There is no way of knowing exactly when Gobekli Tepe gained its current name, although the chances are it replaced an earlier one meaning exactly the same thing, a process that might have been going on since the site’s final abandonment around 8000 BC…Armenians, who formerly occupied eastern Turkey when it was part of Armenia Major, call Gobekli Tepe Portasar, meaning “the hill of the navel.”
