The Symbolic World of Göbekli Tepe and the First Cities: An Eliadean Approach

[@jamememes4114]

Non-scholarly comment: The fact that a city did not form around Gobekli Tepe, despite its apparent ritual significance, could be attributed to its natural isolation from water and other resources. Nevertheless: something that really intrigued me about this place is that it seems to have been intentionally buried, also at a period predating recorded history. This may have actually prevented a city from growing around it. Truly an interesting place.
