The significance of this site is textbook changing. Historical time is set back six thousand years. This was not supposed to happen. 

We walk up steps, across railroad beam walkway. Every step, the anticipation grows. We are witnessing a religious and a agricultural phenomenon that goes back 12000 years.

After the beginning of the Younger Dryas, an event 12,800 years ago, the Earth was hit by a swarm of comets. Comet Encke broke up as, it passed through our Solar system. 

Earth was hit in Canada, Europe, Mexico, southern South America, Greenland  and Iraq. These locations were definitely impacted. This caused death and destruction all over Earth. 70% of all animals on Earth, weighing over 120 pounds, perished.

Göbekli Tepe was a very important site and the ancient people wanted to protect it and save it from the destruction of Earth from the heavens, so they buried it 800 years after creating it. From them doing this, some organic material like charcoal was in the rubble, which was used to cover the area with. Archeologists used the charcoal they dug up to carbon-date the Göbekli Tepe excavation. This means the carved T-shaped stones with animal reliefs could be older than 12000 years. Grain, which the ancient people grew in the area was found under the rubble that dates the archeological site, and proves that they where growing cereal crops. 

All the dating and chronological order had to be pushed back as this area is older than the Sphinx, Pyramids and Stonehenge archeological sites, Making Gobekli Tepe as the oldest archeological site on Earth.
