Karahan Tepe is located just 68 km from Şanlıurfa and 50 km from Göbekli Tepe, and is rapidly gaining global attention as a site that may predate Göbekli Tepe itself.

Much like Göbekli Tepe and Nevali Çori, Karahan Tepe features a similar architectural layout, including over 250 “T”-shaped obelisks unearthed so far. The site is part of the “Göbekli Tepe Culture and Karahan Tepe Excavations” project, led by Professor Necmi Karul of Istanbul University.
