GÖBEKLITEPE: First Temple Ever

In this video I visit Göbekli Tepe, the oldest temple in the world. The Göbeklitepe site dates from 11,600 years ago and is believed to be a place of worship at a time our historians and archeologist assumed hunter-gatherers were nomadic people who did not create large civilizations. The ruins of Göbekli Tepe outside of Turkey prove otherwise. Come with me as I travel back in time to a place our ancestors decided to worship over all else.

I also visit Balıklıgöl in Sanliurfa, known in Jewish and Islamic legends as the place where Nimrod threw the Prophet Abraham into a fire which turned into water.
