Author has peer reviewed book on the theory that Gobekli Tepe monoliths can be read as representing constellations and the destruction caused by multiple comets hitting Earth memorialized by survivors.

Too bad the geological record does not record any such event.

[Red Badger]

Where is the proof?
There should be holes in the ground, burned forests, iridium all over the place................

Is this the Younger-Dryas event?

[momincombatboots]

Lol.. peer review said the hymalayas will melt by 2020.

[cicero2k]

Carolina Bays and Nebraska Platte River depressions point to Saginaw Bay, Wisconsin as epicenter of one of the impacts. The ice was a mile thick there/then and ejecta was made up of ice.

There’s iridium all over the world at the 13,000 year level of soil.

The Clovis flint knap arrow point making indians all perished at this time.

Fascinating.

I’m not saying it was comets, but it was comets.

Ping.

*Three thousand years after it was founded, Gobekli Tepe was purposefully buried to protect its heritage.*

but wait, there’s more: “They reached Britain in about 4,000BC.” and built Stonehenge.

Same folk? So maybe not such a slow, quiet demise but more of a hasty, forced exodus?

Sounds like “Magicians of the Gods” by Graham Hancock which came out several years ago.

There were two strikes 1000 years apart (each was a one mile diameter rock) - the first ended the last ice Age, the second began the Younger Dryas, the coldest recent period.

The asteroids are believed to be the remains of a giant comet which broke up long long before. It is believed that the Earth passes through the dense part of the debris field every so often and receives one mile diameter asteroids (otherwise it just a nice light show). The original excavator (now deceased) believed the carvings indicated future strikes. It is a warning to the future and is why it was buried. We are entering such a period now.

Can’t be. There were no suv’s around

I’ve been following the Gobekli Tepe story for several years now, this is very interesting.

However:
Archaeologists around the world have been left shocked and furious after the Turkish Culture and Tourism Ministry gave the go ahead for ‘conservation work’ at the ancient site of Göbekli Tepe, which has resulted in irreparable damage from heavy equipment and concrete being poured around the historically important.

The Younger Dryas Impact Event, postulated here by researchers Ted Bunch, Richard Firestone and Ken Tankersley, may have led to the extinction of large mammals, such as mammoths, saber tooth cats, and 33 other species of large mammal 12,900 in the past. Perhaps more disturbing is the effect the event had on the first inhabitants of America, the so-called Clovis people. The Clovis culture disappears at the same time the animals do.
