00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,560
Hello and welcome to the 
program. 

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:03,720
You have a warning in this 
episode we're talking about 

3
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,640
Potbelly Hill. 
That's correct. 

4
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,280
Potbelly Hill. 
Of course, you might be more 

5
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,000
familiar with the the Turkish 
version of the name Gobekli 

6
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,680
Tepe. 
Now this is a strange one. 

7
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,920
This site goes clear back to pre
pottery Neolithic period and 

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,360
they think it was built between 
9508 thousand BC. 

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,320
It's considered to be the 
world's oldest known megalithic 

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,800
complex, predates Stonehenge by 
more than 6000 years. 

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,080
I think about that. 
Look at Stonehenge. 

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,000
This thing is 6000 years older 
now. 

13
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,640
The slabs that they used to 
build this structure were 

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,480
transported from bedrock pits 
that were located about 330 feet

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,360
from the hilltop, with workers 
using Flint points to cut 

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,320
through the limestone rock. 
That's the official story. 

17
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,880
The pillars are the oldest known
megaliths in the world. 

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,280
Now 2 taller pillars stand 
facing one another at the center

19
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,360
of each circle. 
Maybe you've seen some of the 

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,640
pictures. 
It's spectacular. 

21
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,160
Now we find out that the T 
shaped pillars discovered at 

22
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:14,600
Gobekli Tape are big. 
The central pair of enclosure D 

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,280
measure right around 20 feet 
tall and away about 8 to 10 

24
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,640
metric tongues, so 5 1/2 meters 
tall, 8 to 10 metric tons. 

25
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,920
Now a metric ton being about 
2200 lbs, that's over £22,000. 

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,400
Just these, the surrounding 
pillars are smaller but still 

27
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,480
reach around 4 meters, so you 
know, close to 13 feet. 

28
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:41,040
The largest of them lies on the 
northern plateau. 

29
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,440
It has a length of 23 feet and 
its head has a width of 10 feet.

30
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,760
Its weight they estimate at 
around 50 tons, 100,000 lbs. 

31
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:59,600
So just imagine we're to believe
that 9500 BC, you know 11,012 

32
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,040
thousand years ago these hunter 
gatherers with nothing more than

33
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,400
flintstones without the use of a
wheel drug. 

34
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:13,960
These 50,000 LB stones 330 feet.
Right now Gobekli Tepe is 

35
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,400
believed to be around 12,000 
years old, maybe 11. 

36
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,520
It dates back to pre pottery in 
the Eolithic times, which is 

37
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:28,160
9600 to 7000 BC, and it makes it
one of the oldest known temples 

38
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,040
in the world, maybe the oldest 
known now. 

39
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,000
It's located in southeastern 
Turkey near the city of 

40
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,920
Sambertha. 
It was discovered by Curtis 

41
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:42,960
Shepherd in 1963, but its 
significance wasn't realized 

42
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,440
until 1994 when German 
archaeologist Klaus Smith began 

43
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,480
excavations. 
So they found it and then they 

44
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,040
just let it lay there for 30 
years. 

45
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,000
The site features massive T 
shaped limestone pillars. 

46
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,400
Some of these are up to 20 feet 
tall and way up to 10 tons. 

47
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,640
Many of the pillars are 
decorated with intricate 

48
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:07,760
carvings of animals, abstract 
symbols and humanoid figures. 

49
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,200
That's what's weird. 
If you look at the image of 

50
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,720
these things, these humanoid 
figures, a lot of UFO 

51
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,320
researchers think maybe these 
things are depictions of some 

52
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,840
kind of aliens or perhaps fallen
angels. 

53
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,520
Unlike other ancient sites, 
there's no evidence of permanent

54
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,600
human habitation at Gobekli 
Tepe. 

55
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,800
This suggests it was a special 
purpose site rather than a 

56
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,120
residential area. 
Think about that talking about 

57
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,880
hunter gatherers type people. 
Maybe they had a few head of 

58
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,960
sheet back then I don't know. 
12,000 years ago they had Flint 

59
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:45,880
tools, no wheels but somehow 
they were able. 

60
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,640
They hadn't even invented 
pottery yet. 

