New 3D SCAN Finally Reveals How Göbekli Tepe T-Pillars Were Made

For 11,600 years, one question has haunted archaeologists: how did hunter-gatherers with only stone tools carve, transport, and erect 50-ton limestone pillars at Göbekli Tepe? New 2025 findings using 3D scanning technology finally reveal the quarrying techniques—thermal shock fracturing, precision cuts within millimeters, and advanced stone-working methods that appear fully formed with no learning curve. But here's the problem: the answers make the mystery even deeper, because the research shows these pre-agricultural people achieved engineering feats that would challenge modern construction crews, yet left no evidence of how they actually moved and erected these massive carved monuments.
