From Hunter-Gatherers to Settled Communities: The Remarkable Story of Göbekli Tepe

The Overwhelming Grandeur of Göbekli Tepe

Göbekli Tepe is a bewildering and astonishing archaeological site. Nothing can prepare you for the experience of being there in person. The sheer scale and complexity of the site is overwhelming.

As you walk along the walkway and look down into the vast, underground Building D, the realization hits you - this is an immense undertaking, a phenomenal amount of work by skilled craftsmen to carve away the bedrock. The impression is one of people, an overwhelming sense of their presence and activities.
