"Located in the Germuş mountains of south-eastern Anatolia, this property presents monumental round-oval and rectangular megalithic structures erected by hunter-gatherers in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic age between 9,600 and 8,200 BCE. These monuments were probably used in connection with rituals, most likely of a funerary nature. Distinctive T-shaped pillars are carved with images of wild animals, providing insight into the way of life and beliefs of people living in Upper Mesopotamia about 11,500 years ago."

“该遗产地位于安纳托利亚东南部的Germuş山脉，特征为巨大的圆形和矩形巨石结构，据信为狩猎采集者在公元前9600-8200年之前的陶器新石器时代竖立，被称为城邑。这些古迹很可能与丧葬仪式有关，独特的T形柱子上刻有野生动物的图像，从中可以窥见约1.15万年前生活在上美索不达米亚的人类的生活方式和信仰。”
