Ayanlar Höyük

MegalithicTürkiye

Pre-pottery Neolithic mound site (also called Gre Filla) in Hilvan district, Şanlıurfa Province. One of the 12 sites in the broader Taş Tepeler complex. Largely unexcavated as of 2025 but shows surface T-pillar evidence consistent with the Göbekli / Karahan tradition.

37.5500°, 38.4000°

Look Closer — this site carries open questions: stones heavier than the period's tools could lift; geometry beyond period explanation.
