While Göbeklitepe revealed many important points, there are still questions waiting to be answered by the scientists. By whom those temples were built? How were those 60-ton stone pillars carried and erected? Why were they buried with tons of rock and earth? What was the actual purpose for which they were constructed? These are outstanding mysteries which will probably be resolved following years of further study. What we know for certain is the fact that future findings in Göbeklitepe will continue furthering knowledge about human history, and revise the accepted discourse.
Architecture :
No architecture structure that could be thought as a house has been found in Göbeklitepe. It was mostly memorial type cultic structures that have been found. The geophysics researches show that around 300 obelisks were used in the structures founded in Göbeklitepe. There are shapes in the rocky plateaus near the region and the aim of these shapes are not known. The most important finds were discovered in the third layer during the first 3-4 years of the digs. Lately, some fragmented human bones were also found.
Foxes, snakes, wild boars, cranes, wild ducks are most common. Most of these were carved into the flat surfaces of these pillars. Then again, we also come across some three-dimensional sculptures, in shape of a predator depicting a lion, descending on the side of a T-pillar.
The unique method used for the preservation of Gobeklitepe has really been the key to the survival of this amazing site. Whoever built this magnificent monument, made sure of its survival along thousands of years, by simply backfilling the various sites and burying them deep under, by using an incredible amount of material and all these led to an excellent preservation.
