That's huge.
And the stones are incredibly heavy.
So yes, it would have been hard to move these stones, but not impossible.
And yet again, the much more interesting question is why?
We're going to give your brains a bit of a rest and slow down a bit because this is mind-blowing stuff.
Calling Gobekli Tepe a religious site is quite bold, because nobody knows why it's there or what it was.
Some people do say, like me, that it's a temple, the oldest one we've ever discovered.
Some people say it's a memorial, and others say it's a place that provides a prophetic warning.
But we're going to talk about the pillars a bit more before we go into that.
The five metre pillars at the heart of each enclosure.
They seem, and this is so exciting, to depict people, specifically men.
If you look at them closely, you can see that the pillars have belts around their midsection and the outline of loincloths and crucially, hands.
But if all of these T-stones represent men, if we're running with that, there's one thing that's missing.
They haven't got any heads.
We are stupid, but also there's lots of things that nobody knows.
Only a tiny fraction of Gobekli Tepe has so far been excavated.
And even that small bit has already changed so much of our understanding of how we got here.
Mainly because Gobekli Tepe is a hugely sophisticated structure.
It has carvings, reliefs and etchings on the surface of the stone pillars, depicting all sorts of things, leopards, lizards, snakes, vultures and jaguars.
And interestingly, all of the carvings are animals that really exist, not mythical creatures.
