Bravo for allowing your guest to fully explain points without unnecessary interruption. As I watched your video i let my mind free associate with what was being presented and it occurred to me that the Vultures represented in the T shaped pillars may have been an expression of the value placed in Vultures by hunter and gather societies. Their circling above a dead animal guided hunters and gathers to their next meal! It’s nice to appreciate a accurate guide!

When Göbekli Tepe became public knowledge in the late 1990s, I was already pretty cynical about the orthodoxies about social evolution. My reaction was "I'll just sit back and have a few beers as I wait for the domestic sites to be discovered, because they are bloody well there." It took quite a few beers, but I was patient. The art at Göbekli Tepe told me what I needed to know. Growing up in the non-agricultural parts of Canada, I had no difficulty recognizing animal clan symbolism and understanding how the mythologies of hunting people work, and I never assumed that agriculture is a necessary precondition for sedentary life or monumental art.

We went to Gobeckli tepe last week it was truly extraordinary. We based our holiday in Turkey around visiting the museums at Şanliurfa ( the archeology museum and the mosaic museum) which were amazing but the main reason we went was to see karahan tepe and Gobeckli tepe . They are reconstructing the road to karahan tepe at the moment so it was a long bumpy ride from the main road through an extraordinary landscape surrounding karahan tepe . There is a small visitor centre there where there are toilets and somewhere you can have tea with a couple of people manning the visitor centre At most. We went up to the site There were a couple of archaeologists working but we were pretty much on our own as far as other visitors were concerned. The Gobeckli tepe site was very well organised with a visitor centre and shop and a shuttle bus up to the main buildings. The archeology museum has a full recreation of two of the main buildings which we saw first . What an amazing holiday it was and so good I'm planning on coming back in a few years especially to Karahan tepe .Great interview thanks . Liked and subscribed

Thank you so much to The Prehistory Guys for this wonderful, illuminating interview with Lee Chase. This was truly illuminating: eye opening - a report from the cutting edge of archaeological research in progress! Essential aspects of Goblecki Tepe were sketched - the domestic dwelling evidence, the degree of sedentism, the move away from a temple model, the symbolism, the "long lived" evolving nature of the site (several centuries), its straddle of Pre-pottery Neolithic A and B, of round and oblong housing, etc. etc. At the end the tentative proposal that we might see this great site as the culmination of Hunter Gatherer / Mesolithic culture whilst "neolithisation" slowly evolved around the fertile crescent was astonishing! This is great stuff! Thanks again.

What I heard about the rebuilding or later construction is the quality of the buildings declined over time. The same drop in technology happened in Mexico and Egypt as I've read. The scientists I respect the most are those who say the more they learn the more mysteries they reveal. Archeology and carbon dating is more of an art than a science that conclusively gives us concrete facts. We can't really know how ancient cultures lived from stone buildings that remain. It's like trying to guess what dinosaurs looked liked only from their bones without flesh or possibly feathers.

I admire dr. Clare’s work, his intelligence and passion. His final statement reminds me an article by Jared Diamond, “The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race” (Discover Magazine, May 1987, pp. 64-66). It’s a (sad) fact that modern intellectuals passionately hate the Neolithic period, that brought with it agriculture, domestication of animals, a great increase of the human population and clear social inequality. What a pity we abandoned the hunter - gatherer stage! Everything was so simple!... No more than 10 million people on our planet, with the eco-system virtually intact, and the human herd obedient and respectful towards the very thin layer of experts who knew better what they needed and wanted... Instead of this Earthly Paradise, we now have the reign of greed and brute force, with experts like dr. Clare and dr. Diamond living in semi-obscurity, without the wealth, influence and power they deserve!... Life is so unfair...

I would expect a correlation between wild grains and animals eating those being abundant in such areas possibly allowing for permanent settlement. Gazelle would point at more open space and grasslands. I always wonder if hunter gatherers wouldn't have just burned down the woods to create open spaces where grasses would grow and lure animals. At some point they'd figure out they can influence what grass grows there. Some animals attracted by the abundance of food would start living in the vicinity helped extra by a smart apex predator who kills the threats to himself, thus weeding out competition. So the basic hypothesis is agriculture started as a bait material for animal traps.
@douginorlando62602 жыл бұрын
I suspect fruit trees or nut trees were the first attempts at agriculture. If an apple tree bore fruit that can be dried and stored, why not deliberately turn the apple tree into an orchard by planting apple seeds? Seems obvious and very beneficial. And at harvest season every fall, the people would make their migratory rounds to the orchard (following the food), Other migratory stops could include the ideal fishing spot. Imagine River fish swimming away from a line of people slapping the water with sticks to herd them into a weir or net. And of course following the good animal hunting grounds which are also likely seasonal.

