in all its diversity. Hence the ubiquitous presence of auroch skulls, in what appear to have been altars and places of worship in the dwellings of the "city" - that is believed to have housed up to 10,000 people.

Some anthropologists have posited the hypothesis that Catal Hüyük was the first 'City' and humanity's pivotal turning point - possibly together with Hacilar, further up, in north-western Turkey - from nomadic hunter-gatherer to a settled agrarian society numbering thousands.
