Archaeology: Göbekli Tepe

[Darth Wagtaros]

There was a worldwide flood with 100 plus foot tsunamis, earthquakes, etc in November of 7640 bc caused by a comet/meteor. We call the parts that still exist proto-Encke, Oljato. It killed off most civilization for hundreds of years. by [email protected]

I wish.

I've seen it before, but it is still amazing. The date of complex social organization keeps being pushed back further and further.

The site raises a host of questions - including how on earth non-agricultural folks were able to build it. How was the surplus necessary to support carving and hauling huge stone pillars obtained?

And why was the whole site deliberately buried?

With only 5% of the site examined there is obviously a lot of interesting work ahead.
