I like how the discovery of this site upended what was accepted about ancient history.

[@dannyhernandez1212]

Unfortunately there is a lot of misinformation being put out about it.

[@LSD-420]

@@dannyhernandez1212 Examples? Thanks.

[@dannyhernandez1212]

@LSD-420 you have entire cities and highways with towns built by ancient MesoAmericans thousands of years before even seeing a European.

Humanity has been around for 300k+ years and we think we can explain it all in 50.

One major issue with these videos. They are never long enough! I love your take on everything ancient. Never stop following your path ✌️😎

Good to see you had Special Agent Denozo on the case, lol, Love your work.

[@westofnowhere7997]

It's a fascinating site, thanks for the video! Also, did anyone else catch the Michael Weatherly cameo around 4:36?

[@brianjanice5938]

I caught it. I was wondering if anyone else did.

Yup !

Was that the actor Michael Weatherly, formally of TV show NCIS?

[@barmag8802]

I thought the same thing, was that him?

[@schnoodles4734]

thought the same 🙃

Same!

[@allenbatts7971]

What's the time stamp? I didn't see anyone that looked like Micheal Weatherly

[@michaelbranham5854]

Yep that was him no doubt. Same reason im here

[@macduff14]

My Buddy's father from Edinburgh was one of the first Archaeologists to work on the site . His first and last book written at 83 years old is coming out soon . "BEING NEOLITHIC" . ENJOY in JOY

[@GNS_Waffles]

whats his name/author name?

[@starrs9948]

Wow! Interesting!! Is it perhaps "Becoming Neolithic: The Pivot of Human History" ? Release expected December 5th 2023? Couldn't find anything on 'being neolithic'. And after looking around more it seems to match your comment. 😀 thank you for mentioning, hope this helps to the other commenter. (Gns_waffles)

I cannot help feeling that you have a lot more to say about all of these wondrous things that you make videos about, especially this one. When will we see your first book? Your videos are a breath of fresh air. Thank you. Ted

[@TheFuzzyPetiole]

Oh wow! Must have been so exciting when you noticed that gate post pillar! The first time I saw pictures of Gobleki Tepe the way the enclosures or “rooms” kind of honeycombed off each other reminded me of a school. What a fascinating site!

[@talcoprentice7292]

Love gobleci tepe , prooves that humanity is built on a foundation of lies Time to change our historical view of planet earth and the part we have to play while we visit ❤

[@davidj8065]

Great to have a new vid Jahanna - you have a gift for this, as well as acting

[@cloudie_s]

so we are not mentioning that there was MICHAEL WEATHERLY from NCIS with you on this tour?? :D OMG! He is interested in this topic, I love that so much! also..great video as usual JJ!! I really need to visit this place too. ❤

[@fangofsilver5537]

Thx. I knew I recognised him from somewhere!:p

You are just the sweetest little thing. Absolutely can't get enough of your adventures. 👁️👍

[@chriskenny9532]

Things keep getting older. I’m sure at some point some new discovery will emerge that’ll have historians scrabbling to explain, which is entertaining in itself. Modern humans have been around for a long time and we tend to get busy left to our own devises.

[@PeteTAus]

Wow ... the now formally proclaimed "Johanna Pillar" of Gobekli Tepe. Well done mate!!! 😂🎉

[@richardksimpson800]

Excellent Video Jahannah. Keep asking questions. My gut has been telling me for decades that there is an active agenda to keep us from discovering our true origins and stopping us from putting the puzzle pieces of our distant past together.

[@BullyDrops]

😂

[@tyhandin]

Shoutout Special Agent DiNozzo making the most random appearance of all time 💀😂

I was there just a month ago :) Visted both Gobekli and Karahan Tepe which is just 1 hour drive from Gobekli tepe...

[@jasonmaynard2402]

KZbin recommended this video to me after I watched, "Göbekli Tepe and the Prophecy of Pillar 43" from The Why Files. This place just gets more and more fascinating.

