11,000 years ago in the far south of what will someday be Turkey, a tribal priestess performs a rite of prayer to her people’s ancestors at the temple known as Gobekli Tepe. Characterized by massive T-shaped pillars set in earthen walls, this archaeological site is of special interest because the people who erected it appear not to have developed agriculture yet, instead still living off the land as hunter-gatherers. It goes to show that the people we stereotype as primitive can still develop complex societies and erect impressive monuments!
