Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Nobody knows what these pre-pottery people were called or called themselves, but today a Turkic term is used - Taş Tepeler, which translates to "rocky hills", and the name Gobeklitepe means "potbelly hill".

göbek may mean "center", "core" or "kernel" as well as a "roundabout"
