Gobekli Tepe (which means "bellied hill" in Turkish) is the oldest known human-made religious structure, dated to around 12,000 BCE, or to put it into context, 7,000 years before Stonehenge, 3,000 years before Catalhoyuk and 6,000 years before God allegedly created everything else. Gobekli Tepe was carved out before pottery or agriculture were discovered, or before people began to form true settlements, and its discovery has completely overturned what archeologists and historians thought about the Dawn of Civilization and ancient man.
