Karahan Tepe is the sister site to the enigmatic Göbekli Tepe

Karahan Tepe is the sister site to the enigmatic Göbekli Tepe, that sits around 23 miles southeast of Göbekli, upon an elevated limestone ridge. It has many striking similarities to Göbekli. Firstly, it consists of T-Shaped pillars – 266 of them that mostly form parallel rows. The pillars have relief carvings, and appears, like Göbekli, to be deliberately buried under a great artificial mound, although this could be natural, as after 10,500 years the accumulation of dirt, combined with high winds, could cover it back up. The comparisons do not end there. It also has serpent relief carvings, strange indentations, large cup-marks, porthole stones, and an unfinished T-shaped pillar still in the quarry – the focus of this video. A similar monolith sits in the quarry at Göbekli Tepe, and may be part of an ancient tradition of leaving the largest monoliths in the quarry.
