Gobeklitepe Archeological Site

Gobeklitepe is an ancient ruin called "the zero point of history" according to popular sources. It was discovered by German archeologist Klaus Schmidt in the middle of the 1990s and the findings changed history. The place consisted of 10–12 T-shaped obelisks located around a circle, and animal reliefs were carved on them. The site is listed by UNESCO on the World Heritage List in 2018. Today, it is one of the most visited historical sites in Sanliurfa and a historical landmark is known around the world.