61
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:53,120
Think about this, this is pre 
pottery, pre pottery, but 

62
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:59,280
somehow these ancient, really 
primitive people were able to 

63
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,080
drag these 100,000 LB stones and
then carve these strange 

64
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,080
carvings into them. 
I don't know, it's a lot to 

65
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:11,080
believe man. 
Now, the construction of Gobekli

66
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,880
Tepe predates the invention of 
pottery, metal tools, and the 

67
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,640
wheel, indicating advanced 
organizational and cooperative 

68
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,079
skills among the people who 
built it. 

69
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,280
That's, that's what Wikipedia 
will tell you. 

70
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,720
That's what the the 
archaeologist magazines will 

71
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,160
tell you. 
That's what Google will tell 

72
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,240
you. 
But just think about this. 

73
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:32,440
They, they, these people hadn't 
even discovered pottery yet. 

74
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,760
How to make clay, heat it up and
turn it into a basic pot did not

75
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,880
do that. 
No metal tools, hadn't figured 

76
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,520
out how to make a wheel, but yet
they've got the time and the 

77
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,040
inclination and the energy to 
build this giant temple site 

78
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,280
that they only use on the 
weekends maybe or a few times a 

79
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:54,640
year. 
You're asking me to really 

80
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,600
stretch here. 
I think if I'm, if I'm going to 

81
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,000
accept the mainline view on 
this, I have to really, it's 

82
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,360
almost, it's almost into 
conspiracy theory territory to 

83
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,640
think these people could do 
that. 

84
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:13,000
The site was intentionally 
buried around 8000 BCE, so about

85
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,880
11,000 years ago, for reasons 
that are still debated by 

86
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,840
archaeologists. 
So after they went to all the 

87
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:23,920
trouble of building this thing, 
using it temporarily and this 

88
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,400
imagine how much work this would
take for people that were living

89
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,960
1112 thousand years ago without 
the use of tools, with just 

90
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,960
using Flint tools to mine these 
rocks supposedly. 

91
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:40,320
And then and then just using 
Flint tools, a few of you and 

92
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,880
your friends drag out this 
100,000 LB pillar, you know, 

93
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,960
down the side of 1 hill, up the 
side of another maybe. 

94
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,800
And doing this over and over and
over again, only two, maybe a 

95
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,480
dozen generations later, bury 
the whole thing. 

96
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,600
None of it makes any sense to 
me, but it's, it's fantastic to 

97
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,400
look at. 
And when you just think about, 

98
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,520
when you think about the scope 
of this project, the size of it,

99
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:12,640
wow, something else. 
If we go here to medium.com, 

100
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,720
there's a good article I found 
written by Stephen Guest dated 

101
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,320
August 5th, 2023. 
It says Gobekli Tepe, an ancient

102
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,160
anomaly in Turkey. 
It says an anomaly is an is an 

103
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,960
irregular occurrence, a 
deviation from the rule or 

104
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,080
something unexplainable or 
abnormal. 

105
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,840
And our and our world, our 
history books and our scientific

106
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:39,840
discoveries are full of 
anomalies, many related to 

107
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:43,200
prehistory citizens. 
No satisfying answer to these 

108
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:46,680
enigmas have been provided by 
mainstream science, but such 

109
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,120
anomalies strongly indicate 
ancient technological 

110
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,960
achievement by an advanced 
intelligence. 

111
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,680
It is something that we cannot 
dismiss and must pursue. 

112
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,800
Given the age of the Earth and 
the billions of years of 

113
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,000
geologic and climactic 
recycling, the likelihood of 

114
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,840
prehistory civilizations is 
considered quite feasible. 

115
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,800
But getting mainstream science 
and religion dogma and religious

116
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,920
dogma to accept such a reality 
is difficult because it would 

117
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,480
turn all traditional belief 
structures upside down. 

118
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,200
This article is part of my 
series of articles regarding 

119
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,880
ancient anomalies. 
It says to access all my 

120
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,520
articles and it clicks on here 
because on it says. 

121
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,760
Gobekli Tepe is an 
archaeological site located 6 

122
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,520
miles from Irfa, an ancient city
in southeastern Turkey said to 

123
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,520
predate Stone Hedge by 6000 
years. 

