A protective canopy shields the 12,000-year-old circular stone structures and distinctive T-shaped pillars of Göbeklitepe in southeastern Türkiye.
Türkiye’s ambitious Taş Tepeler Project is drawing growing international attention through overseas exhibitions and promotional campaigns, transforming the Neolithic archaeological region into a globally recognized cultural destination, according to the project’s coordinator.
Necmi Karul, coordinator of the Taş Tepeler Project and head of excavations at Göbeklitepe and Karahantepe, said the initiative has evolved beyond a series of archaeological excavations into an international research model exploring one of humanity’s most significant historical turning points.
