What if Göbekli Tepe Was an Open School? A Thought-Provoking Approach to the Genesis of Cultural Revolution
Mehmet Firat
History of Education, v53 n3 p460-476 2024
This pioneering study investigates the transformative shift in the nature of education during the Neolithic revolution, utilising Göbekli Tepe's role as an archaic open school that attested to this change. This exploration is underpinned by the premise that "if education is a process of acculturation, its origins must be sought in the cultural revolution of humans." Beyond the conceptual boundaries of the dominant western ontology, the open schooling role of Göbekli Tepe considers indigenous social ontology. In this study, the educational role of Göbekli Tepe has been examined in the symbolism of local culture, its special pilgrimage and storytelling traditions. This study hypothesises that Göbekli Tepe is an archaic open school that was a testament to the cultural revolution of humans.
