TL;DR Summary

Carvings found at the Gobekli Tepe archeological site in Turkey, believed to be the world's oldest temple, depict animals such as foxes, gazelles, cranes, boars, and possibly birds or stylized vultures, but not dinosaurs. The carvings were most likely made by hunter-gatherers who believed that all living creatures have spirits. One pillar of particular interest, the Vulture Stone, suggests a comet hit the Earth around 11,000 DC, killing thousands and triggering a mini ice age that forced humans to develop farming techniques. The pillar's carvings feature a headless man, a scorpion, and a vulture, symbolizing human disaster and extensive loss of life.
