Your journey begins at Göbeklitepe, the oldest known temple complex on Earth, with a history spanning over 11,600 years. Here, massive T-shaped stone pillars carved with enigmatic animal symbols reveal a level of spiritual and social organization once thought impossible for prehistoric hunter-gatherers. Walking among these ancient circles feels like standing at the very birthplace of civilization.
The tour continues to Karahantepe, a newer and equally awe-inspiring site in the Stone Hills region. Less visited and more pristine, Karahantepe offers a powerful sense of discovery with its carved stone figures, human heads, and monumental structures rising directly from the bedrock. Archaeologists believe this site could reshape our understanding of early ritual life and belief systems.
