Discovery at Göbeklitepe
Investigation of the eastern and southern slopes of the mound at southeastern Turkey's site of Göbeklitepe has revealed additional circular monumental enclosures, a large building, and smaller structures.
These findings were made using ground-penetrating radar, according to a Türkiye Today report.
“The results are highly exciting,”
said Barbara Horejs of the Austrian Archaeological Institute. Göbeklitepe, a UNESCO World Heritage site discovered in 1963, is known for its 12,000-year-old monumental enclosures featuring T-shaped limestone pillars.
