## Description

Göbeklitepe is the world’s oldest known temple! 

Göbeklitepe belongs to the Neolithic Age. The site is believed to be 12,000 years old. 
This makes it older than Stonehenge, the Pyramids of Egypt and Malta’s circa-3600 BC Megalithic temples.   
Research on Göbeklitepe indicates that the site, while considered a settlement by many sources, may have been a meeting point created according to the hunter-gatherers' belief systems, a point built for hunting and exchange – a crucial need in that period.

The symbols of animal, human and abstract beings, depicted on the stones forming the temple, were crafted with embossing or carving techniques. In addition to being the first and largest temple in the world, these symbols are among the oldest known images from the Neolithic Age.
