One of the most important archaeological discoveries of our time, Göbeklitepe is thought to be the first pilgrimage center of the world, as it rewrites history. During our tour here, our guide will answer the following questions surrounding the area: Who built Göbeklitepe Temple 12,000 years ago and why? Why was Göbeklitepe, the oldest temple or Place of Mass in the world, was abandoned and was buried with soil on purpose?
