Göbekli Tepe raised, then buried

Göbekli Tepe raised — monumental, pre-agricultural — then buried; whether on purpose is debated.

In plain words

Huge carved stone circles are raised at Göbekli Tepe before anyone farms, and later buried; the excavators now debate whether the fill was placed on purpose or slid in from the slopes. The record shows monumental building coming before agriculture, the reverse of the usual story.

The mechanism

ANOMALY AT THE HORIZON — monumental construction precedes farming, which inverts the standard sequence
