Göbekli Tepe Scandal: Ancient Statue STOLEN During Excavations!
On the night of September 25th, 2010, a crime happened at Göbekli Tepe – a priceless one-of-a-kind artefact was stolen from the site, and as far as I’m aware it has never been recovered.
I’d once again like to thank Jeffrey van der Lugt, who is @history_rev on Twitter for making me aware of this. Check out his profile at https://x.com/history_rev
On its doiscovery inside Enclosure C, the statue was estimated to be around 11,000-years-old and it portrays a tall human head and some kind of predatory animal on top of it, likely a vulture.
But 14 years after its discovery and theft, the statue has never been recovered. Watch this video to learn the full story.
