Huge statues, monumental buildings and massive figuratively decorated T-pillars - stylized human images up to 6 m high: 12,000 years ago, the world of hunter-gatherers was on the verge of settling down.
Long before Stonehenge was erected or the first pyramids built, the first sedentary communities in the south-east of Anatolia in the province of Şanlıurfa created unique monumental buildings with fantastic larger-than-life images. The most famous site, Göbeklitepe, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2018.
But who created them and what do they mean?
The enormous buildings and artistic expression are to be understood as the work of communities that formed with the beginning of sedentarization.
Spectacular archaeological finds and the reconstruction of buildings from the research of the international Taş Tepeler project in places such as Göbeklitepe, Karahantepe, Sayburç and Çakmaktepe paint a comprehensive picture of this revolutionary era. They are complemented by contemporary photographic interpretations by Spanish photo artist Isabel Muñoz.
