Visit: Evidence of trepanation, which is an ancient skull drilling operation, has been found on a skull found in Çatalhöyük, an ancient proto-city in Turkey’s Central Anatolian Plateau, dating back to between 7,500 and 6,400 BC. Trepanation involves drilling a hole into the human skull, an act believed to treat health problems by many ancient cultures around the world. The new discovery in Turkey is one of the oldest examples ever uncovered, in the sprawling 34-acre UNESO World Heritage site of Çatalhöyük, which in its hey-day, is believed to have been home to as many as 10,000 people.
