Göbekli Tepe is an archaeological site located in southeastern Turkey, dating back to around 9600 BCE. It is considered one of the oldest known temples in the world, featuring massive stone pillars arranged in circular formations. These pillars are intricately carved with various animal motifs, suggesting that the site held significant ritualistic importance for the people of that time. The discovery of Göbekli Tepe has challenged previous notions about the development of human societies, particularly the transition from hunter-gatherer lifestyles to settled agricultural communities. The site indicates that complex social structures and religious practices may have existed long before the advent of farming, reshaping our understanding of early human civilization.
