"Archaeologists and anthropologists consistently underestimate the intelligence of our ancestors." We are in very tight agreement.

Indeed. I am amazed how little attention this gets, considering it basically turns history on it’s head. Stuff this sophisticated 12K years ago, nearly twice as old as anything else out there? I truly can’t believe how they can blow off the magnitude of it.

The laws of time and space are relative in the sense that they work differently in different parts of the universe. The Vedas explain this.

The size of some of the critters back then, could be..
What will they dig up next?
Jimmy Hoffa? Clinton’s Legacy? Obama’s real birth certificate?
I wish I had pursued archeology, and digging. :-)

I know you have a number of links to info on Gobeki Tepe.
Why not post the most intelligent and levelheaded and let some new folks learn about this amazing archeological site?
As I recall the site is at the top of a mountain so just dragging the enormous stones up to the site is an amazing feat.

The truth is, imho, the level of discussion about that site hasn't resulted in the edification of the participants. If I had to make a wild guess, there are as-yet unknown remains of contemporary settlements in the immediate vicinity, meaning that there was a permanent population near the place, and they built it for their own cults (whatever they were) and the settlements thrived from what we would now call the tourist trade; in the medieval sense that traffic would be considered pilgrimages. The source of the large stones may be nearby, but if not (and even if) there will be found some kind of causeway or unpaved roadway, probably leading to the nearest waterway. Such structures have been identified at Stonehenge and other places, and antedate the monuments, because they were evidently used in the construction.

This, and the recent discovery in Indonesia, which is just as old, are simply amazing.

Yeah. I warned my people when we first came to this planet, “Cut up some stone and stack it up,” I sez, “you’ll drive them nuts,” but did they listen? Nooo. It was nothing but “Zortan, show them fire,” and “Zortan, give them a wheel,” and pretty soon the Zeta Reticulians move in and stack some rocks and there goes the neighborhood and who gets all the credit? Don’t even start me on the Sphinx. “Put Qzzlt’s head on a horse’s ass,” I sez, and look what the idiots came up with.
Stones. We shoulda just stacked up some dang stones.
Dude! When is your book coming out?

“this is the most fascinating archeological mysteries in the world, IMO.”
I think it’s pretty interesting, and as such deserves very cool mysterious music...and a movie!

With the fighing in Syria only 80 kilometers away, and a very porous border with Turkey.... farmers are already moving out of the areas near the border towns. Hopefully no stray rockets will come near this site -_-