124
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,640
Gobekli Tepe is to upend the 
conventional view of the rise of

125
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,080
civilization. 
The site consists of an 

126
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,360
artificial earthen mound. 
The gently rounded top of the 

127
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,640
artificial mound rises 50 feet 
above the surrounding landscape.

128
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,080
The mound is about 1000 feet in 
diameter and approximately 2500 

129
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,680
feet above sea level. 
The site discover and excavator 

130
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,320
Klaus Schmidt says that Gobekli 
Tepe was constructed in two 

131
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,000
phases of social and ritual 
nature. 

132
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,200
During the first phase, 
belonging to the pre pottery, 

133
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,080
Neolithic circles of massive T 
shaped stone pillars were 

134
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,440
erected. 
According to mainstream science,

135
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,600
these structures have been dated
to about 10,000 BC, making them 

136
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,840
the world's oldest known 
megaliths. 

137
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,720
That means these structures not 
only predate pottery, metallurgy

138
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,240
and the invention of writing and
the wheel, but were built before

139
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,159
the Neolithic revolution, a 
point that marks the beginning 

140
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:36,280
of agriculture and animal 
husbandry around 9000 BC. 

141
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,679
So think about it. 
These guys built these things. 

142
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,520
They weren't raising sheep yet. 
They didn't have animals, they 

143
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,560
didn't have cows and goats and 
pigs. 

144
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:48,120
It was just them. 
And how big could the population

145
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,280
have been 12,000 years ago? 
How many people could have been 

146
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,760
involved in this construction 
project? 

147
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,160
Hewing out these giant 20 foot 
long blocks of limestone 

148
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,640
weighing maybe 100,000 lbs, at 
least 20 on average 20,000 lbs. 

149
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,200
Hewing them out of the bedrock, 
dragging them up this 50 foot 

150
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,720
hill. 
It, it just buggers the mind to 

151
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,080
think of people being able to do
that. 

152
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,760
And the second phase belonging 
to the pre pottery Neolithic. 

153
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,320
The pillars you erected at this 
site were smaller and stood in 

154
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,960
rectangular rooms, rooms with 
floors of polished lime. 

155
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:29,560
Now imagine we're to believe 
that the bigger maybe 100,000 LB

156
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:34,000
stones, they were quarried by 
the by the 12,000 year old 

157
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:37,880
society. 
Now 1000 years later, they did 

158
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,040
some more additions, but they 
were they were dragging out 

159
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,560
smaller pillars, maybe 2040 
thousand pounders come on. 

160
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,680
And the second phase belonging 
to the pre pottery and Eolithic 

161
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,920
B, the pillars you directed at 
this site were smaller and stood

162
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,240
in rectangular rooms within 
floors of polished line. 

163
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,400
So they're able to put up these 
polished line floors and stack 

164
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,480
these giant mega stones on top 
of them. 

165
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:06,200
Think they can do all that? 
But they hadn't figured out how 

166
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,080
to make pottery or make a wheel.
Once the ring of stone pillars 

167
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,600
were finished, the ancient 
builders covered them up with 

168
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,960
dirt. 
Eventually, they placed another 

169
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,360
ring nearby or on top of the old
one. 

170
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,800
Over centuries, these layers 
created the artificial mound 

171
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,920
that looks like a hilltop today.
Mainstream science says the 

172
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,760
Gobekli Tepe was abandoned after
the pre pottery Neolithic period

173
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,640
and younger structures were then
constructed in the area that 

174
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,160
date to classical times through 
geophysical surveys. 

175
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,320
As of May 2020, more than 200 
pillars in about 20 circles are 

176
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,440
known to be located within this 
mound. 

177
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,120
The pillars were cut and crafted
at a nearby quarry, then moved 

178
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,520
and fitted into sockets human 
out of the local bedrock. 

179
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,440
Each monolithic T shaped stone 
pillar in the first phase had a 

180
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,040
height of up to 20 feet and 
weighed up to 20 metric tons. 

181
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:06,240
That's about 44 or 45,000 lbs. 
One pillar found still in its 

182
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,520
quarry weighed 50 tons. 100,000 
lbs. 

183
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,000
What? 
Maybe 100 hundred and 510? 

