00:00Everything you know about civilization is backwards.
00:03The first city on Earth was built by people who refused to invent farming.
00:08In southeastern Turkey, buried under a hill, is Gobekli Tepe.
00:1411,600 years old.
00:177,000 years older than Stonehenge.
00:20Picture this.
00:22Massive limestone pillars, 20 tons each,
00:25carved with foxes, lions, and vultures,
00:28arranged in giant circles.
00:31And it was built by hunter-gatherers.
00:34People who still lived in tents, who still hunted wild animals.
00:38For a hundred years, our textbooks told us a simple story.
00:43First, we invented farming.
00:45Then we built villages.
00:47Then we invented religion and temples.
00:50Gobekli Tepe proves we got it completely backwards.
00:54These hunter-gatherers didn't come together to live.
00:57They came together to worship.
00:59They built a mountain temple first.
01:02And to feed the hundreds of workers needed to carve and lift those 20-ton pillars,
01:08they had to invent farming.
01:10Religion didn't come after civilization.
01:14Religion created civilization.
01:16I live in sight of a little bit.
01:16In this sien.
