GÖBEKLİTEPE GÖBEKLİTEPE 9 8 In geomagnetic and geo-radar scans of the area, about 20 circle shaped worship grounds with 20-30 mt di- ameters were spotted. Only some of them have been brought to daylight so far. Among the strange findings in Göbeklitepe, there are desert monitor, reptile engravings, gruesomely de- picted wolf heads with open mouth and teeth, boars, cranes, stork, fox, snake, scorpion, wild sheep, lion, spider and headless human body, and male statues with exaggerated penises are important ones in understand- ing the belief systems of the people who adopted set- tled life 12,000 years ago.
