What is the world's oldest temple?

Deep beneath a Turkish hilltop lay a secret, hidden for 12,000 years. It’s called Göbekli Tepe, and it’s the oldest temple ever discovered—built 6,000 years before Stonehenge, before pottery, and even before a single seed was ever planted for farming.

This incredible site was built by hunter-gatherers, who carved massive stone pillars with images of powerful animals. It rewrites everything we thought we knew about early human society. But that's not the biggest mystery.

After a thousand years of worship, the people who built it did something extraordinary: they carefully and deliberately buried their entire temple, creating the hill that protected it for millennia. Why? We have no idea. This short explores the profound mystery of why our ancestors would bury their most sacred creation.

If you love history's deepest, unanswered questions, Göbekli Tepe is waiting for you.
