Dating Göbekli Tepe: How Old Really Is It? | Ancient Architects

I’ve seen a few comments in the past few days that have questioned the dating of Göbekli Tepe with some people believing the site is much older and some believing it’s much younger. Some people have even said how they’ve never seen any radiocarbon data published. Well, a simple Google search not only brings up a blog post about the subject by the German Archaeological institute, but also a paper by archaeologist Oliver Dietrich, so the information is available if you really want to find it. Accurate data is even listed on Wikipedia. These links are all listed below. Even though the information is not hard to find, I thought I’d put together a short video anyway to give a brief overview of what we know.
