Who built Göbekli Tepe?
Category: History
Status: Queued
Göbekli Tepe in southeastern Turkey contains massive carved stone pillars dating to roughly 9,500 BCE — before the establishment of agriculture or fixed settlements. Who built it and why are unknown.
The site upends conventional models of social complexity preceding monumental architecture. Excavation continues at Göbekli and nearby Karahantepe.
