I believe that Gobekli Tepe is the lost 'Hall of Records" 2 scenario's here. 1.) it was buried to protect the knowledge because they knew of an impending catastrophe coming. Or 2.) it was built and buried after the / a catastrophe to document what was lost as far as knowledge goes ;) Is why I believe it is / was a record for us to find.

It's the nuclear football, BC.

your interpretation is terrible.... a pillar inside a building is depicting 3 different buildings ? but you mock and dismiss other interpretations.... this is why people hate mainstream archaeology

You lost me, as did your credibility, when you questioned the ability of constellation symbols to be passed down through the ages. Taurus has been associated with the Pleiades for tens of thousands of years.

I'd recommend using home ground einkorn or khorasan wheat. Einkorn came first and was very nutritious and easy to grind using hand methods. Khorasan came later and is much harder to grind, but had higher yield in the fields. Both require a very wet dough and an overnight rest to allow the coarse ground flour to fully absorb the water. The overnight rest period is perfect to give time for a native starter culture to give the bread a bit of levening as well though it will still be a heavy dense loaf, like modern northern European 100% rye loafs. Even when rested overnight, it will be a wet and sticky dough. That is why the tray is useful. Even today, artisan einkorn loaf is baked in a preheated cast iron pot lined with parchment paper to contain the loaf and trap in moisture so it doesn't dry out in the oven. Without that, the loaf would run across the floor of the oven like hot lava. See the overnight artisan einkorn recipe in Carla Bartolucci's book. You might find that recipe on the Jovial youtube channel as well. Einkorn is the oldest cultuvated wheat in prehistory with evidence as far back as the end of the last ice age. Khorasan is much more modern, believed to be hybridized in Persia maybe ~6 thousand years ago. I bake home ground einkorn 2x a week for our family bread needs. Do the designs in the tray leave an impression in the loaf? Might be a way for each family to sign bread loafs and trays baked in the communal village oven.

The problem with those "bags" is that we don't know what these things are and for ancient ppl around the World these were important. If these were for example "pointy sticks" no one would talk about why different cultures came up with the same idea and it was important for them, because its a no brainer.... these things on the other hand we have no idea what they were, while it seems these things were very important for ancient ppl around the World... This is a legit mystery. I mean there is like a lots of objects that we would say its ok for cultures around the World to come up with independently ... carved animals no brainer... wheels and other things like that also no brainer... but that specific shape despite different cultures different art styles... I mean lets be honest we don't know, we just speculate and nothing seems to fit that "common important object" so we can all agree what it was...

I think this is a monument for rememberance of Atlantis.And built by Atlas and sons(NOAH AND SONS)

There is some possibility the bags and animals depicted at gobekli Tepe are symbolic of the great flood, and protection thereof, a historic marker if you will....

Symbolic, the bags refer to currency and wealth. The trade in grain originolly as if it were money, later it was other forms of currency including silver or gold or any other item used for trade. The bags in general is a symbol of wealth and power. Originally, at achient sites it likely depicted a place where grain may have been traded or stored. So on... there was early depictions of water buckets, however in any case it meant status.

This is an embarrassing load of absolute horseshit! So fucking retarded that it actually slows blood flow to the brain.

I am going to go on a limb here and say humans actually built it.

They have no clue but they don't want us to have an open mind. No clue and don't be looking for answers.

That bag along with the vulture that is a cloud a megastorm and vultures are death. Death that came from flooding from megastorms. Why a bag ? A carrier of water that cloud was not common , that's why they conveid one uncommon symbol. Vuktures came and feed on the dead

Thanks for the conference overview. Looking forward to the excursion videos!

The stone work at Gobekli Tepe shows two different levels of technology and most likely built by two different peoples separated by time. First, there are massive T-shaped columns, difficult to cut, transport and erect. Second, there are the primitive walls surrounding the T-shaped columns that are composed of small uncut rocks that show no sign of the sophistication of the T-shaped columns. It is hard to believe that one people created both the sophisticated T-shaped columns and the primitive walls.

None of these videos ever touch the fact that these dark melanated ppl built these 🙄

Uncover it all and then we'll talk!

