During a visit to Göbeklitepe, Dr. Oz said he would introduce the historical site on his widely watched television program, The Dr. Oz Show. Göbeklitepe has recently been added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
“If we forget that history, we can suffer even today, but if we remember the meaning and importance of Göbeklitepe, it can change our future,” he said.
“I will prepare a program in America with the information I have collected in Göbeklitepe. My show is already being broadcast in 100 countries, including all Arab countries, Eastern Europe, Asia, and of course in America,” Dr. Oz said.
He added that such sites were important as the people who created big monuments 10,000 years ago actually changed the course of humanity.
Dr. Oz interviewed Lee Clare, Göbeklitepe project coordinator of the German Archaeological Institute, and Bahattin Çelik, head of the archaeology department in Ardahan University.
“It’s really amazing that Gobeklitepe is in Turkey. Everybody should come and see it,” he said, adding that the site was discovered after a sculpture was found in a field.
