Horrible narration.
A temple that dates to be between 7,000 and 12,000-years-old has been discovered at Kahin Tepe in Turkey.
Kahin Tepe is located in the province of Kastamonu, not far from the Black Sea and researchers from the Kastamonu Museum Directorate of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism have been working the site for the past few years.
Kahin Tepe is an Aceramic Neolithic settlement that dates back to between 7,000 and 12,000 years ago, making it just as ancient as Gobekli Tepe. It was inhabited by a Stone Age Anatolian people and during the 2019 season, a grinding stone and a number of personal ornaments were discovered. They even found the remains of a stone workshop, believed to have been used in the production of animal sculptures
Recent excavations have uncovered even more and archaeologists have found the remains of what they believe was a place of worship -- a temple -- located at the top of a hill. These remains consist of carefully planned circular and square stone walls. Talking to the media, the experts believe it is the oldest place of worship ever discovered in the Black Sea area.

Sidebar: a group of aceramic villagers left the mainland around 8000 years ago, taking their food species with them (including deer) and moved to Cyprus.
I can see the 16” guns in the turrets.
An inscription translated, only 10 worshipers allowed at any one time and masks must be worn!
You don't carry those suckers around for fun. Also suggests that they were already collecting grains as a major part of their diet.
Interesting.
