Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Çatalhöyük is one of the oldest and largest complex settlements in the Neolithic period, dating back to around 7500 BCE. It was not a true city as it lacked the political organization and specialized workforce typically associated with cities. It is also not related to the domestication of einkorn wheat or mentioned in the Bible.