[@DillDough-dn4eb]

Hell yes! So excited Johanna

[@PropertyMasterNY]

There’s likely thousands of T Pillars incorporated into structures, walls, even foundation and fill throughout the region.

[@joshsmith3650]

I’m confident that Gobekli Tempe was a 7-11 that people went to for food and constantly complained about stale hotdog buns and burnt coffee.

[@7ShadowMaiden7]

Fascinating theory! They also took subpar bowel movements in questionable bathroom situations s/

[@greatscott369]

That's exactly what happens in an advanced civilisation

[@Siapanpeteellis]

Have you ever heard of the Latte Stones of the Mariana Islands? They were made with scoop divots and groves on the top to help keep the bamboo poles in place that were used as roof scaffolding and milling machine support, see link below. They remind me very much of the Gobekli Tepe T pillars. The Latte stones are only supposed to be 1000 years old, but the archeologist I spoke with said they were much older, maybe 5000 years. The latte Stones and the rai stones, stone money, of yap formed a machine for milling out canoes, proa, from huge palm trunks. The milling bits, coral stones, could also be used as sling stones because they became smooth after being used as milling bits. The machine looked like an upside-down potter's wheel with the milling bit stuck in a bamboo pole at the bottom that rotated with the turn of the stone wheel. The Rai stone was the fly wheel. The archeologist who told me all this also told me that the original inhabitants of the Marianas islands and Yap were part of the same culture 4000 years ago. I can't find a picture of the milling machine assembled on top of the Latte stones, but I could draw a crude approximation. By the way, the milling machine theory is the only one that fits all the facts of how large canoes that could carry 40 people were made. Every other method falls short of explaining how they could do that. www.amusingplanet.com/2015/12/the-latte-stones-of-mariana-islands.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_stones www.guampedia.com/slingstones/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proa

[@Tango4N]

I lived on Saipan mid '80's and remember those. I didn't think much of them at the time but now that I recall they are quite something. I remember too the Jap stones they called "money". Never did get to Jap though.

[@bob_btw6751]

We have to guess at so much about what this and other sites mean. Bit by bit the pieces of our long lost forgotten history are surfacing, thanks to wonderfl people like you Jahannah. You follow your own path of discovery, but so many of us follow as you lead our way. It means so much that you do.

[@King_Flippy_Nips]

Just remember that 95% of gobekli tepe is still buried and then theres karahan tepe which is twice as large as gobekli tepe and older, also they have found 10 more buried sites in the area as well which means that there might be more than 500x more stuff buried than the currently excavated part of gobekli tepe.

[@crispybacon5378]

It's clear as day that looking from above these sites (Gobekli, Karahan etc) are the foundations for some sort of mega structure.

[@matthewjohnson1891]

Considering that they buried it to preserve it it may have been a library

SCOOP THEORY: The Top Scoops, on the T-Pillars, seem to be a rough way of interlocking a Ceiling structure. Possibly, a ceiling was carved in an opposie relief or even a "Self Forming" mudbrick, to create a more stable, non-skid, roof

There is so much in those hills around Sanliurfa in Turkey as I'm sure you know everywhere you look someone years ago has done some stone work it is a very early part of the civilized population of our planet Armenia , Syria , Lebanon , Jordan , Iraq all have similar things and how long ago we really don't know but much older than we thought . I did have the pleasure of going to Lebanon Baalbek of course after seeing Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe and did some hikes to ruins that are really unknown but similar craftsman ship out of limestone ans hard Basalt such an amazing part of our history on this earth . Love your work Jahannah this is very addicting and you have been to some awesome places I'v done a few and there is nothing like being there in person 🙂🤙

[@imolony]

Brilliant Miss J! One observation: the 'pits' on the tops of some of the megaliths, regardless if the site was buried intentionally or through natural erosion, points to the possibility of water erosion of the stone over 10K years or more as the very tops of many of the megaliths were quite close to the surface. This type of erosion can be caused by wind, water, or even water-ice. Imagine rolling a confined pebble round and round on a flat stone for thousands of years. I know it's not the sexiest theory, however it is the most plausible. Stellar work you Rebel! ✌️❤️🚀🤠

