As I showed in my last video, we’ve already heard from archaeologist Dr Lee Clare about the work that’s taking place at Göbekli Tepe in 2024, and now there is news coming out of Karahan Tepe.
This year, archaeologists are working on the structures that surround the main heart of the site, that being the communal, special purpose Building, AD. It’s in this building where archaeologists came across a beautiful and rare carving of a running, wild donkey.
Watch this video to learn more about the find, and to hear about what's going on at Karahan Tepe this year.
