The hilltop sanctuary of Göbeklitepe, a temple complex that dates back to Neolithic times, has been added by UNESCO to its tentative list of World Heritage Sites, a precursor to inclusion on the actual list.

The site in the Southeast Anatolian province of Şanlıurfa dates back more than 10,000 years and is believed by some archaeologists to be the world’s oldest place of worship.
