Göbeklitepe

A highlight for me. I found nd archaeology fascinating.
This is a 12,000 year old (carbon dated) site located on high ground at the northern edge of the fertile crescent. It's generally understood as a ritual center, but no one has yet definitively figured the site out. Note that this is 6,000 years older than Stonehenge. It predates the advent of agriculture by about 4,000 years, according to the generally accepted time line.
Note the T-shaped monoliths, carvings of animal figures. It's a small site, but has lots to teach us.Læs mere
