We visited Gobekli Tepi, the world's oldest temple. For interesting story read the link www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/12/19/111219fa_fact_batuman .
This temple is dated to aprox. 12,000 BC. It predates any alphabets known to scholars. Much is conjecture but it is archeological evidence of the earliest religion known to anthropologists. The site is in Eastern Turkey, which is more conservative than the west. We were just a few miles from the Syrian border and saw refugee camps in the area.