It is likely that sedentism was central to Gobekli, because it stands on a northern ridge overlooking a large arable plain (surrounded by less productive hills). That plain is rather arid today, but during the Holocene fluvial era, when the Sahara was fertile, the plain to the south of Gobekli would have been fertile for arable agriculture. The Gobekli site is perfect for early agriculture, with a productive plain the size of Sussex and Kent combined. Ralph

Very enjoyable, thanks. It is for me hard to imagine a semi-nomadic population possessing a class of masons of such for-the-times astounding craftsmanship, except perhaps induced through adverse climatic changes or territorial competition amongst groups that restricted mobility. Or because of extraordinary favorable conditions that ensured large surplus to gurantee their employment. It begs for social stratification in a predominantly hunter-gather albeit semi-sedentary society. It was quite enlightening to hear about Lee's ideas. The fact that the depictions could represent some collective conceptual worlds of myths, folklore or even poetry of an Homerian bard or a Griot _ a lá Durkheim! Which implies a linguistic group commemorating a shared golden past at times of perhaps radical changes in life-style. Very fascinating! How ancient!

I wonder... . This is certainly an interesting and *academic presentation by well-schooled speakers. But let us at the same time keep our wider perspective intact. When one studies Olden pre-History they find the potential for a contradictory analysis. ~~ Science shows the age: c. 12,500BCE represents the era of such building to be within a very 'terrible' timeframe where (fantastic!) Nature is concerned. Such structures around this planet were constructed just as the end of the most recent Ice-Age/"Younger-Dryas" event was/were holding forth. ~~ These Peoples, (Hunter-Gatherers) of the time would have to first (survive!). They had very needy families to protect. Huge hungry, fast and furious beasts also competed for food in this vast area known as Greater Mesopotamia. ~~ We have to ask if/how/when ordinary Beings of the time would have had the food/clothing--tools, time, or technology [TTT] to build such a monumental and detailed complex. [I am not trying to toss a wrench into the works. And I am well aware that my modest inquiry does indeed as it were *Beg-The-Question(!!!!), of course.] I welcome your concerns and opinions on the above matter.
@mushtaqbhat18952 жыл бұрын
Much of our knowledge at present will most probably be replaced in the years ahead as archaeological research progresses both geographically and technologically. There however are already evidences in this and adjacent regions of pre-pottery communal settlements with semi-domesticated plants or evidence of experimentation with wild plants and even animals relatively soon after the end of the younger Dryas. Famous example is the settlement in Jericho from still unknown populations proceeding the Halaf and Ubaid period in Mesopotamia. It is probably not that far fetched to imagine that the process might have begun a few centuries earlier, perhaps even stretching as far back as the Pleistocene right after the last glacial Maximum. In fact perhaps the LGM facilitated the formation of larger groups exceeding a single clan that in turn lead to larger settlements and communal building enterprises with all the secondary social implications that it would require and also generate almost 6 thousand years before the emergence of the city of Uruk. But that of course is merely a speculation on my part. But we can rest assured that we will know more in the years to come.

What impresses me about Gobekli is not so much the stone structures, impressive though they are, but the relief carving. It’s one thing to organise labour to extract large slabs of stone for construction but it is quite another to reduce the surface to produce sophisticated relief carvings of animals etc. The work of such carving did not suddenly come out of the blue but was entrusted to skilled and experienced artisans. This indicates that the society of that time was already sufficiently advanced that it valued the specialisation of skill sets.

Listening to your guest explain the “T Bar relief tells a story like little red riding hood” made me think Gobeckli Tepe is not a Temple … it’s a sports arena where people have their animals compete. The TBar relief guy is holding his prize fox that wins the contests. This is not surprising when you consider how many cultures use animals in sports (dog fights, bear fights, bird fights, dog races, horse races, and in Australia I saw a contest between cane toads racing). Even Scorpion versus insect fights can be found on KZbin. Chinese culture is big on studying animals and how they hunt and adapting into martial arts. I suspect Gobekli Tepe was a sports arena where some kind of contest between prized animals took place. Note, the relief image under the handbags looks like classic Turkish fencing woven from reeds … considering this is pre agricultural times, fences would be used for the enslavement of captured animals (stable food supply). Animals must have been woven into many parts of their culture, not just into their clothes & food. I can imagine village people sending their best contestants to the arena to vie against animals from other villages. Kind of like the ancient Olympic gatherings or the ancient Mayan sporting event gatherings only different. I bet the arena was also used for other events too.

