Assistant Professor of Mardin Artuklu University, Department of Archeology, Ergül Kodaş said that "according to the analyzes, the temple has 4 stelas. We think that it has a history of 11,300 years. Excavations continue but we discovered the stelas. One of the stelas is broken but the other 3 are still in perfect shape."
Kodaş added that they couldn't reach the floor of the temple yet but they aim to do it in a month. He also said that they haven't seen any figurative on the 4 stelas and the temple which is from the neolithic period similar to Göbeklitepe.
