12,000 Year Old Temple | Gobekli Tepe | The OLDEST Structure Ever Discovered | Turkey

[@GPosner8]

As a fellow history nerd, geek, aficionado, I completely identify with your excitement.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

The beginning of it all! Best history day of our lives.

[@JasonBrownafewmomentsl8er]

The video definitely did not suffer from your excitement. I would probably have been worse. I've wanted to go there for so long

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

We will always remember the day we saw Gobekli Tepe. We stay in Sanliurfa for 5 days and almost want back to Gobekli Tepe the next day just to see it one more time. 😀 I'v always thought about possibly putting tours together if people showed interest 🤔. Turkey has so much to see that we will be back sooner rather than later.

One theory about gobekli tepe that i like is as inspiration for the tower of babel or more like the story of the tower of babel is a metaphor/subconscious cultural memory of gobekli tepe . as the first ever time humans gathered to build a major/permanent structure gobekli tepe makes since as that inspiration. There are many parallels like the gathering of so many people for the first time ( in the area of the Babylonian empire) who were later dispersed spreading their culture and farming around the world and the fact the temple were later buried and each time they attempted to recreate it it was worse because the knowledge of how was slowly being lost. And don't forget even the term tower ( admittedly it was probably a later addition to the legend ) is relative, if the biggest thing ever built before was a mud hut then gobekli tepe would be a tower.

One big reason we are so drawn to this site is all the theories and mystery behind its origin and what effect it had on human civilization moving forward. The theory of the Tower of Babel and Gobekli Tepe could be correct or the right answer could be something we have never thought of. Another site could be found 50 or 100 years from now that changes everything again. We may never know! Another site in the area, Karahantepe, is still being excavated and could be even older than Gobeklitepe.

Thank you for sharing. I am a ruins geek and to now know that there is a definitive place where civilization actually began. You two have never displayed giddiness before.

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

We love seeing ruins! Although we are always excited and happy to be in a new place, to display that type of giddiness takes something special. Gobekli Tepe will be hard to top!

Hello you two, just so cool.. As I was watching, Russell came over and knew exactly where you were. He had watch that on the history channel and was so fascinated in there history as well. So wonderful you two are doing such wonderful work and learning, loving it as you are together. Miss you, stay healthy, safe and LU💕

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

Hello! We are loving how many people knew about Gobekli Tepe and had the same point of view as us before we got a chance to actually see it. Every day we learn something new and enjoy what we are seeing but this day we will always remember. Thank you so much for following along. We miss and love you too and will love to visit the farm next time we are in Michigan.

You two are adorable. I love your excitement ❤️

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

Thank you! This is excitement to the max and will be hard to top but we will sure try!

[@mikeydrop]

Best day of his life 😂🤣 how could you let him get away with that?

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

Hahahaha I guess there is one benefit to her not listening when I talk. (I am always talking).

[@YoureNowOnTV]

You’re amazing! Thanks for sharing and the energy you share with us. 😁👍

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

This temple is amazing. We just pointed the camera and tried to put coherent sentences together while being the most excited we have been in a very long time. Thank you for watching!

Hunter gatherer temporary location or a settled site... what do you think?

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

From our research before visiting the site and after, Gobekli Tepe was a temporary site that people returned to. Settlements may have come later but archeologist have determined the first structures would have been built by hunter gatherers. Another question to also think about. Are these these structures the product of larger communities after man began to farm or is farming a product of building these structures and the people began to have more of a reason to settle?

[@herodotus7]

@@SOSASATSUNRISE Great questions. Hopefully they keep digging and finding more answers.

[@bardmadsen6956]

Not long ago they excavated between the two heroes of Enclosure D, your video is the first, I have seen, that one can see from the tourists' walkway, the Seven Avians in a row (symbology of the Pleiades) on one of the baces - 8:27 & 8:40. The lead archeologist told me emphatically that they are not within Gobekli Tepe, the powers that be can't handle my interpretation of the site. Someone should address the pigeon (sacred family of birds) excrement on the monument. The site is not a mystery to me and yes the builders' were recovering from the end of the Ice Age yet few realize that there was space bombardment from the Taurid Stream that seems to emanate from the Pleiades. This meteor stream is still a danger, another denial from academia. Everyone should read my work on the subject as it is prudent to our survival.

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

Woah! Your knowledge far exceeds ours on the subject but I understand where you are coming from. While in Goreme, we did learn the importance of the pigeons to the people in the region. Fascinating to say the least and hopefully archeologists do learn more and more as each site is excavated. Thank you for watching and leaving your thoughts!

Those taxi rides are still cheaper than my 20 min ride into Belgrade for $70 😅😅

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

Everything is cheaper than your $70 tax ride in Belgrade 😂

Or there was much more advanced civilization before ice age and during ice age they lost a lot of their knowledge and advanced technology. Then after ice age slowly started live back like they used to live before, but without technology. They might hunt because they could loose seeds and everything what they used for framing before. There was definitely advanced civilization before. Even Sphinx in Egypt has traces of water erosion which had to be from times where was jungle and a lot of rain in that area. It's much older than pyramids. We shouldn't believe archeologists everything. They just guessing. Same like science guessing about what is inside of Earth and they still have no idea what everything is oceans. It's so funny how everybody keep saying all those things like facts, because they taught us that at school, but even teachers have no idea if it is true. GOOD VIDEOS. YOU HAVE GOOD ENERGY AND LOOKS LIKE YOU LOVE WHAT YOU DO. KEEP ENJOYING IT!!!
