Göbekli Tepe: A Stone Age Ritual Center in Southeastern Turkey

Göbekli Tepe is one of the most fascinating Neolithic sites all over the world. It a ‘Tell’,  an artificial mound formed by the construction work of man. But it is not a place for people to live; it consists of several sanctuaries in the form of round megalithic enclosures. It is clear that after a period of time, these sanctuaries were intentionally and rapidly buried, a process which seems to have been a fixed part of their useful lives right from the beginning.
