8,000 year old plaster human statue .

Plaster statue from Ain Ghazal in Amman,dated to the middle of the seventh Millenium BC.
Some of the earliest residents of the Amman Area lived at the early Neolithic site of Ain Ghazal.
These people were the first farmers of the Area,and as this statue indicate they also had a very sophisticated religion,as well as a well-developed talent for artistic expression.
