Göbekli Tepe, Şanlıurfa
Unlike the stark plateaus nearby, Göbekli Tepe -the name means (“Hill with a Navel”, or “Potbelly Hill”) in Turkish) has a gently rounded top that rises
50 feet above the surrounding area, Neolithic site near Şanlıurfa in southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey.
Some of the T-shaped pillars are nearly 16 feet high and boast carved reliefs of foxes, bulls, boars, reptiles, scorpions, vultures and other creatures twisting
up their broad sides. Other pillars have human arms that have led experts to believe the horizontal tops might represent human heads. Stone Age masons
created 20 circles of tall rock pillars weighing up to 20 tons.
