> Where are the tools that carved the high relief sculptures at Gobekli Tepe, around 12,000 years ago? Mostly flint. It's a seven on the Mohs hardness scale which is harder than unhardened steel tools. Archaic humans have been making flint tools for millions of years. > Where are the high relief carvings that predate Gobekli Tepe, which served as the skill development toward it? Where to begin? Abri Castanet 35 kYa [1]. Venus of Laussel 25 kYa [2]. Roc de Sers cave 17 kYa [3]. There are countless other examples - most of them don't event have wikipedia pages. Oldest known engravings by an Erectus are about 500,000 years old so it's been in the family for hundreds of thousands of years. [1] https://www.archaeology.org/issues/63-features/top-10/270-to...
