This site near Gobeckli Tepe shows evidence of the human emergence from the late Paleolithic into the Mesolithic. A transition of mankind from hunter gatherer to agriculture, the cultivation of eikorn and emmer, and evidence of domesticated livestock. It's as though this site first exposed in 1962 is a physical text book of a transition period in our history with consecutive levels of chronological progression to study from an area beginning to unfold before our eyes. Read the link I've provided to learn more details of this little publicized site. The significance is obvious.

I've added the google maps view for you that are interested in it's orientation. If you switch to Google Earth and enable your photo option you can see more photos of the structures there. Really cool stuff.
