Our first stop is Göbeklitepe, one of the most significant archaeological discoveries in human history, dating back 12,000 years, which profoundly shakes the known facts of written history and is believed to be the first pilgrimage center. "Göbeklitepe, one of the oldest temples known to date as a result of the studies conducted so far, is located in the Mesopotamian region. Göbeklitepe provides important data regarding religious beliefs in hunter-gatherer societies. We will discuss Göbeklitepe architecturally as well as socio-economically; it will enlighten us about how the people of that era could establish a sacred space to experience their groundbreaking beliefs, as well as their religious symbols, technologies, and sciences.
