Gobekli Tepe in Turkey is dated to about 2000 years earlier. But who’s counting.

What is significant about the discovery of Gobekli Tepe in Turkey?

Image result for Gobekli Tepe in Turkey
Located in modern Turkey, Göbekli Tepe is one of the most
important archaeological sites in the world. The discovery
of this stunning 10,000 year old site in the 1990s CE sent
shock waves through the archaeological world and beyond,
with some researchers even claiming it was the site of the
biblical Garden of Eden.

It’s a good thing that minotaur was killed.

I didn’t write the headline, I only posted it.

And you posted this pic why?

""Archaeologists deep in the Jordanian desert have discovered a 9,000-year-old ritualistic complex near what is thought to be the earliest known large human-built structure worldwide."

Gobekli Tepe in Turkey has this beat by around 2 to 4 thousand years.

Because that’s what the object reminds me of!

People were tougher back in those days!..............

There’s a site similar to Gobekli some miles away from it that is even older.

“Gobekli Tepe in Turkey has this beat by around 2 to 4 thousand years.”

I am aware of that site as well. But as I mentioned to another I did not write the headline.

“It’s much more G rated than what I would’ve posted.”

Why are you somehow offended by an article that reports on something revealing a little truth.

[Zathras]

You did fine!
Thanks for the info!!!
