Gobeklitepe

Göbeklitepe, which means "belly hill", is the oldest known temple in human history, and the first religious center on earth. Approximately 20 temples have been discovered in the region, and so far, six temples have been unearthed. The level of soil at the location of the building shows that the building was buried by human hands, not naturally. Göbeklitepe was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2018 and included in the World Heritage List. You can see at least 15 buildings and more than 200 obelisks, T-shaped columns, whose lengths between 3 and 6 meters, are thought to be stylized human figures. 3-dimensional lion relief. These figures strengthen the possibility that lions lived in Anatolia during the Neolithic period. The discovery of Göbeklitepe is an indication that settled life was passed through the temple, not agriculture. Before Göbeklitepe, all history books stated that the transition to settled life occurred with the emergence of farming and animal husbandry.

BalIklIgol

Experience the beauty of Abraham Pool and its cave through scenic views and nature walks. Balıklıgol, the Pool of Abraham is famous for its significance in Jewish and Islamic legends, where it is believed that Nimrod threw Abraham into a fire. The Cave of Abraham is a famous pilgrimage site in Urfa, believed to be the birthplace of Prophet Abraham. Devotees go there to pray and pay their respects to one of history's most revered prophets. The cruel King Nimrod ordered all newborn children to be killed upon learning of Abraham's coming birth, so he spent about ten years of his life in the cave as protection. A praying area has been constructed inside the cave, but the exact spot where Abraham was born is protected by a glass encasement. There are also faucets inside the cave where devotees can wash their hands with holy water. To enter the cave, you must go through the same courtyard as the Mevlid-I Halil Mosque.