184
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,320
Here is how Klaus Schmidt 
imagined the pillars were 

185
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,800
constructed and placed by 
primitive people. 

186
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,440
He saw Gobekli Tepe's sloping 
rocky ground as a stonecutter's 

187
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,000
dream. 
Even without metal chisels or 

188
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,800
hammers, Smith believed the 
prehistoric Masons, wielding 

189
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,880
only Flint tools, chipped away 
at the softer limestone 

190
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,760
outcrops. 
According to Smith, the workers 

191
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,240
cut, ground and polished the 
stones into enormous T shaped 

192
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,120
pillars before moving the 
megaton stones from the quarry 

193
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:51,080
without wheel transport uphill 
several 100 feet to the site and

194
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,920
then somehow erecting them 
upright into position. 

195
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:56,600
Well, I would love to see them 
repeat that. 

196
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,840
Mainstream archaeologists 
estimate up to 500 people were 

197
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,920
required to extract the heavy 
pillars from the local horreys, 

198
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:08,560
haul them uphill a distance of 
about 1640 feet, and then erect 

199
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:11,520
them at the site. 
Now, I would put a challenge out

200
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,480
to these guys, these 
archaeologists, professors, they

201
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,920
obviously work at large 
universities. 

202
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,640
There's lots of young people 
there. 

203
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,400
I mean, would it be impossible 
to attract 500 volunteers to 

204
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,400
demonstrate this? 
I would like to see that. 

205
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:31,360
I would like to see these 
professors acquire 500 of their 

206
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:36,640
best, strongest athletic 
students come down to the site 

207
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:43,560
there and see if they can mine 
and haul a 100,000 LB stone or 

208
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:46,240
even a 45,000 LB stone. 500 of 
them. 

209
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,640
I'd be very, very curious to see
that it says the construction of

210
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,520
Gobekli Tepe implies the 
organization of an advanced 

211
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,040
order not previously associated 
with the Paleolithic societies. 

212
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:02,000
However, the purpose and or 
function of Gobekli Tepe remains

213
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,680
a mystery. 
The excavations at the site have

214
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:08,600
been ongoing since 1996 by the 
German Archaeological Institute,

215
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,320
but less than 5% of the site has
been excavated, and Smith plans 

216
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,000
to leave much of it untouched to
be explored by future 

217
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,000
generations, when archaeological
techniques will have presumably 

218
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,480
improved. 
Still, with a surprising lack of

219
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,280
evidence, some of today's 
archaeologists have their 

220
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,280
theories. 
For example, the lack of 

221
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,520
evidence that people lived in 
the immediate area argues 

222
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,480
against it being used as a 
settlement. 

223
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,200
To date, no traces of 
domesticated plants or animals 

224
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,160
have been found. 
The inhabitants are presumed to 

225
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,760
have been hunters and gatherers 
who lived in villages elsewhere 

226
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,800
for at least part of the year. 
So you're talking about a group 

227
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,200
of people that didn't, they 
weren't farmers, they were a 

228
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,320
hunter gatherers. 
You, you think they'd have to 

229
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,720
have been kept pretty busy just 
feeding themselves all day. 

230
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,360
But they weren't really in any 
kind of advanced society. 

231
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,640
No pottery, no wheels, no metal.
But somehow they, they just took

232
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,600
it upon themselves to spend all 
this time coring out these huge 

233
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,840
stones and dragging them down 
here to this, this hill to be 

234
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,320
and be used once a year. 
It seems implausible to me. 

235
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:17,400
Some archaeologists hypothesized
that the elevated location may 

236
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,760
have functioned as a spiritual 
center around 10,000 BC or 

237
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,520
earlier, essentially at the end 
of the Pleistocene. 

238
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,840
Smith's view is that Goli Tepe 
was a Stone Age mountain 

239
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,200
sanctuary, and if so, it's the 
oldest known temple yet 

240
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,320
discovered anywhere. 
Schmidt believed his this 

241
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,520
cathedral on a hill was a 
pilgrimage destination, 

242
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,160
attracting worshippers from up 
to 90 years away. 

243
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,200
What I see there is somebody 
just kind of templating their 

244
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,920
experience in history, their 
idea of cathedrals and, and, and

245
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,080
just projecting that onto 
somebody that lived 12,000 years

246
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,760
ago. 
I could see us get in trouble 

247
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,800
doing that. 
I don't. 

