Göbekli Tepe
On a hill above the Anatolian plain lies Göbekli Tepe, a ring of carved pillars older than civilization itself. Its stones bear animals and abstract symbols, evidence that myth preceded agriculture and ritual shaped settlement. Long before cities or kings, people gathered here to imagine order in the chaos of creation.
Göbekli Tepe is called the First Dialogue - the moment when humanity began to speak collectively to the unknown. Archaeologists and philosophers study it as proof that cooperation predates hierarchy; that faith was once a communal experiment in meaning, not a system of control.
Today, its enclosures are roofed for preservation, yet the open sky still dominates the view. Pilgrims from every federation walk between the T-shaped stones in reverent silence, reading the carvings as the first script of reason itself - the dawn of shared wonder.
