This monument has rewritten prehistoric archaeology and fascinated some theologians, who have linked the site to the Garden of Eden. Take an up-close look at Gobekli Tepe and its intricate carvings, which feature a landscape with wildlife, birds, and serpents. Then see how this 11,000-year-old wonder has forced archaeologists to rethink their understanding of the beginnings of human civilization.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"description description-center\" style=\"text-align: justify\">The episode will be on cable TV (Smithsonian Channel) i.a.