248
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,960
I don't see how you can make the
assumption that it was a 

249
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:01,680
cathedral. 
They didn't have cathedrals 

250
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,200
then. 
Some regard Gobekli Tepe as an 

251
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,520
archaeological discovery of 
great importance, since it could

252
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,680
profoundly change mainstream 
science supposed to 

253
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,400
understanding of a crucial stage
and the development of human 

254
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,600
society. 
Mainstream society has long 

255
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,880
believed that only after people 
learned to farm, which allowed 

256
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,840
for a sedentary lifestyle in 
civil communities, did people 

257
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,040
have the time, organization, 
resources, and inclination to 

258
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,640
construct temples and support 
complicated social structures. 

259
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,040
But Smith argued it was the 
other way around. 

260
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,240
Gobekli Tepe suggests a new 
theory of civilization. 

261
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,440
The extensive, coordinated 
effort to erect monoliths laid 

262
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,360
the groundwork for the 
development of complex 

263
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,880
societies. 
If hunter gatherers built the 

264
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,760
site, then in the narrow view of
Smith and mainstream science, it

265
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,120
could only mean that the ability
to wreck, to erect megalithic 

266
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,000
complexes was within the 
capabilities of these sorts of 

267
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,880
early human groups. 
Smith believed that the 

268
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,720
wandering hunter gatherers could
not have built the megaliths. 

269
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,040
To carve erect and buried rings 
of seven the tunstone pillars 

270
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,280
would have required hundreds of 
workers, all needing to be fed 

271
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,520
and housed. 
Hence the eventual emergence of 

272
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,080
the settled communities around 
10,000 years ago. 

273
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,800
Smith says this showed societal 
changes come first, then 

274
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,160
agriculture. 
Well this is kind of like what 

275
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,520
the theory of evolution. 
The whale grew legs because it 

276
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,360
needed to breathe. 
Well wouldn't it have already 

277
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,840
died from lack of oxygen if it 
had to be stuck in the water 

278
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,880
with no legs? 
This notion that things adapt, 

279
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,320
by the time they got around to 
adapting, they would have 

280
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,040
already been extinct by the time
that these people who got around

281
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,520
to adapting. 
So say they all get together and

282
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,440
decide they're going to build 
this giant temple complex at 

283
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,920
Potbelly Hill. 
And they all quit hunting and 

284
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,120
fishing and gathering and they 
just get busy chiseling stones. 

285
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,360
And then suddenly one morning 
they'd wake up and say, Oh my 

286
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,320
goodness, we need to, we need to
domesticate some animals here. 

287
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,360
We need to get civilized. 
We need to invent pottery in the

288
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,960
wheel and discover copper and 
iron because if we don't, we're 

289
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,680
going to starve to death because
we spent all day chiseling these

290
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,760
these dumb rocks out instead of 
hunting. 

291
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,920
I mean, that's kind of his his 
idea here. 

292
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,480
The chicken. 
The chicken before the egg, 

293
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,560
maybe kind of like with this 
notion of evolution. 

294
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,480
Well, things adapt. 
Yeah. 

295
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,400
But by the time they adapt, it's
too late. 

296
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,359
By the time these guys had 
changed their society into an 

297
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,640
advanced society, raising 
animals and creating pottery in 

298
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,960
the wheel, it would have been 
too late. 

299
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,120
In the time it took them to 
quarry the first stone, they 

300
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:38,080
would have starved the death. 
Because as a hunter gatherer, 

301
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,720
you need to do that all the 
time, pretty much every day. 

302
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,680
I think that's what it looks 
like. 

303
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,280
I'm. 
I'm looking at the Native 

304
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,640
Americans of South America. 
Yeah, they got some downtime, 

305
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,600
but it's just one day to the 
next. 

306
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,280
You can't just grow your food, 
have your cattle, your sheep and

307
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,640
your pigs out there running 
around and go and take one as 

308
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,920
you need it. 
It's a day-to-day, hand to mouth

309
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,200
existence. 
Just like if you tell me. 

310
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:04,880
Well, the creature grew legs so 
that it could walk on land. 

