Göbekli Tepe

Göbekli Tepe (Turkish for "Potbelly hill") is a hilltop sanctuary erected on the highest point of an elongated mountain ridge some 15 km northeast of the town of Şanlıurfa (formerly Urfa / Edessa) in southeastern Turkey. Göbekli Tepe is the oldest human-made place of worship yet discovered.[ The site, currently undergoing excavation by German and Turkish archaeologists, was erected by hunter-gatherers in the 12th millennium BC (c. 11,500 years ago), before the advent of sedentism. Together with Nevalı Çori, it has revolutionized understanding of the Eurasian Neolithic.

About the burying of the site, it might be one of those civilizations mentioned in the Quran who were buried upon their wrong doings.Also, Quran doesn't give a specific year for the emergence of living beings on earth.

Take a walk through these ‘temples’; worshippers cannot enter or exit gracefully, blind alleys confound the devout, there is no connection between inner and outer circles and no permanence - each structure served a purpose, was filled in and an another built nearby - with lessening enthusiasm. A temporary pagan deity appeasement arena fits better than an agrarian religious edifice. Astronomic characterizations of solar eclipses should correlate with Gobekli Tepe stone records of them.

Take an amazing site that can potentially tell us more about the origins of human civilization than any other site previously found, and mix it up with Noah's Ark, a fantastical magical story from a much more recent civilization. Why? Because hey guys, there are ANIMALS in the ark myth, there are ANIMALS carved on pillars in Gobekli Tepe! Coincidence?! I THINK NOT.
