The 11,000-year-old Gobekli Tepe temple in southeastern Turkey was identified by its discoverer, Klaus Schmidt, as the first human-built holy place in history. Although it’s unclear what these ancient people would have worshipped, the Smithsonian Magazine noted that the carved stones there depicted animals that would have menaced them, like lions, scorpions, and snakes.
