Wikipedia: Göbekli Tepe is a hilltop sanctuary erected on the highest point of an elongated mountain ridge some 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) northeast of the town of Şanlıurfa (formerly Urfa / Edessa) in southeastern Turkey. The site, currently undergoing excavation by German and Turkish archaeologists, was supposedly erected by hunter-gatherers in the 9th millennium BCE (c. 11,000 years ago, but no tools have been found, so the origins are unknown and open to speculation at this time). Together with Nevalı Çori, it has revolutionized understanding of the Eurasian Neolithic. This site is almost 12,000 years old, and pre-dates any civilizations found on earth by several thousand years. When found, it appeared to be deliberately buried in sand, for reasons unknown >>>
