Sayburç, Şanlıurfa Province, Turkey – approx. 9,000 BC
Unearthed in 2021 beneath a modern village in southeastern Turkey, Sayburç revealed a Neolithic settlement dating back over 11,000 years. Archaeologists have uncovered a large circular communal building carved from limestone, lined with benches, and decorated with some of the oldest narrative reliefs in human history.
What makes Sayburç especially remarkable: it lies in the same region and belongs to the same cultural tradition as Göbekli Tepe—both part of the “Taş Tepeler” (Stone Hills) network of ultra-ancient sites.
Among the finds are detailed limestone reliefs featuring human figures, leopards, and a bull — arranged in a true narrative scene rarely seen this early. Excavations have also revealed over 50 structures, including homes and communal spaces, pointing to a surprisingly advanced community for the time.
