Did a 12,000-year-old temple rewrite the origins of civilization?
New archaeological evidence from Turkey's Göbekli Tepe is challenging everything we thought we knew about human history. This documentary explores how recent excavations at the world's oldest temple are forcing scientists to rethink the very roots of organized society.
For decades, the timeline of human development followed a predictable pattern. However, latest excavations at Göbekli Tepe, a site dating back 12,000 years in ancient Turkey, are overturning established understandings of the Neolithic era. The discovery of such complex structures suggests that the foundations of civilization may be much older and more mysterious than previously believed.
