    Default Gobekli Tepe

    Göbekli Tepe, is a hilltop sanctuary erected on the highest point of an elongated mountain ridge some 15 km northeast of the town of Şanlıurfa, in southeastern Turkey and 500 miles away from Istanbul, Turkey. It is the most astonishing archaeological discovery in modern times and also thought to be the oldest advanced civilization on Earth.

    I wish you would not see that NATO will go in and raze the place to the ground. If you would stop seeing it so vehemently then it is highly possible that it will not happen. I hope you get it.

    Ancient structures uncovered in Turkey and thought to be the world's oldest temples may not have been strictly religious buildings after all, according to an article in the October issue of Current Anthropology. Archaeologist Ted Banning of the University of Toronto argues that the buildings found at Göbekli Tepe may have been houses for people, not the gods.



    The buildings at Göbekli, a hilltop just outside of the Turkish city of Urfa, were found in 1995 by Klaus Schmidt of the German Archaeological Institute and colleagues from the Şanlıurfa Museum in Turkey. The oldest of the structures at the site are immense buildings with large stone pillars, many of which feature carvings of snakes, scorpions, foxes, and other animals.




    The presence of art in the buildings, the substantial effort that must have been involved in making and erecting them, and a lack of evidence for any permanent settlement in the area, led Schmidt and others to conclude that Göbekli must have been a sacred place where pilgrims traveled to worship, much like the Greek ruins of Delphi or Olympia. If that interpretation is true it would make the buildings, which date back more than 10,000 years to the early Neolithic, the oldest temples ever found.

    However, Banning offers an alternative interpretation that challenges some of Schmidt's claims.

    Göbekli Tepe site


    He outlines growing archaeological evidence for daily activities at the site, such as flintknapping and food preparation. "The presence of this evidence suggests that the site was not, after all, devoid of residential occupation, but likely had quite a large population," Banning said.

    Archaeological evidence for domestic art from the Neolithic period exists as well, Banning says, such as the wall paintings at Çatalhöyük, another archaeological site in Turkey.

    Banning suggests that the purported temples may instead have been large communal houses, "similar in some ways to the large plank houses of the Northwest Coast of North America with their impressive house posts and totem poles."

    "If so, they would likely have housed quite large households that might provide an extremely early example of what the French anthropologist, Claude Lévi-Strauss, called 'house societies,'" Banning said. "Such societies often use house structures for competitive display, locations for rituals, and explicit symbols of social units."

    It is … likely that some of these buildings were the locus for a variety of rituals, probably including feasts, mortuary rites, magic, and initiations," he writes. "Yet there is generally no reason to presume a priori, even when these are as impressive as the buildings at Göbekli Tepe, that they were not also people's houses."

    German archeologist Klaus Schmidt, from the German Archaeological Institute, who have been working as the head archeologist at Göbekli Tepe, a temple site located in southeastern Turkey close to the boarder to Syria. Klaus has been excavating there since 1994 and he talked to Red Ice Radio about the excavation work, and to give us his impressions and theories about the site and the people who built it and worshiped at this ancient temple site.

    Hi The One,
    Thank you for this thread. For the past month or so I have been having dreams of Göbekli Tepe. On more than one occasion during skywatching the name has popped into my head. I have no idea why? Today I just watched a coast to coast show with Richard Hoagland and he mentions that Göbekli Tepe might be part of the a 2012 event. I thought there might be some synchronicity in this. cheers...

    Thanks TheOne vindicates Graham Hancocks work, the big worry is will mainstream archaeology debunk it !!!!

    They still think the Egyptions built the Gt.Pyrimids and uptill now only seem to follow Darwins theory of evolution, so be ready for some stupid explanation for something that looks a lot more exotic than something built by few hunter gathers.....Steve


    Listening to Klaus Smitz he is firmly in conventional archaeology thats what I was afraid of ,
    If he has any imagination he was to scared to share it. His explanation that it is a temple for
    occasional use by hunter gathers does not feel right to me, theres a lot more to it than that imho..

    Gobekli Tepe - THE OLDEST TEMPLE IN THE WORLD



    Published on 24 Feb 2013


    Göbekli Tepe Turkish: [ɡřbe̞kli te̞pɛ][2] ("Potbelly Hill"[3]) is a Neolithic hilltop
    sanctuary erected at the top of a mountain ridge in the Southeastern Anatolia
    Region of Turkey, some 15 kilometers (9 mi) northeast of the town of Şanlıurfa
    (formerly Urfa / Edessa). It is the oldest known human-made religious structure.[1][
    4] The site was most likely erected in the 10th millennium BCE and has been under
    excavation since 1994 by German and Turkish archaeologists.[5] Together with
    Nevalı Çori, it has revolutionized understanding of the Eurasian Neolithic.

