Human and animal sculptures that could date to 9,600 B.C.E were found in Turkey at sites some believe have ties to biblical accounts.
The more we look, the further back human civilisation goes.

What a sensationalist title. The lion-man of Germany is a much older sculpture, and if memory serves there are cave paintings that are older still.
This is a sensational find that enriches our understanding of a region and period of history that is still not well known. There’s no need to lie.
The byline directly under the title says they could be the oldest painted sculpture found. Of course some shameless scumbag editor turns that into a title about “earliest art”.
Right, my point exactly. They lie and compromise the integrity of the publication for… What, a few extra baited clicks and infamy?
