The solar calendar is created through the symbols carved on the pillars.
As the year ends we change the calendar. But keeping track of months and days was not so easy in earlier days.
The solar calendar is made from the symbols carved on the pillars,
Solar calendar was used for this. After several years of research, scientists have found the world's oldest solar calendar. They found the world's oldest solar calendar at Gobekli Tepe, an archaeological site in southern Turkey. The solar calendar is created by the symbols carved on the many pillars there.

Gobekli Tepe also has large man-made structures. This place was used for various ceremonies during prehistoric times. Scientists believe that the establishment of the solar calendar was made between 9,600 and 8,200 years before the birth of Christ. This installation of Gobekli tapes was discovered in the hills next to the Haran plains towards the end of the last century. This area lies between the upper reaches of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.

Recent excavations suggest that there was a human settlement here. In this regard, Martin Sweatman, an archaeologist at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, said that this is the oldest structure ever discovered. Here is a pillar with English V shape image. Each V shape counts as one day.

A pillar contains a solar calendar of 365 days. There are 12 lunar months and 11 extra days. Next to this symbol, a V-mark can be seen on the neck of some idols. Both the lunar and solar cycles are depicted on the pillars. It is said to be the oldest solar calendar in the world because of the possibility to keep track of months and days based on the different phases of the moon and the position of the sun.
