DAVOS – Anadolu Agency

To promote Göbeklitepe, ice sculptures of the ancient site are on display next to the Davos Congress Center

Southern province Şanlıurfa’s Göbeklitepe, recognized as the world’s oldest temple and “point zero of history,” is being promoted in Davos, where the 46th World Economic Forum is being held. 

The ice sculptures of Göbeklitepe, which are on display next to the Davos Congress Center, have found fans in state ministers, academics, top officials of the world leading companies, artists, sportsmen and NGO representatives. 

Located in the Örencik neighborhood 18 kilometers away from the city of Şanlıurfa, Göbeklitepe was first discovered in 1963 during surface surveys carried out by researchers from Istanbul and Chicago universities. 
Since 1995, the Şanlıurfa Museum and the German Archaeology Institute have been collaborating in the excavations.
