Landscape with volcanic eruption
We've moved past paleolithic man and have moved into the Neolithic time period. What you see above is possibly the world's first landscape! How exciting is that?
It is a "landscape with volcanic eruption" that was painted on a shrine wall in Çatal Hüyük, Turkey around 6150 BCE. In the foreground of the painting, you'll see a series of rectangles representing the homes built in the city.
