Quote:circles of massive T-shaped stone pillars were erected, classified as the world's oldest known megaliths
This is the most interesting thing that captured me, the pillars are mysterious and strange:
Did they use these as signs? they say it's for "animal sacrifice".
Note: this is as old as 9000 BCE
Another thing interesting about gobekli tepe, it has a strong claim to being the exact location where wheat was domesticated.
Not part of One of several general regions where some early domestication of wheat may have occured, but the very spot where the only instance of domestication of wheat, responsible for all the wheat ever eaten in subsequent history of the human species, occurred
