40 ton megaliths, carbon-dating shows that the complex is about 12,000 years old, that means it was built around 10,000BC. By comparison, Stonehenge was built in 3,000 BC and the pyramids of Giza in 2,500 BC. Gobekli is thus the oldest such site in the world, by a mind-numbing margin. It is so old that it predates settled human life. It is pre-pottery, pre-writing, pre-everything. Gobekli hails from a part of human history that is unimaginably distant, right back in our hunter-gatherer past. How did cavemen build something so ambitious? This is also near where Noah was said to have settled following the deluge that covered Atlantis.

  • Take a walk through these ‘temples’; worshippers cannot enter or exit gracefully, blind alleys confound the devout, there is no connection between inner and outer circles and no permanence - each structure served a purpose, was filled in and an another built nearby - with lessening enthusiasm. A temporary pagan deity appeasement arena fits better than an agrarian religious edifice. Astronomic characterizations of solar eclipses should correlate with Gobekli Tepe stone records of them.

  • When the ice age ended and skies cleared, our primitive ancestors watched in horror as the moon collided with the sun and solar flares leaped about as night battled day. Fearful tribal leaders inspired followers to re-create this spectacle with intersecting stone circles, T shaped sun and moon deities placed in the centre circle surrounded by smaller star deities and animals of the night and day that battled to the death. Subsequent eclipses required burial and building another 'temple'.

  • Cavemen did it .

  • On of many prehistoric sites that defy explanation . Nothing we've been told of our history applies Same with Puma Punku . The evidence defies logic . We couldn't do this back then . Not without help . The earth has been here for several billion years is it that much of a stretch to think we might have been here for tens if not hundreds of thousands of years ? All alone ? Please ...

  • There were no Proto IEs back then. The proto-eurasiatic language was being spoken probably in a wide area.

  • Let's face it our so-called experts know nothing and show their abysmal ignorance each time they jump out with flagrant statements i.e. it's a temple, built by a hunter-gatherer group, a civilization prior to writing etc. etc. when only 5 percent of this site has even been excavated since 1994...it's anyone's guess...something big was happening back then (worldwide) the likes we cannot imagine and left to reasoning of our bumbling experts we will be forever in the dark.

  • How do they know it was a temple? What if it was something else? Maybe it was a place of science or knowledge.

  • What a place. I would love to visit it and see for myself.

  •  I keep hearing the words temple worship etc but no evidence to prove this ...
