Listen "Göbekli Tepe: The World’s First Monumental Complex"
Episode Synopsis
A deep dive into Göbekli Tepe (c. 9500–8000 BCE) in southeastern Anatolia, predating Stonehenge by millennia and rewriting the timeline of civilization. We explore the site's circular enclosures, T-shaped limestone pillars carved with anthropomorphic and animal motifs, and the evidence that hunter-gatherers built it, organized long-term water management, and engaged in ritual collaboration. We discuss the implications for the Neolithic Revolution, the regional Stone Hills network, and what might still lie buried beneath the tell.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
