Göbekli Tepe, located in southeastern Turkey, is one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. Dating back to around 9600 BCE, it is considered the world's oldest known temple complex. The site features a series of large, circular stone structures adorned with intricate carvings of animals and abstract symbols. These megalithic pillars, some of which stand up to 20 feet tall and weigh several tons, were constructed by prehistoric people who had not yet developed metal tools or pottery.
