I’ve been quite fascinated by the findings in gobekli tepe since it’s the hometown of my family (sanliurfa). But one thing bothers me, nowadays it’s a Kurdish city with a big Kurdish population, we are actually zaza but we are Kurds none the less.

Do the Kurdish people have any ties to gobekli tepe? What I’ve read the Kurdish history is blurry and unsure, but in my mind the people who built gobekli tepe should be ancestors of today’s Kurds. Different tribes and peoples have of course mixed during the millennia’s to make today’s Kurds but are the Kurds today related in a straight line back to the inhabitants of gobekli tepe? Sorry for bad English
