We journey back nearly 12,000 years to explore Taş Tepeler, the "Stone Hills" of Southeastern Türkiye. Follow us through the monumental pillars of Göbeklitepe and the ritual mysteries of Karahantepe as we uncover the dawn of human society and the very first settled communities.
Trace the roots of humanity's great transformation at Taş Tepeler, where the very first farmers domesticated Einkorn wheat and forever changed how we live and eat.


Discover how Turkish Airlines has brought this ancient history to life by serving the "World’s Oldest Bread" to passengers 30,000 feet in the air.
