The sensational discovery of the cult plants at the Göbekli Tepe, up-to-date presented in the federal state museum of Baden in the special exhibition „The oldest Monuments of mankind “ of 20.1.2007 to 17.6.2007, saves still far larger plants than so far admits. With the help of the geomagnetic methods (cesium magnetometer - total field survey) we could map already 2003 further circle plants despite the difficult area. In the summer 2006 succeeded by ground penetrating radar investigations circle plants with a diameter up to 40 m to prove. Animated time slices of the ground penetrating radar (GPR) are shown. One measured in half meter profiles with 200 MHz antennas. In 2007 we continued our investigation with the ground penetrating radar and we foud more circle plants around the mound.
