Mystery 1: The Garden of Eden's Blueprint — Göbekli Tepe You are standing on a windswept hill in southeastern Turkey, looking at a site that shouldn't exist. Before you are massive T-shaped limestone pillars, some nearly twenty feet tall, carved with intricate reliefs of scorpions, lions, and vultures. The wind is the only sound. There are no roads nearby. No city. No explanation. German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt began excavating this site in 1995.