311
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,360
By the time the legs were grown,
it would have drowned. 

312
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,720
Think about it. 
Same with this. 

313
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,640
It goes on and says, but just as
with another ancient anomaly 

314
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,360
known as the Nan Medal and South
in the South Pacific, part of 

315
00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:19,960
solving the mystery of Gobekli 
Tepe would require that Smith 

316
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,400
and mainstream science explain 
why and how a labor force large 

317
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,040
enough to construct, augment, 
and maintain such a substantial 

318
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:33,440
project was organized, 
mobilized, compensated, and fed 

319
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,400
in the 1st place, especially 
considering the living 

320
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,240
conditions and survival needs of
primitive hunter gatherers in 

321
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,040
prehistory. 
As with other ancient megalithic

322
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,200
structures worldwide, 
alternative plausible theories 

323
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,160
suggest the stones would have 
been cut, shaped, and moved with

324
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,160
the with advanced technology, 
including energy levitating 

325
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,640
sources provided by intelligent 
extraterrestrials, or some 

326
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,560
prehistory advanced human 
civilization situated elsewhere 

327
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,960
in the world. 
Mainstream archaeologists 

328
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,480
debunked such alternative 
theories. 

329
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,880
They prefer to stick with their 
story of how all the stones were

330
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,920
cut, transported, and positioned
entirely by primitive people who

331
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,960
were somehow convinced to take 
time off from surviving in order

332
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,080
to participate in an organized 
effort to complete a formidable 

333
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,920
undertaking for an unknown cause
while probably sacrificing much 

334
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,040
and their personal lives. 
Some of the pillars in Gobekli 

335
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,640
Temple are blank, but other 
pillars have elaborate carvings 

336
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,920
of animals, and these pillars 
and these pillar carvings ignore

337
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,040
the haunted game on which the 
primitive people depended, such 

338
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,440
as deer. 
Instead, the carvings depict 

339
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,280
formidable and unusual creatures
such as lions, vultures, snakes,

340
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,920
spiders and scorpions. 
Mainstream scholars have been 

341
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,760
unable to interpret the 
pictograms found at Goli Tepe 

342
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,440
and do not know what meaning the
carved reliefs of animals had, 

343
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,320
especially since the temples 
were completely buried sometime 

344
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,040
after they were constructed. 
The variety of fauna depicted, 

345
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,800
from lions and boars to birds 
and insects, makes any single 

346
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,920
explanation for these carvings 
difficult. 

347
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,120
And interestingly, the 
pictograms did not indicate any 

348
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:19,720
organized hunting strategies, No
depiction of hunting raids or 

349
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,400
wounded prey. 
Smit considered the Gobekli Tepe

350
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,040
may have been a central location
for a cult of the dead and that 

351
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,720
the carved animals were there to
protect the dead. 

352
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,360
Though no tombs or graves have 
yet been found, Smit believes 

353
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:36,600
that the graves remain to be 
discovered and niches located 

354
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,320
along the walls of the sacred 
circles. 

355
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,360
But ultimately, Schmidt has 
acknowledged there were no 

356
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,560
sources to explain what the 
symbolic pictograms meant. 

357
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,560
We're 6000 years before the 
invention of writing here, he 

358
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,600
said. 
As mentioned, Gobekli Tepe was 

359
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,200
not simply abandoned and 
forgotten to be gradually 

360
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,040
consumed by the natural elements
or destroyed by looting. 

361
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,000
Instead, the existing pillars 
were buried every few decades to

362
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,880
be replaced by new stones as 
part of a smaller concentric 

363
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,040
ring inside the older one. 
These concentric rings were 

364
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:16,320
deliberately buried under as 
much as 390 to 650 cubic yards 

365
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,920
of backfill material. 
Why the complex was carefully 

366
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,440
backfilled remains unexplained. 
Based on current evidence, it is

367
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,840
difficult for mainstream science
to deduce anything certain about

368
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,160
the originating culture of the 
site's significance. 

369
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,960
What was so important to these 
early people that they gathered 

370
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,200
to build and bury the stone 
rings? 

371
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,720
As it turns out, backfilling the
site preserved it for posterity.