    Göbekli Tepe is located in southeastern Turkey. It was first noted in a survey
    conducted by Istanbul University and the University of Chicago in 1964, which
    recognized that the hill could not entirely be a natural feature and postulated that a
    Byzantine cemetery lay beneath. The survey noted a large number of flints and the
    presence of limestone slabs thought to be Byzantine grave markers. This work was
    first mentioned in print in Peter Benedict's article "Survey Work in Southeastern
    Anatolia" (1980). In 1994, archaeologist Klaus Schmidt of the German
    Archaeological Institute of Istanbul noted Benedict's article and visited the site,
    recognizing that it was in fact a much older Neolithic site. Since 1995[7]
    excavations have been conducted by the German Archaeological Institute of
    Istanbul and the Şanlıurfa Museum, under the direction of Schmidt (University of
    Heidelberg 1995--2000, German Archaeological Institute 2001--present). The hill
    had been under agricultural cultivation before being excavated. Generations of local
    inhabitants had frequently moved rocks and placed them in clearance piles and
    much archaeological evidence may have been destroyed in the process. Scholars
    from the Hochschule Karlsruhe began documenting the architectural remains and
    soon discovered T-shaped pillars facing south-east. Some of these pillars had
    apparently undergone attempts at destruction, probably by farmers who mistook
    them for ordinary large rocks.

    After listening to Linda's piece above she mentions near the end that the
    structures at Gobekli Tepi looked like tuning forks and other ancient sites
    were possibly doing the same.It reminded me of a item I saw on Davids site
    yesterday that scientists discovered the universe was made up of information.

    Ion says the Universe is made up of frequencies, so it makes sence our
    ancestors were maybe trying to tap in,and the elite/priest classes knew
    how, with or without ET help ???







    Quantum physics has confirmed it - the universe is comprised of information
    (as David Icke has been saying all these years): Here's what it means

    Sunday, 12 May 2013 11:30



    'As quantum physics can now confirm, the universe we live in is not made up of
    solid objects but of energy and information. This discovery holds vast implications
    for understanding the nature of our world and in understanding the true source of
    vibrant health. It also means that it is possible to encapsulate all the concepts
    discussed in the world of holistic natural health into a single unified theory.'

    I find it hard to believe that people invented religion which is an abstract notion before they adopted agriculture which is just a step beyond hunting and gathering. Of course if these classically trained academics espoused a theory that perhaps otherworldly intelligences taught them how to use sound to move objects, I personally could accept that more readily. Different strokes for different folks.

    Like mainstream Egyptologists to the archaeologists on 'Time Team' which I enjoy, There mind set is still governed by the fact modern humans
    are still new entities, and for them to go back to the last Ice age is an achievement..LOL.... I think we are much older possibly millions of years
    old. Ion Says the original earth continent with the Lemurian civilisation is very old. Billy Meier Plajeran info puts our common ancestors way
    back as well. We still have a while for mainstream to acknowledge these or other possibilities...imo...LOl..

    Before excavation the landscape was a scattering of 'potbelly hillocks'
    hence the name....



    Sunday, June 12, 2011

    Göbekli Tepe means Potbelly Hill



    Tepe means hill, mound or knoll in Turkish. In southeastern Turkey, north of the
    border of Syria and north (or within) the Fertile Crescent of the Neolithic, we find
    place names such as Ziyaret Tepe, Kenan Tepe and Göbekli Tepe on today's
    archaeological maps [1-5]. All these tepes and the surrounding areas are digging
    sites. Göbekli Tepe is located nine miles to the east of the Turkish town of
    Şanlıurfa, (also known by the shorter name Urfa). Göbekli Tepe means Potbelly Hill.
    Local people gave this name to the site, which is part of a ridge and has the shape
    of a rounded crest [5].

    Being much older than Stonehenge, Göbekli Tepe has made a lot of headlines over
    recent years as the first temple and spiritual meeting place (sometimes with a
    question mark [4]). Among the mysteries and fascinating artworks of this neolithic
    architecture are the relief animals carved in its stone pillars. There also is a fierce-
    looking creature erupting from a limestone wall, similar to sculptures we find at
    gothic church buildings.

    The archaeologist Klaus Schmidt of the German Archaeological Institue (DAI), who
    is researching this site for over ten years together with European and Turkish
    scientists, gives us hints that excavation results can be interpreted in various ways.
    Was this a spiritual locus or a Neolithic Tivoli Garden? Further, this place has a
    Trojan dimensions, at least in the vertical direction: Schmidt is not certain if the
    bottom layer has been uncovered yet. Göbekli Tepe may change our understanding
    of the history of civilization. Schmidt makes an interesting point that the common
    belief (twenty years ago) was, that civilization was driven by ecological forces, but
    that we are now learning that civilization is a product of the human mind [5].
    Whatever the driving forces behind this site, we at least can agree in the spirit of
    Louis Armstrong and Fats Domino: I found my thrill on Potbelly Hill!
