tl;dr on the significance of discovery of this historical site: Up until that point, we have been thinking humans have built places of worship after they've settled down and started to grow crops. However, Gobekli Tepe was a pretty complex temple (most of it is thought not yet seen the daylight yet) built in hunter-gatherer era.
So in a way, it rewrote our assumption of ordering of some of the historical milestones in the history of humanity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe#Chronological_context https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe#Chronologica... I've personally visited it last summer and it was pretty cool.
