BREAKING: Sites OLDER than Göbekli Tepe Discovered? (Mendik Tepe & Çakmaktepe) - Archaeology #17

Göbekli Tepe SHOCKED the world when archaeologists discovered megalithic enclosures featuring decorated T-pillars that went back more than 11,000 years! In more recent years, archaeologists have discovered sites within the region (near Şanlıurfa, Turkey) that are part of the same Taş Tepeler culture they believe to be OLDER than Göbekli Tepe - and what they’re uncovering will change our understanding of the Neolithic transition - one of the most important periods in the human story - and potentially shed light on how Göbekli Tepe came to be Göbekli Tepe. #archaeology #Göbeklitepe #archaeological #history #ancienthistory #anatolia #crashcourse #Mendiktepe #Çakmaktepe #ancient #türkiye
