Göbekli Tepe, a brand-new archaeological site in Turkey, has revolutionized our perception of human civilization. Dating back to about 20,000 years ago, this giant complex boasts elaborate statues, giant stone pillars, and elaborate reliefs that render Stonehenge look primitive. What sets Göbekli Tepe apart as historically significant is that it was constructed by hunter-gatherers, supporting the fact that architecture preceded agriculture. Historians used to think that humans became sedentary to farm first, and then cities and monumental architecture followed. But this find indicates that the necessity for communal and spiritual spaces might have pushed early humans to settle down and create farming traditions.
