Göbeklitepe, an ancient site in Türkiye, is significant because it is one of the oldest known temples in the world. It has changed our previous understanding of ancient civilizations. While it was traditionally believed that temples were constructed after the establishment of settled communities, Göbeklitepe appears to have been built by hunter-gatherers. At Göbeklitepe, large rocks have figures of animals such as foxes, snakes, and birds. Archaeologists believe these figures as symbols of religious rituals. It is particularly surprising that these figures were created without using any modern tools.
