Unreal Discovery: 터키의 Göbekli Tepe보다 오래된 것

In 2017, a construction worker conducting routine excavation work near the city of Mardin in southeastern Turkey struck a hard object underground while operating an excavator. It appears the impact caused the machine to shake and hit bedrock or a large boulder. He descended to investigate what was hindering his progress. What he discovered was not a rock. It was a smooth, carved stone, intentionally shaped into geometric patterns by human hands. And when archaeologists arrived to investigate what the construction worker had stumbled upon, they realized a surprising fact. This was not just another ancient site. It is potentially older than Göbekli Tepe, an archaeological discovery that has already pushed the timeline of monumental architecture back thousands of years and rewritten human history. This site has been named Bonkuklu Tarla, and early dating estimates suggest it dates back approximately 12,000 years, roughly contemporaneous with Göbekli Tepe.
