The Death Village Beside Göbekli Tepe (Sayburç)

Archaeologists at Sayburç, a newly uncovered Neolithic site in southeastern Turkey, are rewriting everything we thought we knew about early pre-civilization. Beneath a modern village, they’ve unearthed: Ritual carvings of humans standing between leopards. Evidence of burial rites and skull cult practices. Communal enclosures that point to complex spiritual life at the dawn of settled culture. Sayburç isn’t just another dig — it’s part of the wider Taş Tepeler (“Stone Hills”) zone, which includes Göbekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe, and Sefer Tepe: the cradle of organized ritual and the world’s first temples. 📍 Filmed in Şanlıurfa Province, Turkey 📩 For visits and research inquiries: [email protected] #GobekliTepe #Sayburc #TasTepeler #Archaeology #History #Neolithic
