It neighbours the UNESCO World Heritage site of Gobekli Tepe, which is home to megalithic structures dating to the 10th millennium BC and is thought to be the world's oldest temple site.

Watched an interesting YouTube video awhile back which compared carvings on the *back* of the Easter Island statues (I didn't even know there were carvings on the back!) with the carvings at gobekli tepe. Many iconic similarities including the bird-like creatures. Could these all be ruins from the same antediluvian culture?

While going on about the carvings, only 3 badly eroded ones are shown. Here's the site : obviously made by the same culture that made Gobekli Tepe:

. . . and who I guess would be imprisoned or killed if they showed up now, since Islam forbids art that portrays anything living. Doesn't that put those Neolithic dudes way ahead of the sh*thole Moslem country that sits above ground now--where it's illegal to create what the Turks just found?

The descendants of Turkmen from Central Asia who run the Anatolian peninsula now have no connection to the Neolithic geniuses who made this stuff. What will the Turks do? Destroy it? Probably sell it for the greater glory of money. (But please to be making sure there are no graven images on the bills.)

11,000 years ago was before agriculture and domestication of animals. Had to do a lot of hunting and gathering to get all this manual labor done. Someone kad to be in charge too with a vision.

As far as we currently know. This site may have been the prototype.

Or, it could be that they are unrelated. Especially since Easter island 8 or 9 thousand years later.

Let’s hope archeologist Indiana Jones doesn’t show up - he usually destroys archeological sites after removing one item.

They say the site is older than Gobekli, but nowhere did I see an actual date attesting to that. You have one?

No one has yet come across a radio or tv set or lost skyscrapers. I guess they are all buried under the oceans and the poles.
