'Myths in Stone' Exhibition in Berlin Celebrates Göbekli Tepe with 96 Artifacts through July 2026
The international exhibition 'Myths in Stone: Göbekli Tepe and the World of the Last Hunters' opened at the James-Simon Gallery in Berlin in February 2026 and remains on view through July 31, 2026. Featuring 96 original artifacts from the Şanlıurfa Museum, the exhibition shares with the world the secrets of humanity’s oldest and most mysterious archaeological site. Among the recent findings highlighted in the exhibition are indications of semi-permanent habitation at the site—challenging the view that Göbekli Tepe was purely ceremonial—and the discovery of a ritual human statue positioned as a 'guardian' between the pillars. Research also suggests that the carvings on Pillar 43 depict a lunisolar calendar that recorded a catastrophic comet impact around 10,850 BCE. As a sacred portal of Gaia Gateways, Göbekli Tepe remains one of the great enigmas of human consciousness. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to contemplate, even from afar, the objects once touched by the hands of Earth’s first temple builders—beings who knew, 12,000 years ago, that certain places on the planet are portals between dimensions.
