Closure of Göbekli Tepe: Erosion?

Abstract

With the discovery of Göbekli Tepe, Urfa has proven to be one of the oldest settlement in history and has been named "Zero Point of History" due to this feature. What happened in the history left countless artifacts and historical mysterious in Urfa and turned it into an open-air museum. One of the most important current mystery is why the life of Göbekli Tepe disappeared. It is an important fact that civilizations disappear not only for reasons such as war, but also due to environmental problems and sometimes, on the contrary, they have survived for many years. Based on these facts; this study aimed to draw attention to the issue of "erosion", which continues to be a major environmental threat and problem for today's world, and this issue has been studied specifically for Göbekli Tepe. In the light of all this information, an answer was sought for the question of whether Göbekli Tepe was undergrounded by human or natural means.
