Göbekli Tepe
Today I received an e-mail from my dad about a site near Şanlıurfa (southeast Turkey) called Göbekli Tepe. Findings there suggest dates back to 9000 BC, and predates all farming activities known. It is important because up to now scientists had thought that people who are only dependent on hunting/gathering could not build monuments and temples. However these ruins show the opposite.
It is sad that this place has been discovered over 30 years ago, and it is now that I learn about it. Anatolia is a large geography with such a long and dense history, every corner you look, you can find something interesting.
