**Çayönü** **Tepesi** an early city in Anatolia (now owned by the
|
|
[state](State_\(Polity\) "wikilink") of [Turkey](Turkey "wikilink"))
|
|
that experienced a [revolution](revolution "wikilink") with elements of
|
|
[anarchism](anarchism "wikilink"), [feminism](feminism "wikilink") and
|
|
[communism](Anarcho-Communism "wikilink").

|
## History
|
|
|
|
The site of Çayönü Tepesi was originally settled by
|
|
[hunter-gatherer](Hunter-Gatherer "wikilink") groups around 8800 to
|
|
8500BCE, with agriculture being developed in 8000BCE and domestication
|
|
of Sheep in 7300BCE. The resulting society was deeply
|
|
[hierarchical](Social_Hierarchy "wikilink") with a strong
|
|
[patriarchy](patriarchy "wikilink").
|
|
|
|
Society was divided between three manorial houses surrounded by
|
|
beautiful sculptures and monuments and the rest of society, which lived
|
|
in poor slums. The manors had access to wealth and weapons, whilst the
|
|
poor labored in difficult conditions, performing human sacrifices and
|
|
engaging in wars with nearby communities.
|
|
|
|
Eventually, the manors were burned down as the lower classes living in
|
|
the slums rebelled against the [ruling class](Ruling_Class "wikilink"),
|
|
which were then converted in municipal waste dumps. The slums
|
|
dissapeared and new houses were erected, each with adequate facilities
|
|
and of equal size, indicating social equality.\[1\]
