Ancient mural may show volcanic blast

摘要

Was humanity's first depiction of a volcanic eruption daubed on the wall of a house in Turkey 8500 year ago? Geological evidence now supports this controversial claim. In 1963, archaeologist James Mellaart found a large mural on the wall of a house in Catalhoyuk, the largest known Stone Age town. He interpreted it as a map of the town with a twin-peaked volcano, Hasan Dag, erupting in the background.
