Archaeologist argues World's oldest temples at Göbekli Tepe 'were houses for men, not gods'

The idea was formed when intricate carvings or reliefs were discovered at the site, which Ted Banning postulates could have indicated the ancestry or tribal status of the people living in these 'house societies'.

What do you think? Communal homes or structures for religious rites, or both?
