Göbekli Tepe: The Dawn of Civilization

Thousands of years before anyone thought to construct pointy Egyptian tombs or arrange mysterious stone circles, there was Göbekli Tepe: a 20th century archaeological discovery in Turkey that predates civilization itself.

    I've been to Ankor Wat, the Great Pyramid, Petra, even Stonehenge, but this site affected me the most. It's a simply mind-boggling site. I saw it in 2007, and you can't help but feel the awe of being in the presence of something so immensely ancient. It was so ancient it would have been immensely ancient even to the cultures WE consider to be ancient, if they'd been remembered at all. Yet, you can't help but feel a connection to those long-ago peoples. You ask, "What were your dreams? What gods did you worship...what did your people see in your time?" Its staggering

I have no idea if it is or not, but I find it so weird that those who claim to be scientist refuse to look at any evidence that doesn't support their theories. Instead they try and fit things they don't understand into their own ideas, instead of looking at them with an open mind. It's funny how they make fun of religion, yet do so many things that religious people do when looking at evidence they can't understand.

    This video is only a year old, but so much has changed. New evidence has come to light that this site did have people dwelling there, possibly year-round. Water was harvested by collecting rain in multiple cisterns, a burial has been found, along with hearths at deeper layers. There is no doubt that the tee-pillars represent humanoids from some ancient narrative as evidenced by arms, belts, necklaces, etc. carved into the stones. There are dozens of other contemporary sites, but one major sister site being excavated is Karahan Tepe 35 KM to the east that is more focused on humans in the artwork in comparison to the emphasis on wild animals at Gobleki Tepe.

    This needs to be updated. Apparently, there is now evidence of habitation on site, though it’s probably way too early to draw any conclusions. The question of how this (apparently) hunter-gatherer culture could have successfully organized the requisite social structures required to build this site is truly captivating. And just how they learned the necessary skills…is truly a potentially history-upending puzzle.

    @@ekklesiast , Yes, I agree. I would only add that other animals seem to organize in response to largely “preprogrammed” imperatives - instincts - and don’t (much) depend on improvisation or complex communication. The skills necessary for humans to build that site, however, would have been under development for thousands of years prior to its construction, and that includes the necessary “project management” that is a prerequisite to undertakings of that scale. You’re clearly correct to say they possess those advanced skills. But why, when, and how did they learn them? Who masterminded the means by which disparate, hunter-gathering tribes could come together peacefully, communicate, agree on goals, objectives, techniques, timing, materials, resources, population maintenance, work schedules and on and on that, so far as all experience has taught us, are necessary? It at least suggests we have some significant elements of our history very wrong, and that some kind of human collective existed much earlier even than the 12,000 years the site suggests.

    I don't think the t-shaped pillars are meant to resemble people (or gods). Look at those animal carvings. Those people knew how to make realistic images of the world around them. If they had wanted the pillars to resemble people or gods, they would look like people or gods, not like something a three year old put together from very heavy very large lego bricks. Picasso and cubism was still a few thousand years away. Those pillars probably had a very mundane function, which required them to be t-shaped. My guess is that they held up a roof of some kind. Maybe a large tent top, made from animal skins or woven reeds. Something that 12000 years later we would not find any remnants of. The way the pillars are laid out suggests that as well. You have smaller ones around the shape of the building and then two higher ones more to the middle. If I was trying to create a simple yet impressive "room" of some sort, that's probably the design I would come up with after a few tries. I studied history at a German university in the 1990s. The discovery of Göbleki Tepe was ... well ... at first our professors laughed about it and waved it of. It was too unbelievable to be true. The dating must be wrong. It must be some kind of hoax. But the data kept coming and it was convincing. It was earth shattering. Everything taught about early human history and the rise of civilization had to be re-written. I've still not been to Turkey to see it myself, but I absolutely plan to.

