Highlights

  • Before Civilisation – Step into the heart of humanity’s earliest known monumental culture at Göbeklitepe and Karahantepe, where towering T-shaped pillars and carved stone figures were raised more than 11,000 years ago, long before agriculture, cities, or written history.
  • Lost Origins of Monument Building – Explore a landscape where advanced stonework, symbolic reliefs, and large-scale planning appear thousands of years earlier than expected, challenging conventional timelines for technology, social organisation, and the origins of human belief systems.
  • Stone Gods of the Mountains – Witness sunrise among the colossal statues of Mount Nemrut, a high-altitude sanctuary combining immense scale, precise construction, and royal symbolism, set deep within the mountains of southeastern Anatolia.