I think alcohol was the trigger for agriculture. Hunter Gatherers were much healthier and lived longer than early farmers. You could simply go into the woods and food is everywhere. But to brew beer or create other drugs you need massive amounts of a single plant. Since gathering is a unreliable supply of this plant and the plant usually is found in small amounts, they started growing it themselves. But you can't just sow and leave, animals will eat it and ruin the patch. Also other tribes can steal it. So you need to guard it by watching over the field. Which means you are no longer (fully) migratory, you still can spend somewhere else between harvest and spring. But if you are stationary for a couple of months, you can only exploit the area for food for so long, so you need to grow food too. It's a much unhealthier diet than the hunter-gatherers, but atleast you have a steady supply of alcohol which likely was a very valuable (social, religious) resource. The brewing of beer was introduced by people from Anatolia in Europe. And more and more native European tribes started growing it themselves and giving up their hunter-gatherer lives. This way it was also possible to support bigger populations. Whereas tribes had to split before when they became too big, because there simply wasn't enough food. Even today we see the unfortunate effects and power of alcohol on (former) hunter-gatherer tribes and natives. This hypothesis is actually supported by recent finds, for example in the BBC article of "'World's oldest brewery' found in cave in Israel, say researchers" (I am not sure i am allowed to link, so look it up yourself.) "Researchers say they have found the world's oldest brewery, with residue of 13,000-year-old beer, in a prehistoric cave near Haifa in Israel. The discovery was made while they were studying a burial site for semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers. Brewing beer was thought to go back 5,000 years, but the latest discovery may turn beer history on its head. The findings also suggest beer was not necessarily a side product of making bread as previously thought. The researchers say they cannot tell which came first, and in October's issue of the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, they suggest the beer was brewed for ritual feasts to honour the dead."

I am not an expert in brewing beer, but I have read somewhere that making beer is actually easier than making bread. Also making beer could be really a feature of bigger groups. There is no reason to doubt that alcohol intoxication was known long before 10000 BC: from different kinds of fruit falling on the ground, or berries. It was only the sheer size of different tribes that demanded more alcohol, and there were not simply enough natural resources to compensate for the demand from wild fruit, honey, or berries. I am really looking forward to seeing some clear evidence that alcohol was a catalyst for domestication. If that was true, we should observe similar traits also in the other parts of the world where domestication took place: Mesoamerica, China.

This was a fascinating discussion. The roof entrances and such make me think of Hopi Kivas, which seem to have a parallel in the Persian myth of Yima. Both Hopi and the Yima myth have world age references along with divine inspiration for evolution. The Hopi say that the world ages depicted major advancements to human society, only to be corrupted and destroyed before starting anew. This current world age began when the people of the last world age left their underground shelters, which allowed them to survive the previous world age destruction. Yima was instructed to take the divine laws of Ahura Mazda (Spirit Major) to the people, but he refused, so he was instructed to fill the world with Life. He did so, and was instructed that his reign would end as he had succeeded. He used a dagger to stab the Earth to make her swell in order to fit more life on her surface. Twice he avoided his doom in this way, but the third time she didn't swell. He danced in wet clay, digging out an underground shelter which he filled with light so that Life could continue. Then, at the end of that cycle, he was killed and the people left the underground shelters to repopulate the globe...just like the Hopi who were supposed to find their chosen land and wait for a reunion with Pahana, Elder White Brother, who would either destroy them or take them to a higher greatness. We are supposedly in this trying time right now....

Dr. Clare said that deeper excavation revealed evidence for human habitation at Gobekle Tepe, a new finding, which seemed to imply that the site was thus used for habitation and not exclusively ritual, as was thought previously. But couldn't that earlier evidence for habitation simply be the remains of the inhabitants who built the site originally? Surely to build Gobleke Tepe required a sustained human presence of a large number of people for several years. Once built, they could have moved elsewhere and just let the site be used ritually (if that indeed was its intended purpose.)

