\"\"Newsweek<\/a> reports on a shocking archeological find in Turkey \u2014 an ancient temple that is far, far older than anyone would have guessed:<\/p>\n

A revolution in the story of human origins\u2026a structure so ancient that it may be the very first thing human beings ever built.<\/p>\n

The site isn\u2019t just old, it redefines old: the temple was built 11,500 years ago\u2014a staggering 7,000 years before the Great Pyramid, and more than 6,000 years before Stonehenge first took shape. The ruin predate villages, pottery, domesticated animals, and even agriculture\u2014the first embers of civilization.<\/p>\n

In fact, Schmidt thinks the temple itself, built after the end of the last Ice Age by hunter-gatherers, became that ember\u2014the spark that launched mankind toward farming, urban life, and all that followed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
