яIRadio-Gobekli Tepi Complex-Klaus Schmidt-Pt.2

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 have been excavating there since 1994 and he joins us to talk 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. The temple is believed to have been erected in the 10th millennium BC (about 11,500 years ago). It is believed to be the oldest human-made place of worship, it's even been called the Garden of Eden. Only about 3-5% of the site has been excavated so far, which has unveiled several stone circle rooms, only one of which has been dug down to the floor. As many as 20 such structures are thought to exist under the ground at the site, these have been detected by radar scans. These stone circles have large T-shaped pillars, some of the heaviest stones weight up to 50 tons. The monoliths are decorated with carved reliefs of animals, abstract pictograms, sacred symbols and similarities to Neolithic cave paintings have been pointed out. The carefully carved figurative reliefs depict lions, bulls, boars, foxes, gazelles, donkeys, snakes and other reptiles, insects, arachnids, and birds, particularly vultures and water fowl. Göbekli Tepe means "Hill with a potbelly" although there already exists other interpretations of the name, connected to the word "Zep Tepi" or "The First Time" a period in, ancient Egyptian beliefs, a mythological golden age when the gods lived amongst humanity together with half-divine offspring of gods and humans. Is Göbekli Tepe the Garden of Eden?

@AnglesM888 I don't think it is as simple as fire and sun worship.. All Shamanistic cultures used natural drugs to come in contact with other realms. They understood things that our culture has lost.

It doesnt pup up from no where Brother, even thou the Brainwashing these days says so!!? They were FIre and sun worshiping people, and its simple to understand as primitive people the two things were the biggest help to them. Sun which gave light and warm and Fire which gave them independent and felling of being safe. If our world is run by so few people like today, then humanity is finished!! all these beautifull things, all the history. They are changing it or telling lays about it!!?
