GÖBEKLİTEPE

The site was used at the dawn of the Neolithic period, which in southwest Asia marks the emergence of the world's oldest permanent human settlements. Prehistorians link this Neolithic revolution with the advent of agriculture, but disagree on whether agriculture caused people to settle or vice versa, as Göbekli Tepe is a monumental complex built on the top of a rocky mountain, far from known sources of water and which to date has not produced clear evidence of agricultural cultivation, which has played a prominent role in the debate. The original excavator of the site, German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt, described it as the "world's first temple: a sanctuary used by groups of nomadic hunter-gatherers from a wide area, with few or no permanent inhabitants." Other archaeologists questioned this interpretation, arguing that the evidence for the lack of agriculture and a resident population was far from conclusive. Recent research has also led the current excavators of Göbekli Tepe to revise or abandon many of the conclusions supporting Schmidt's interpretation.