I am astounded at the foil hat comments about older civilizations that were advanced. I believe true cognitive, frontal lobe, human thinking skills have been largely left in antiquity. These places are indicators of a booming civilization and emerging belief system. I see thousands and even millions of humans, suddenly with time on their hands and need to be kept busy. As animals we are aware of our death at all limes and we live scared of that so invent ways to deal with it. Religion. Look at people today. Still that way. Idle hands are the devils tools. Pyramids are the same way. People cannot get out of modern biases and ponder what millions of people were doing, pre-technology, for a life time. Eating food and watching sand blow? These were made by the hands of the humans in their day. Modern humans would never make it if life was suddenly like back then. They don't know how to work or how to count people and accumulated man hours over generations.

Puny man didn't build anything megalific. Yet their is lititure out there that clearly exposes who excalty did

This attitude towards hunter-gatherers by elitists is alive and well here in 2024.

What drugs are you taking 😂😂

Are you serious 😅😅😅for some rocks 🪨 😂😂😂

Is there pizza 🍕 in there 😅😅

I sherd do that 😂😂😂sometimes 😢😢

A fascinating presentation. One thing does keep hitting home though, and that's the understanding that it is archeologists who have (in the past and even recent past, and I would add even contemporary archeologists) given a picture of past peoples as being brutish and uncivilized and of lesser skill and perhaps even intelligence. How silly we have all been to take what archeologists tell us as particularly definitive of truth, rather than an interpretation that then seeps into what we think of as knowledge and truth... We learn more all the time, and sometimes there are outrageous claims make in one period of history that eventually end up with evidence to back those claims up later. Happens all the time, so 'debunking' presentations can often seem disingenuous and rather cute.

Oh my god yes thank u❤ its getting more and more important for Prehistory archaeologists to look at the East. Thank u so much for sharing. I feel this will be an absolute treasure for us❤❤❤

I am puzzled by why archaeologists persistently refuse to acknowledge the likelihood that lost advanced civilizations may have existed long before recorded history. They cling to the orthodox view of linear evolution of human beings and cultures, despite abundant evidence to the contrary.

Thank you for this interesting and rather complete overview. How wonderful that you could attend!

Can you do a video about an overview of all the phallus engravings?

This is the first of several videos I plan to release related to my recent trip to Türkiye for the World Neolithic Congress, mostly on the sites we visited.

3 minutes and you don’t answer the question

I have read many different hypothesis as to the meaning of those 'handbags' with links to sites all over the world having similar or widely disparate interpretations. Sitting in on more than a few lectures over the years I have had also noted a wide range of theories, however something that does come up a lot more than not is them being a symbol of knowledge. Until a further breakthrough happens I am happy with that explaination.

No one knows. And most probably never will. Everything is just speculation. One man's hand bag is another's seed basket.. I don't know, nor do you. We're you there? No.. So, your idea is just that. An idea

I wonder was there an earlier dark age lost to History resulting in the deaths of all Scholars and the elites through plagues and wars..?

They could represent houses or temple complexes. I notice each one has a different animal that are displayed elsewhere on "T" pillars in different complexes/areas within Gobekli Tepe.

The idea that Göbekli was built by some older high tech civilization is strange. They haven't even found any evidence of a written language which would be the first sign of an advanced civilization.

Not the Ankh symbol. Try again.

Your assertion that Sweatman's hypothesis does not hold up is misguided, as the depiction found below the sunsets can be counted as your "missing" solstice. And in fact, this is exactly what Sweatman proposes. The "handbags" representing the sun on the horizon, with the asterisms seen behind the sun on the equinoxes & winter solstice "inside" the bags. The summer solstice being what is depicted below the series of v's and boxes, with a vulture (interpreted as the "teapot" in Sagittarius) being the asterism seen behind the sun on that date.

The submerged archaeology in Haifa sound really cool, it's awesome that the Cist Graves could remain intact after thousands of years!!

This is stupidity arguing for this to be a town BS

You live out important information to make it fit your narrative 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Very interesting and informative. Thank you.

Just a rock 😂😂🎉

River rocks 🪨 😂😂😂

You have a great imagination 😅😅😅

How can you measure my mother in law 😂😂

They have lines on them 😅