    Well, there are visible arms carved on the said stones, although they are not featured in the video, and pretty distinguishable as arms and hands down to the number of fingers and the hands come together on the "belly" (sort of) of the stone. It seems more like a stylistic choice, and could (maybe, possibly, we really have nothing more than vague connections) imply a ritual stance, as the hands gathered around the belly feature (or at least used to feature) in many religions around the globe, in muslim prayer it is still practiced as a stance. (don't quote me on any of this, I happened to watch a documentary with a lot of speculations involved a few years ago)

    It's extremely important to notice two things when considering Göpekli Tepe: 1) that 95% of the site remains deliberately unexcavated. how can one possibly estimate the age or the purpose of the site, if we have only ever seen 5% of it? and the fact that despite of it being the oldest megalithic site in the wolrd the archaeologists just refuse to dig the site prove an agenda to keep the secrets of the site hidden. there' simply no other reason. and yet they insist they know when it was built and by what level of civilization based on that mere 5% which already contradict their idea. 2) the two distinctly different construction styles present at the site: the massive megalithic building style with the protruding animal carvings, and the distinctly primitive small round block style which the walls are built with. there's exactly zero reason to assume these two styles were built at the same time or by the same people, or by a same level civilization. return back to number 1).

Look at the carvings and you know Fox is meeting here, Bear over there, etc. Of course you're also invoking the spirit of the animal with the carving.

    A theory: the constant building, burying and restarting wasn’t due to design flaws, but fear. Whatever they were building caused terror in the neighboring peoples, and they killed the builders and buried the site. Only for the descendants or relatives of the builders to return to the site and restart construction. This could also explain how the building techniques grow worse over time, as the most advanced of the culture were purged early and their understudies or apprentices begin construction again.

    If the most sophisticated construction found was the oldest, and dates back 13,000 years, how many millennia do you think it took those ancient peoples to master that building skill? It took thousands of years to completely forget the technique, may have take that long or much longer to develop the process. Where are the examples of this civilization PERFECTING this technique over time? They did not just START at Gobekli Tepe, that seems to be the pinnacle of their stonework and civilization. Wait until we find their earlier buildings. This just keeps pushing the "Dawn of Civilization" back by thousands of years. And we have no idea what we haven't found yet. Peoples from areas like the Yellow River Valley, the Indus River Valley, Aboriginal Australia and New Zealand, the original builders of Machu Pichu, even some parts of North America, show true antiquity in their cultural origins. I have the feeling 13,000 years ago may not be nearly far enough back to find the real origins of civilization in human culture.

Teleportation to Sirius and Urfa can be made every July. Adam and Eve were brought down to earth through this dimensional gate. There is Karahantepe around one kilometer from Göbeklitepe. Gog Magog tribes, who lived about 20 thousand years before Adam and Eve, were lowered to the Karahan Hill. atlantis = turkey manisa. tomb and treasure of h.z suleyman = turkey manisa. ark of the covenant = manisa. Jerusalem is Istanbul. h.z jesus was born in manisa ascended to the sky in istanbul beykoz 1-Efes (Ephesos) 2-İzmir (Smyrna) 3-Bergama (Pergamon) 4-Salihli (Sardes) 5-Alaşehir (Philadelphia) 6-Denizli (Laodikeia) 7-Akhisar (Thyateira) It is around Manisa in 7 churches mentioned in the Bible.

    Göbekli Tepe is a school. Pillar 43 is simply a map of the Levant. Part of Jordan, all of Lebanon, most of Syria, and part of Turkey. The Vulture is the Golan Heights and the Scorpion is the mountains to the right of the Golan Heights that are shaped like a scorpion. You can see it on your phone. The dog at the bottom left of the pillar is the mountains to the right of the Dead Sea. They are totally shaped like a dog with a square face and legs. The top of the pillar depicts the Mt Lebanon Mountains (the square “belt” is the Beqaa Valley) then up to the Mediterranean (the three curling waves are a tsunami tossing man, large beast, small beast down the coast…the flood) with the very top of the pillar depicting the mountains of Cyprus in the distance. The bird on the right is the Euphrates River (the Euphrates has long straight “legs”), with the square tail end of the fish being Harran. It is a physical map. Each animal or shape is a separate mountain/water structure: food, shelter, fresh water. They are all positioned and oriented correctly which is why a good map is easy to prove. We still navigate around the same earthly structures today. Göbekli Tepe is a school and this was a map of their country in a classroom. Honestly, I had an Indiana Jones moment about a month ago and wanted to share it with the world. It is a map: no astrology, astronomy, religion, or aliens I promise. Note: Göbekli Tepe means “Potbelly Hill” and that’s how it would have be drawn on a map…like the Jordan River being drawn as a snake on the pillar!

