خرابرەشک

Göbekli Tepe · The world's oldest known monumental sanctuary, raised on a hill near Riha around 9500 BC — millennia before Stonehenge or writing. Its rings of carved T-shaped megaliths, known locally by the Kurdish name Xirabreşk, rewrote the story of the Neolithic. UNESCO-listed since 2018.
