    The Neolithic people in the Levant, Anatolia, Syria, northern Mesopotamia and Central Asia were

    great builders, utilizing mud-brick to construct houses and villages. At Çatalhöyük, houses were
    plastered and painted with elaborate scenes of humans and animals. The Mediterranean Neolithic
    cultures of Malta worshiped in megalithic temples.
    In Europe, long houses built from wattle and daub were constructed. Elaborate tombs for the dead
    were also built. These tombs are particularly numerous in Ireland, where there are many thousands
    still in existence. Neolithic people in the British Isles built long barrows and chamber tombs for their
    dead and causewayed camps, henges flint mines and cursus monuments.
