gobekli tepe



It was late afternoon before we reached Gobekli Tepe,
the light was impossible for good details. Its on a hill with
a wide view of what's coming. It felt like a secret place
just the same, something of the quiet of a 'women's place'.
(as in the Australian aboriginal meaning)




Currently dated at 11,000 years old, there is a lot of
conjecture. A local farmer says his family is trying to get an
equal amount of land ~ the dig was their farm ~ from the
authorities, I hope they do or people won't divulge what they find.

There are some really interesting sites about it:
