Chatalhoyuk.

Two majorly old sites in Turkey: Gobeklitepe.....was just in National Geographic within the last year as evidence of human existence earlier than previously thought.

Before Gobeklitepe, the oldest was at Chatalhoyuk....I think 7000 years ago---if I remember correctly. First evidence of hunters and gatherers settling down for the first time and farming and domesticating animals.

That is big time, people.

I was here 22 years ago and don't remember ANY of what I saw today. I am for sure looking in my pictures from then when I get home.
