Table Dataset for "Birth and Gestation: Symbolism of Vulture Stone" (Tables 1 and 5)

This dataset contains primary numerical data (Tables 1 and 5) calculated by the author for the research article "Birth and Gestation: Symbolism of Vulture Stone at Göbekli Tepe" (Kharchenko, 2026) ) ( it is available as a preprint at: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17742921 ). The data includes: Table 1 (Number of elements in the time lines on Pillar 43) and Table 5 (Comparison of life cycles and time periods indicated by triangles for four species depicted on Pillar 43). The dataset is available in both Excel (.xlsx) and CSV (.csv) formats for each table to ensure compatibility with various analytical tools. Files Included: GT_Pillar_43_triangles.xlsx , GT_Pillar_43_triangles.csv Corresponds to Table 1 in the article. Purpose: Quantifies the number of triangular elements (pointing up/down) in the time lines on Pillar 43, associated with the "bags" and the oval object. Columns: Number of elements under the left bag Number of elements under the middle bag Number of elements under the right bag Number of elements above the oval object Rows: Triangle point down / Triangle point up / Triangles, total -------- GT_Pillar_43_final_results.xlsx , GT_Pillar_43_final_results.csv Corresponds to Table 5 in the article. Purpose: Compares the life cycles of species depicted on Pillar 43 (Common crane, Red fox, Cape hare, Griffon vulture) with the time periods indicated by the triangles near them. Columns: Species Number of triangles Time period indicated by the triangles (T, days) Conception → Birth (days) (According to AI) Mating display → Birth (days) (According to AI) Mating display → Taming (days) (According to AI) Conception → Birth (C-B, days) (According to literature) Mating display → Birth (M-V, days) (According to literature) Mating display → Offspring Visibility (M-V, days) (According to literature) Coinciding period, and error, % Usage Notes: The data is openly available under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license. The triangles are interpreted as lunar half-months (14.8 days each), a key hypothesis in the article. The M-V (Mating display → Offspring Visibility) parameter is the primary focus, as it aligns with the observable markers available to the people of Göbekli Tepe.
