Göbekli Tepe, finally getting the recognition it deserves.11,600 year old temples(Fuck you history books)

good find... reminds me of the inca....

I think it was a river..if you check the lines at the base they seem to correspond to the fluctuations from erosion that would happen during full river capacity..and the lower one..corresponding to rainy season et non

now speculating here..probably placed on a river bank

who would place ONE statue on a river bank?

makes sense there were two..one on each bank?

A sort of gateway?

Who said the pyramides were built 7,000 earlier. If anything, I reckong the monuments of the gizah plateau are older.

and what about the Temple of Efud;)?

Well, maybe your are right, every hear about the rain forest / jungle flora unearthed in the Sahara?

Also mountain chains not formed in 1000s of years, instead formed in a period of hours if not minutes. I completely buy it. Sea shells and aquatic fossils found at incredible elevations, gee how does that happen? Would love to know.

And I thought I was the only person that watched that show!!! A lot of things about history that they present in that show really make you go "hmmmmmmm...."


Great thread FUBAR!

Funny thing is ive talked to christians who think the world is only 6,000 yrs old, one mormon girl I dated was talking about not believing in dinosaurs or some shit.

The Mormons entire Book of Mormon is like a comic book. There is nothing to verify any of it.

Im a Christian and Ive always thought the idea was insultingly ridiculous :)

Temple of Edfu, wow! Was a christian, don't know what I am anymore, obviously much is kept from us historically.

I am not a materialist, nor an atheist
I am not a devotee of physical reality
And I am not interested in staying safe

I am an agnostic mystic
A la Robert Anton Wilson
And Ramana Maharshi

I have no stake in tall tales being true
I have no stake in tall tales not being true

If there is an afterlife, fine
If there is reincarnation, fine
But there is no cause to believe in either
Because not only do we not know what awaits us
We cannot know what awaits us

In very much the same way
That the English astronomer Sir Arthur Eddington stated
"Not only is the Universe stranger than we imagine
It is stranger than we can imagine"

In fact most of existence
Is unknowable
And it is far better to rest in not knowing
Than to make up stories
Just so you can get to a heaven

Ok, just don't be like those ascetics that starved themselves in fields of rice or festered open wounds in the presence of physicians before Siddhartha showed them the errors of their ways...

lol +1.

I believe there is a lot more to the oceans than humans would believe.

Imagine if we spent as much on an ocean topography program as we do on our space program.

nahhh..
much worse, it'll end much worse for them this time round

Quite right
Silly ascetics (Siddhartha included)
Starved themselves
Until Sid discovered
The Middle Way

RE: Ocean Topography

Actually there is a whole bunch of stuff down there they don't want you to know about. But obviously you know this given your post. If I have time I'll find the links to some really fascinating stuff, you've probably seen them, but others should too. Got some work to do so give me some time.

I agree.

I wonder if the general area wasn't some sort of trade center and the round 'temples' are in actuality shops trading in something, perhaps stone tools, based on the quantity of flints found in the area.

Another question: why is it that it seems the older work is always superior to later building works in ancient history? This is true in Africa and South America. Veeeeery Interesting!

More proof people were MUCH larger back then... Pretty cool!

Because civilization got wiped out and had to start again, many times over.

See Earth Crustal Displacement (Fact not Theory)

Exactly WHAT is "leaking out"?

Great thread OP. I have never heard of Gobekli Tepe. Thanks for posting.

Bullshit! It's a stage set from Mel Gibson's Apocalypto!

I do believe in GOD.I do not believe in religion.I have felt the lord,Jesus or whatever you want to call him,her or it.I have felt the true love from god(it kicks ass).I DO NOT believe in the bible.I think its a bastardized version of organized religions attempt to control us and take our money.Its simply a business.I am happy when things like this come out to smack the bible in the ass.
I don't feel God is some egomaniac who wants us to bow at his feet and preach fire and brimstone.God is pure love.

Bullshit is a stage set from Mel Gibson's Apocalypto ????


anyways -- i wonder where Mr. Gibson learn of the Chalaf....Daniel Day Lewis perhaps ??