[@imolony]

Oh, one more observation. After more than 30 years in Commercial Architecture and Construction, one of the first things I do as a Lead Designer, is to note the solar orientaion in order to site the building or facility. As with any Megalithic site, (or scientific observation) the truth lies within the details. Certainly you've heard of the 'Black Taj Mahal'? Stay with me...I'm making a very valid point about possible 'reflecting pools' intentionally designed within Göbekli Tepe and other sites around the world. It is much easier for humans to look down to document (in stone, bone, clay, animal skins, or papyrus) when looking at a mirror image reflection of the heavens above. Simply by looking down, and not up. Makes sense, right? Hence the hydraulic-concretions created at the sub-tetranian placement of the Megaliths. Being below the ground is a natural wind block and on a still night would have been as a mirror. Back to the Taj Mahal... I recall a documentary that proposed the Black Taj Mahal was built simply by creating a reflecting pool across the river to catch the Moon light. 😉 We stand on the shoulders of giants! After all...science is observation. 😉 ✌️❤️🚀🤠

[@JamesBond-fq6fm]

[@dantyler6907]

Repetitive loading of a roof might explain the cup/dish shapes on top of the pillars. As simple wind pushes down on the roof, this leads to loading pressure.

[@raysstlyn6346]

Congrats for your shared discovery 🎉

[@mtv2256]

[@mikeramsay5964]

"Ted Talk arena "😂 I love the wishing tree.

[@bonks4395]

All across the middle east there are buried T-pillar type structures that often are found to have been purposefully filled in with sand. I think when the Nephilim, dinosaurs, and large carnivorous animals would have been unable to dig up and penetrate the fortified structures. The T creates an anti-uplift device much like how beavers build their dams to make it nearly impossible for bears and wolves to penetrate. If the structures were going to be vacant and to prevent pests from taking over, I believe the strongholds were filled in to prevent snakes, spiders, and pests from inhabiting them. The T shaped pillar is an excellent multi purpose device to hold up a roof, prevent the roof from being lifted up either from high winds, earthquakes, or attack from predators. I also think that many of the structures were also built to align with the star calendar and likely had small windows or skylights that aligned with the north star, moon, and sun solstices.

[@letsgetpositive2985]

Even though you were not the first, it’s great that you have the ability and eye to see ancient works and recognize them! Good job lady!👏👏

[@dragasan]

I visited Göbekli Tepe back in 2011. It was before the protective was installed. It was amazing, but there's been so much more discovered since then. I live in Türkiye now, so I'll definitely need to plan another visit. Thanks for all your intriguing work.

[@Jordan_Starr]

The scoops on top of the pillars remind me of what we do with clay when when we need it to stick to something - we create texture. If they were placing something on top with a clay or mud like substance then the scoops would help it stay in place hmm 🤔 Also it was really nice to hear a woman speak about this site. Ive seen so many takes from men who are always so quick to claim everything is phallic and therefore must be about fertility. It was nice to hear some other views :)

[@The1Elcil]

You mean attributing phallus to other things except the actual art of males holding a penis ? Is it odd that you are the only one to bring up the phallus in this chat ? ;-)) Scoop marks are found in quarries as a side effect of the "cutting " process. They are usually removed from the finished product. Maybe being at the top the builders didn't care because they were not visible to the crowd ... but your texture trick is a fascinating idea. Well done.

[@seantice]

by far your best work at studious documentation.

[@marenpurves4493]

Great find on the gate pillar! I just watched something where there were similar scoops on top of pillars in and also earthquake prone area and it was said that it likely was to allow the roof to move in earthquakes by putting round stones into them - like they put under posts these days so that buildings can move during earthquakes rather than falling over or collapsing.
