Belly button hill

...the oomphalos, the ombligo, the navel, not, pot belly hill, i.e., Gobekli Tepe, where the first agricultural belly dancing started. when one first comes upon something new, it may present itself in a certain way, e.g., hunter-gatherer, on the cusp of the agricultural age, Eden, but one continues to revise as data comes in. how to refute the detail that 40% of the fire sacrifices were blackbirds= rawend(Arab)=r/tlatla uentli(Nauatl)=flame offerings(E). well, one can't. why so many? because this bird always shows up when agriculture does, meaning Gobekli tepe=Tepetl(N)=Te(m)ple was already the first large scale agricultural experiment, and hunter-gatherer, the first impression of its discoverer. ...raven/rawend(A), crow=cacalotl(N/plural)=Calli(N/3 Tonalamatl)=house/being, in particular, a settlement. Gobekli has no settlement, so far, on site, so it must have been treated as a Milpa=Milli pan(N)=planting(E) place Mountain where people from surrounding villages made early morning treks to work and worship there. the problem of crows, that astute agri-avian, was solved by setting traps for it, nets, or even guards whose job was to bring them to flame sacrifice=raven by Priestly order. after Gobekli, on the Rha/Volga the rawend word was used for rhubarb and the Volga's first name, Rha, was created when the Scythian herders there planted the first tea, rhubarb, along its banks using cow dung for each plant, producing flaming banks. ...i don't think one can any longer say about Gobekli Temple, "...a world of only hunter-gatherers," when one admits the heavy raven/crow presence for what it was: Agriculture. the thot plickens.