Also you must check the museum before the entrance for more context and the little 10 minute long installation there really helps with the experience. They are still digging around the area there were a bigger field about 500 meters away. I can’t wait to visit there again and learn more about that place it was truely magical!

I wish this kind of revolutionary discovery would come along for physics. Scientists need a new direction to start looking for why the observable mass of the universe is only a fraction to what the calculatiins say the mass would be. Dark Matter/Energy is am interesting theory but we can't measure it; can only observe the effects it has on the universe. That's gotta give; either we find a new, testable, measurable, observable answer and try to move on from Dark M/E, or someone has to have a breakthrough. I need the Gobekli Tepe of Physics.

    Younger Dryas Comet Hypothesis intensifies... especially now that Karahan Tepe and I believe one more site like that have been discovered in that region. These sites indicate highly ordered society, rather than hunter-gatherers. You need a surplus of labour, and a lot of it, in order to build a thing like that. Let alone the astronomical allignments of the site or weird sculptures showing animals found nowhere that region. Oh, and it has been INTENTIONALLY BURIED for some reason. Oh, the Pyramids' quality also deteriorates in later stages of their construction rather than improve. Just as if they were losing previous generations' expertise and building skills abd could not replicate them.

    @@Kalleosini the most interesting question about Gobekli Tepe is exactly how did those ancient hunter gatherer/foragers manage to support a social system enoughly advanced as to put that whole thing in place . Hunter gatherer/forager societies of today , such as those of some Papua New Guinea hill tribes have indeed shown signs of the amount of societal and hierarchical organisation that would be needed in order to construct a site of Gobekli Tepe's magnitude and complexity , yet , none of them ever built anything more advanced than a few , impressive but relatively temporary , wooden towers . Judging by the population of those tribes , it seems that Gobekli's ancient residents , must've been at least twice as numerous as they are , which can mean either two things 1) Gobekli's nature was some kind of Heaven on Earth type of place , with almost unlimited access to food , water and everything else needed for those who built it to abandon their mere survival schemes and take time off their lives in order to built that whole thing up 2) they practised a form of foraging so successful that led to them reaching amounts of wealth similar to those of agriculture , a practise that would only appear on Earth , ~5000 years after their deaths . I think the answer lies in Religion ... we all know how far can humans go for that

    Just a couple of points to discuss: 2.53 - stated it was 4 centuries. Likely a slip and meant to say 4 millennia. The age of the pyramids may be far older. Claims the location was built 13,000 BC. This contradicts other sources I've read, making it older. Perhaps he meant to say 13,000 years ago (11,000 BC)? Time is relative and the first could have been built on over years, though I somehow doubt the use of flints to do so. The outer 'T's' appear to be there for the roof and the 'phallic' symbol simply looks to be a 'T' with the edges removed. I doubt they were temples, but possibly a meeting place, like a man cave? Each build could have been related to a specific group, or leader and covered when they passed, with others erected for 'new' dynasties. At the end of the day, it is interesting they are dated to around the time of the Younger Dryas periods, which means civilization could indeed have been reset by an unnatural event. Open to your thoughts.

    Amazing right?! Civilization goes so much further back than we know. Arrogant of us to think we already had it figured out

    hang on 3:28 they did find pottery around Gobekli Tepe so pottery was already invented obviously masonry too as the structure is built. 13,000 BC I assume is more of an approximate date? cause it was built closer to 10,000 BC roughly 1,000 years before Jericho was built from what I heard.

    We’re learning. Evolution is not linear. Human A did not necessarily follow Human B who came right before Human C. We were all jumbled up, Various versions of the Sapiens were existing at the same time. Why are we surprised when we discover even more proof of that when we uncover the physical constructions of what they left behind. There is so much, and even so much more, we have yet to learn.

    🤣 You mean according to Schoch - whose conclusions are rejected by all credible geologists. Further he lacks any tangible evidence to demonstrate said supposed mythical civilization as actually being real. That makes his hypothesis "argumentum ad ignorantiam" so as to sell books. Find better sources of information - just saying.

    How's about an update with the latest information like dwelling have been found, cisterns and graves. Just watched an archeologist that works the site and learned that much but he had no ability to present as you.