372
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,200
What a fascinating article. 
You just have to wonder, what in

373
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,560
the world would these guys 
doing? 

374
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,320
I mean, if you take, if you take
the story that science tells us,

375
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,560
OK, you've got a bunch of these 
random hunter gatherers. 

376
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,120
Now they say it would take at 
least 500. 

377
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,720
If it took 500 workers, that 
means you'd have to have 

378
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,920
probably with, with wives and 
kids and everything. 

379
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,800
We're talking about a group of 
maybe, I don't know, two or 

380
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,880
three thousand people. 
How how many, how many people 

381
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,560
could the land support? 
So you take these people away 

382
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,880
from their daily existence and 
their daily existence is looking

383
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,680
for food. 
That's what they're spending 

384
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,080
most of their time. 
Dude, I mean, you compare this 

385
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,080
to some of the primitive people 
that are still existing in the 

386
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,840
Kalahari deserts, say, or maybe 
in Central Africa where they're 

387
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,640
still doing the hunting, the 
hunter gathering thing, or in 

388
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,360
the deep rainforest. 
Do you think these people have 

389
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:37,520
time to go out and quarry giant 
40 to 100,000 LB rocks, build a 

390
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,960
temple and then bury that temple
and build another and then build

391
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,320
another one in 20 or 30 years? 
Does that make sense to you? 

392
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,760
It makes no sense to me 
whatsoever. 

393
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,000
I think I like this story 
because you see this really in 

394
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,240
your face architecture, these 
giant stone pillars and we've 

395
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:55,800
carbon dated them so we know how
old they are. 

396
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:57,800
And so now how do you explain 
it? 

397
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,520
How do you explain primitive man
did that? 

398
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,400
How do you explain somebody 
without pottery or the wheel 

399
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,080
could do that, but doesn't 
matter to the mainline, mainline

400
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,560
science because they're just 
going to say, well, they did it 

401
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,920
the same way they tell you that 
the fish crawled up onto the 

402
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,400
shore, sprouted a pair of legs 
and began to grow air. 

403
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,240
And you say, how's that 
possible? 

404
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,040
Well, it took billions of years.
Yeah, but wouldn't they have 

405
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,440
suffocated by then? 
Defies common sense. 

406
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,840
They make up a story and they 
stick with it. 

407
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,160
Can't just say, well I don't 
know. 

408
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,320
Just like with the situation 
here, how did those very 

409
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,280
primitive people without the 
knowledge of pottery or the 

410
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,520
wheel or any kind of animal 
husbandry, how do these people 

411
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,720
who would have had to spend most
of their day looking for food, 

412
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,000
how do they have time or the 
inclination or the means to 

413
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:50,000
quarry stones that weigh between
40,000 and 110,000 lbs, drag 

414
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:55,400
these things 300 feet and better
and then erect these giant 

415
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,720
monuments? 
How could they do that? 

416
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,200
And if it's so easy, if that 
theory is so plausible that you 

417
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,640
say it took 500 people and 
you're a college professor and 

418
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,240
you have 30,000 kids going to 
your college. 

419
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,320
Wouldn't it be possible for you 
to get 500 of those kids to 

420
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,120
volunteer for extra credit some 
weekend to see if they could 

421
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:17,000
even pull one of those stones to
see if they could do 1% of what 

422
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,120
you're claiming these ancient 
people did see They could never 

423
00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:22,440
replicate what they're claiming 
happened. 

424
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,360
If a fish could sprout legs and 
lungs in order to breathe air, 

425
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,240
then go catch a fish, put them 
on the ground, see what happens.

426
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,560
As simple as that. 
We're just told to believe what 

427
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,080
they tell us believe. 
Believe the narrative. 

428
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,560
I don't believe it, and I don't 
believe this story, not for one 

429
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,920
second. 
I don't know how those giant 

430
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,320
pillars got there. 
I'm not sure who moved them or 

431
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:50,080
when, but I really don't think 
that it was a couple 100 or 500 

432
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,600
hundred gatherers who just 
randomly decided at the spur of 

433
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,120
a moment that they needed to 
build a giant temple complex 

434
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,480
with 100,000 LB monumental 
stones every 30 years. 

435
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,720
Until next time, this is UFO 
warning over and out.
