There is some interesting takes on this (and other very old megalithic sites like Stonehenge) in the book The Apocalypse of Yajnvavalkya that suggests that this site was actually a training camp for ... how to say... the ruling class.
Göbekli Tepe is the world’s oldest known temple.
Older than agriculture.
Built 12,000 years ago by hunter-gatherers.
The temple was intentionally buried.
The discovery changed our understanding of history.
Humans came together to build religious centers before they settled into societies.
