Göbekli Tepe has its fair share of ancient mysteries, and a small bone object, often referred to as a spatula, is one of them, found in 2011 at the iconic 11,500-year-old site in Southeastern Anatolia and measuring just 5.3cm by 1.9 and with a thickness of just 3 mm.

You’d be forgiven for swiftly walking past it in a museum, but according to some, it’s an incredibly important artefact, because it’s the first pictorial representation of the famous Göbekli Tepe T-shaped pillars ever discovered. Or is it?

The claims regarding this small bone artefact are something I can look into without any bias. It is something that has always split opinion and so now, with a good knowledge of Pre-Pottery Neolithic Turkey, I feel I can give my own independent take.

In this video, I take a look at the claims made by Andrew Collins, the counter claims by the German archaeologists who work at Göbekli Tepe, and then I conduct my own analysis and give my own interpretation.
