Göbekli Tepe is an ancient archaeological site located in southeastern Turkey. It holds great significance in the study of human history as it is considered one of the oldest known examples of monumental architecture. The site dates back to the Neolithic period, approximately 11,000 years ago, making it older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids. Göbekli Tepe consists of several circular structures or temple-like enclosures, built using massive stone pillars. These pillars, some of which weigh up to 50 tons, are intricately carved with animal reliefs such as lions, foxes, and birds. The site's impressive craftsmanship and architectural complexity challenge our understanding of early human capabilities. One of the most fascinating aspects of Göbekli Tepe is its purpose. Unlike other ancient sites, it was not a settlement or a place for everyday living. Rather, it served as a ceremonial center or gathering place for early hunter-gatherer societies. The complex carvings and arrangement of the pillars suggest that it played a significant role in religious or ritualistic practices. The discovery of Göbekli Tepe has forced archaeologists to rethink the timeline of human civilization. It suggests that complex social and cultural structures emerged earlier than previously believed, challenging the traditional narrative of civilization progressing from simple to complex societies. Excavations at the site have revealed numerous artifacts, including stone tools, statues, and animal bones, providing valuable insights into the lifestyles and beliefs of the people who inhabited the region thousands of years ago. Göbekli Tepe is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and continues to be a subject of ongoing research and exploration. It not only sheds light on the early development of human civilization but also underscores the importance of preserving and understanding our ancient heritage.

The suggestive interior of a rupestrian church carved into the rock in the old town of Matera, in southern Italy, known worldwide as 'Sassi di Matera' (Matera's Stones). Dated in the early Middle Ages, the rupestrian churches represent one of the main characteristics of Matera. Born as religious and cult places, these spaces carved into the stone were later used as homes or shelters for animals. The ancient city of Matera, in the region of Basilicata, is one of the oldest urban settlements in the world, with a human presence that dates back to more than 9,000 years ago, in the Paleolithic period. The Matera settlement stands on two rocky limestone hills called 'Sassi' (Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano), where the first human communities lived in the caves of the area. The rock cavities have served over the centuries as a primitive dwelling, foundations and material for the construction of houses, roads and beautiful churches, making Matera a unique city in the world. In 1993 the Sassi of Matera were declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Wide angle image in high definition format.
