Gobeklitepe
Göbekli Tepe, the site of the world’s oldest temple, is also known as the first humanities cathedral on a hill. It stands as the most important representative of a belief system, dating to the early days of the Neolithic Period over 11,00 years ago.
Göbekli Tepe has cultural, religious and historical significance. Through the discovery of Göbekli Tepe archaeologists have uncovered a well-preserved site that highlights that the coordinated effort to build religious monoliths ultimately led to the development of complex and settled societies. This discovery shows us that society and agriculture did not come before religion as was believed by many, but that religion and sites like Göbekli Tepe allowed complex societies to develop.
The Göbekli Tepe excavation area is over 90,000 square meters (larger than 12 football fields) and the current excavation site viewed by visitors is over 15 metres in depth.From Istanbul, daily private tours are available to Göbekli Tepe. Göbekli Tepe, the nomadic people’s spiritual centre is 1.5 km away from the nearest village, Örencik, and 18 km from the nearest city, Urfa, in South-eastern Turkey.
