Turkish police officers guard a monolith, found on an open field near the temple from the 10th millennium BC. The monolith, 3 meters high, was discovered near the UNESCO World Heritage site named Gobekli Tepe, which has megalithic structures dating to the 10th millennium BC, thousands of years before Stonehenge. Turkish media reported Sunday that gendarmes were looking through CCTV footage and investigating vehicles that may have transported the monolith. Turkey's Gobekli Tepe temple is the latest place to be caught up in the viral trend. The Unesco world heritage site built 12000 years ago is the oldest known structure in history, made from a series of standing stones.
