Description Segment D is one of the near circular shaped pillared areas in the best condition of Göbekli Tepe.

There are 5 more, usually smaller such pillared areas on this site, many of the pillars having elaborate carvings.
Göbekli Tepe is apparently a Pre Pottery Neolithic Temple dating back to about 9,000 BCE near the Eurphrates in South Eastern Turkey.

With kind permission from Dr. Klaus Schmidt, of the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut.

Original text provided: Anlage D ist die besterhaltene unter den kreisförmigen Pfeilersetzungen des Göbekli Tepe.