As stated, there was seemingly constant repair and remodeling going on so that, to me, implies habitation. Also, I can't think of a situation (I'm not an expert in this field) where humans lived in a place and didn't keep living there until something like climate change or some event caused them to leave an area. If the area becomes arid or the wildlife becomes scarce or even a large earthquake occurs, people may leave.

It is likely that the Gobekli circles represent the zodiac. They have two large T-Taule megaliths surrounded by 12 standing stones, representing the constellations of the zodiac. And the H-symbol on the megaliths may represent Orion. You may not know that the zodiac remained a central component of religion in this region, even within Judaism and Christianity. Eight Jewish synagogues have been found with a large zodiac on the floor, including Hamat Teverya, Sepphoris and Huqoq. And there is a Christian zodiac at Bet She-an. The Jewish zodiacs display Helios at the center, while the Christian zodiac displays Jesus and Mary as the Sun and Moon. The zodiac was also central to Greco-Egypt, with the Dendera zodiac being a good example. And it was also central to Arthurian legend with the 12 knights of the round table being constellations of the round zodiac. It also claims that this round table was a copy of the Last Supper table, which was also a zodiac. The main problem being the 8,000 year lacuna between Gobekli and Judaea - a gap in our history that will be difficult to bridge. Likewise, the gap between the Gobekli T-Taules and the Minorcan T-Taules is another lacuna that needs explaining - why the similarity. Were some Gobekli zodiac-circles still visible, and able to be copied? Ralph

"The main problem being the 8,000 year lacuna between Gobekli and Judaea " - you've left off the relationship of the Judahite (elite) captives bringing Babylonian beliefs back with them from captivity, as well as the source of said neo-Babylonian mythologies and practices. Also, don't make too much of the reality that we humans live on a planet, a planet which revolves around it's star every 365 (and a quarter) days of the planet. One does not have to seek some mysterious (and lost) connection between cultures beyond that.

Almost Every pre-historic Society we know of has a Zodiacal link. but if you think about that, its impossible for any 1 Society to compile that much data. it takes thousands of years to see the entire Zodiac. the oldest civilization we know of only lasted 500-1500 years. so were assuming that Nomadic Hunter Gatherers kept a verbal record of the stars, and Passed that down through the Generations. its simply not Humanly possible. the Mayans for example have a calendar that spans Eons. the Vikings, Australian tribes do as well. India, China. even the tribes in North America did. that knowledge isn't passed by Hunter Gatherers. there is a missing Link we haven't found yet. something that will answer the question, of where did this Knowledge come from. Even in our Modern Society, 1 missed word changes the meaning of a story completely. and ours is Written down.

@AAH Replies based on archeological evidence, I tend to think there was an ancient civilization equal to modern day, or superior. Between 5-15 million years ago. And it was they that build the megalithic sites. To many random things popping up, and time travel isn't an option I'm willing to persue. If aliens did visit, why aren't they still here. I also have a hard time believing that hunter gathers tracked the stars enough to know by them that the summer and winter solstice would happen at exact times. That speaks to more enlightened civilization.

It is nice to hear mythology mentioned, yet I am baffled why more isn't said. The context should be put into perspective, this site is not very long after the sky cleared from the Younger Dryas Impacts Theory which abruptly changed the Pleistocene into the Holocene via space debris from the Taurid Stream and would still be conspicuous when crossing the pre-perihelion. From researching mythology Enclosure D screams of a commemoration monument of the dead whom were killed from the catastrophe. The narrative is very similar to one of the oldest stories known of the battle of chaos over order, Tiamat. There are two central monoliths one with a bovine on its chest representing the Sky Bull and the other stands domineeringly atop of seven dodos representing the Pleiades where the said stream seems to emanate from. The etymology of the word Pleiades means the constellation of Doves, seven avians. It is the Sun that triumphs over the dark chaos when the atmospheric loading clears at the beginning of a new age, thus the loincloth and the dragon (fire fox) in arm that is strikingly similar to the held lion of Gilgamesh. It is showing the beast in the inner solar system circling around every 3.3 years surrounded by the twelve constellations. The stone with the hole in it to the North is for the soles to go to the god stars that never die. Universally in mythology the cultures point directly to the Pleiades as the causation of destruction. I find it strange that many others do not see this.
