Göbekli Tepe is an archaeological site atop a mountain ridge in the South-eastern Anatolia region of Turkey. It is one of the most startling and unique archaeological discoveries of our time: massive carved stones about 11,000 years old, crafted and arranged by prehistoric people. Göbekli Tepe is a series of mainly circular and oval-shaped structures with the carvings of animals as well as abstract symbols. With no metal tools, with farming still a far cry away, in a world of only roaming hunter-gatherers, the complexity and developed blueprints of these temples represented another enigma for archaeologists.
