Archaeologists have just uncovered ancient structures in Turkey that could be 7,500 years older than Stonehenge — possibly making them the earliest known human settlement on Earth.

Discovered at Mendik Tepe, near the legendary site of Göbekli Tepe, these newly found buildings reveal advanced architecture, stonework, and even what may be the world’s oldest calendar carved in stone.

From homes and storage units to potential ritual spaces over 16 feet tall, these structures are reshaping our understanding of early civilization, suggesting that humans may have begun settling and organizing complex societies far earlier than we thought.

Could this be the true birthplace of civilization?

00:00Archaeologists just uncovered something 7,500 years older than Stonehenge,
00:04and it might rewrite human history.
00:07Deep in Turkey's San Lirfa region, at a site called Mendik Tipi,
00:11researchers discovered ancient structures that could be the world's earliest human settlement.
00:16These buildings predate Gobekli Tepe,
00:18the 12,000-year-old ritual site once thought to be the beginning of civilization.
00:23Unlike Gobekli's famous T-shaped pillars,
00:25Mendik Tipi has upright rectangular stones and elaborate stone walls.
00:30Some structures are small, likely used for food prep or storage.
00:34But others stand up to 16 feet tall, possibly used for rituals or gatherings.
00:39Experts believe this site could be from the very start of the Neolithic era,
00:43when humans first began settling down.
00:45And one pillar? It might be the world's oldest calendar,
00:49with carvings tracking days, months, and even star constellations.
00:53This discovery challenges everything we thought we knew about early human life.
00:57Mendik Tipi could be the missing link between hunter-gatherers and civilization as we know it.
01:02We've got a different perspective on the marinara.
01:03We've got to make sure that time might end up hurting ourона.
01:04We've got to make sure that it's not going on in here.
01:05Let's get into it.
01:06Let's do it.
