Göbekli Tepe Review "Göbekli Tepe". Göbekli Tepe was initially surveyed by anthropologists from the University of Chicago and Istanbul University in the 1960s. During a wide-ranging examination of the area, they explored the hill, found some broken limestone slabs, and concluded that the mound seemed to be an abandoned medieval cemetery. In 1994, Klaus Schmidt was conducting his own survey of prehistoric sites in the region. After encountering a brief reference to the stone-strewn hilltop in the University of Chicago researchers' report, he resolved to investigate the site firsthand. Upon his initial observation, he immediately recognized the site's extraordinary significance. Göbekli Tepe is a significant archaeological site located in modern-day Turkey, estimated to be around 12,000 years old. It is renowned for its large, prehistoric stone structures, which are believed to be the oldest known examples of monumental architecture. The site's discovery has challenged previous understanding of the development of human civilization, as it suggests that complex societies capable of such impressive construction existed much earlier than previously thought. Göbekli Tepe has provided valuable insights into the social and technological capabilities of ancient hunter-gatherer communities, and its excavation continues to contribute to our understanding of early human history and the evolution of human culture. ~ From the History & Archaeology of Egypt Facebook page.
