• Potbelly Hill - Be prepared to be astonished by Göbeklitepe, the oldest known monumental religious site in the world, dating back to approximately 9600 BCE — that’s more than 7,000 years older than the Egyptian pyramids! Göbeklitepe is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has revolutionized our understanding of early human civilization. Its enormous T-shaped stone pillars, adorned with enigmatic animal figures and symbols, were constructed by hunter-gatherers long before the advent of agriculture or writing. Your guide will lead you through the circular enclosures of Göbeklitepe, explaining the intricate carvings and how this site has reshaped our perception of prehistoric societies. Göbeklitepe is often called “the zero point in time,” a place where history truly began. Whether you’re a history buff or simply curious, Göbeklitepe offers a breathtaking glimpse into humanity’s spiritual origins.

• Karahantepe - Following Göbeklitepe, the journey continues to Karahantepe, another remarkable site in the Taş Tepeler (Stone Hills) archaeological zone. Recently opened to the public, Karahantepe is rapidly gaining recognition for its well-preserved human statues, phallic stone carvings, and subterranean chambers. Although only a few centuries younger than Göbeklitepe, Karahantepe provides fresh insights into early Neolithic rituals and the symbolic lives of our ancestors. The site offers a more intimate view of the artistry and spiritual imagination of early societies in Southeastern Anatolia.
