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.
