“Down near Şanlıurfa there is a pot-bellied hill called Göbeklitepe.”

“How do you say that word?” asked Arther…

For bastions of the mono-linguistic English Isle:

göb-ek-li-te-pe sounds a bit like goob-eck-lee-teh-peh

Ayşe explained,

“Göbek – belly.

Göbekli – pot belly.

Göbeklitepe – pot belly hill…

…. something like that.”

Arther’s imagination demonstrated her explanation. We’ve heard stories of the Moon being made of cheese, but this was getting ridiculous; Göbeklitepe cheese T-shapes? But, it was merely Arther’s imagination, so no need to panic.
