I'd not heard of this before, and it's astounding.
"The apparent date of Gobekli Tepe – first erected in 10,000 BC, if not earlier – caused a deal of skepticism. But over time archaeological experts began to accept the significance. Ian Hodden, of Stanford University, declared that: ‘Gobekli Tepe changes everything.’"

I heared about Gobekli already a few years ago. But it seems the site is much larger than just this one spot.
11.000 years old, imagine that!

OK ... exciting new research, so thanks, but the site has been known for not quite 60 years (since 1963) ... and excavations have been under way for much of the past 25 years. See:

Still astonishing, and worth knowing about if you haven’t heard before. In fact, if anyone wants to tell me something interesting, even if that thing is well known, I’m all ears!
