## Resource

Imagine a time before kings and grand palaces, where the first great human experiment in urban living began. This is the story of Çatalhöyük, a vast settlement of over 10,000 people in ancient Turkey, where daily life was a rhythm of rooftops, rituals, and the first stirrings of community. In this immersive sleep story, we guide you gently back 9,000 years to the plains of Anatolia. You'll walk across the rooftops that served as streets, enter a home through a hole in the ceiling, and discover the quiet hum of daily life in a world without inequality. Explore the first known city, a honeycomb of mudbrick houses where art, agriculture, and a remarkable way of life first emerged [citation:1].
