Göbekli Tepe is an archaeological site atop a mountain ridge in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of modern-day Turkey, approximately 12 km (7 mi) northeast of the city of Şanlıurfa. The tell includes two phases of ritual use dating back to the 10th–8th millennium BCE. During the first phase, pre-pottery Neolithic A (PPNA), circles of massive T-shaped stone pillars were erected, the world's oldest known megaliths. Karl Schmidt believed that what he called this "cathedral on a hill" was a pilgrimage destination attracting worshippers up to 150 km (90 mi) distant.
What is fascinating about Tepe, is that it shows how humans had the desire to worship before farming and trade, it was made during a time when humans were still hunter-gathers.
Farming of certain goods didn't start until:
9000 BC Wheat/barley, Fertile Crescent
8000 BC Potatoes, South America
7500 BC Goats/sheep, Middle East
7000 BC Rye, Europe
6000 BC Chickens, South Asia
The makers of the site seemed to worship animals, they were probably animists in some form or other, but probably more literal, rather than figuratively minded.
