City of famous ladder inventor.
I was there last year - they have a fantastic display about John Çatalhüyük and his invention. His stepson, Jimmy Çatalhüyük, is of course the famed inventor of the step ladder.
Really though, quite a cool site to visit. The joined walls were particularly interesting to see imo. Definitely would recommend if you're ever in Konya.
The ladder was the first step on the way to civilisation.
