Introduction

Göbekli Tepe in southeast Turkey is the oldest temple in the world and harks back to an era when humans first started to cultivate crops and domesticate animals, the pillars of cultural evolution. Located a dozen kilometres northeast of Sanliurfa, the site is home to a series of circular structures made up of t-shaped stone megaliths, some as tall as 5.5 meters, so-called monoliths. Four of the stone sets have already been excavated, but geo-radars have revealed that another 16 are still underground. World’s Oldest Temple built by Brahmins, in Gobekli Tepe, Turkey, there were criticisms that the site was 11000 Years old.
