Archaeological museum

Archaeological museum Review

Urfa also has a small but appealing archaeological museum, covering the area's long history. Especially interesting are sculptures from Göbekli Tepe but the star, unmarked beside the entrance, is a white, alien-looking statue, found in the Gölbasi lake in 1993. Nearly 13,500 years old, it is the world's oldest full-size man-made human figure. There are also a Hittite sculptures from the area, a collection of exquisite carved antique wooden doors and classical sculpture in the garden.
