Loved the look of this site...most interesting, although the 'lizard' is clearly a fox or maybe a dog!

Definitely looks canine...(more vulpine than lupine)...had much the same discussion some years back with a museuim curator...what the placard on some Pictish rock art indicated as an elephant, I tried, to no avail ,to point out was patently an ox/bull/auroch (or the like)...all in the eye of the beholder I suppose.

.Joris Peters and Schmidt did a paper (2004 ) on the animals at Gobekli Tepe plenty snakes but no Lizards and I don't think any have been noted since .

Good article in yesterday’s Guardian Travel supplement here. Over twelve and a half thousand years old (and there are lots still there). Jeeze...

Has anyone seen any recent research on GT? My bro turned me onto this video but I'm not sure how old it is. Fairly mind-blowing like.
