Hello and welcome to the program.
You have a warning in this episode we're talking about
Potbelly Hill. That's correct.
Potbelly Hill. Of course, you might be more
familiar with the the Turkish version of the name Gobekli
Tepe. Now this is a strange one.
This site goes clear back to pre pottery Neolithic period and
they think it was built between 9508 thousand BC.
It's considered to be the world's oldest known megalithic
complex, predates Stonehenge by more than 6000 years.
I think about that. Look at Stonehenge.
This thing is 6000 years older now.
The slabs that they used to build this structure were
transported from bedrock pits that were located about 330 feet
from the hilltop, with workers using Flint points to cut
through the limestone rock. That's the official story.
The pillars are the oldest known megaliths in the world.
Now 2 taller pillars stand facing one another at the center
of each circle. Maybe you've seen some of the
pictures. It's spectacular.
Now we find out that the T shaped pillars discovered at
Gobekli Tape are big. The central pair of enclosure D
measure right around 20 feet tall and away about 8 to 10
metric tongues, so 5 1/2 meters tall, 8 to 10 metric tons.
Now a metric ton being about 2200 lbs, that's over £22,000.
Just these, the surrounding pillars are smaller but still
reach around 4 meters, so you know, close to 13 feet.
The largest of them lies on the northern plateau.
It has a length of 23 feet and its head has a width of 10 feet.
Its weight they estimate at around 50 tons, 100,000 lbs.
So just imagine we're to believe that 9500 BC, you know 11,012
thousand years ago these hunter gatherers with nothing more than
flintstones without the use of a wheel drug.
These 50,000 LB stones 330 feet. Right now Gobekli Tepe is
believed to be around 12,000 years old, maybe 11.
It dates back to pre pottery in the Eolithic times, which is
9600 to 7000 BC, and it makes it one of the oldest known temples
in the world, maybe the oldest known now.
It's located in southeastern Turkey near the city of
Sambertha. It was discovered by Curtis
Shepherd in 1963, but its significance wasn't realized
until 1994 when German archaeologist Klaus Smith began
excavations. So they found it and then they
just let it lay there for 30 years.
The site features massive T shaped limestone pillars.
Some of these are up to 20 feet tall and way up to 10 tons.
Many of the pillars are decorated with intricate
carvings of animals, abstract symbols and humanoid figures.
That's what's weird. If you look at the image of
these things, these humanoid figures, a lot of UFO
researchers think maybe these things are depictions of some
kind of aliens or perhaps fallen angels.
Unlike other ancient sites, there's no evidence of permanent
human habitation at Gobekli Tepe.
This suggests it was a special purpose site rather than a
residential area. Think about that talking about
hunter gatherers type people. Maybe they had a few head of
sheet back then I don't know. 12,000 years ago they had Flint
tools, no wheels but somehow they were able.
They hadn't even invented pottery yet.
Think about this, this is pre pottery, pre pottery, but
somehow these ancient, really primitive people were able to
drag these 100,000 LB stones and then carve these strange
carvings into them. I don't know, it's a lot to
believe man. Now, the construction of Gobekli
Tepe predates the invention of pottery, metal tools, and the
wheel, indicating advanced organizational and cooperative
skills among the people who built it.
That's, that's what Wikipedia will tell you.
That's what the the archaeologist magazines will
tell you. That's what Google will tell
you. But just think about this.
They, they, these people hadn't even discovered pottery yet.
How to make clay, heat it up and turn it into a basic pot did not
do that. No metal tools, hadn't figured
out how to make a wheel, but yet they've got the time and the
inclination and the energy to build this giant temple site
that they only use on the weekends maybe or a few times a
year. You're asking me to really
stretch here. I think if I'm, if I'm going to
accept the mainline view on this, I have to really, it's
almost, it's almost into conspiracy theory territory to
think these people could do that.
The site was intentionally buried around 8000 BCE, so about
11,000 years ago, for reasons that are still debated by
archaeologists. So after they went to all the
trouble of building this thing, using it temporarily and this
imagine how much work this would take for people that were living
1112 thousand years ago without the use of tools, with just
using Flint tools to mine these rocks supposedly.
And then and then just using Flint tools, a few of you and
your friends drag out this 100,000 LB pillar, you know,
down the side of 1 hill, up the side of another maybe.
And doing this over and over and over again, only two, maybe a
dozen generations later, bury the whole thing.
None of it makes any sense to me, but it's, it's fantastic to
look at. And when you just think about,
when you think about the scope of this project, the size of it,
wow, something else. If we go here to medium.com,
there's a good article I found written by Stephen Guest dated
August 5th, 2023. It says Gobekli Tepe, an ancient
anomaly in Turkey. It says an anomaly is an is an
irregular occurrence, a deviation from the rule or
something unexplainable or abnormal.
And our and our world, our history books and our scientific
discoveries are full of anomalies, many related to
prehistory citizens. No satisfying answer to these
enigmas have been provided by mainstream science, but such
anomalies strongly indicate ancient technological
achievement by an advanced intelligence.
It is something that we cannot dismiss and must pursue.
Given the age of the Earth and the billions of years of
geologic and climactic recycling, the likelihood of
prehistory civilizations is considered quite feasible.
But getting mainstream science and religion dogma and religious
dogma to accept such a reality is difficult because it would
turn all traditional belief structures upside down.
This article is part of my series of articles regarding
ancient anomalies. It says to access all my
articles and it clicks on here because on it says.
Gobekli Tepe is an archaeological site located 6
miles from Irfa, an ancient city in southeastern Turkey said to
predate Stone Hedge by 6000 years.
Gobekli Tepe is to upend the conventional view of the rise of
civilization. The site consists of an
artificial earthen mound. The gently rounded top of the
artificial mound rises 50 feet above the surrounding landscape.
The mound is about 1000 feet in diameter and approximately 2500
feet above sea level. The site discover and excavator
Klaus Schmidt says that Gobekli Tepe was constructed in two
phases of social and ritual nature.
During the first phase, belonging to the pre pottery,
Neolithic circles of massive T shaped stone pillars were
erected. According to mainstream science,
these structures have been dated to about 10,000 BC, making them
the world's oldest known megaliths.
That means these structures not only predate pottery, metallurgy
and the invention of writing and the wheel, but were built before
the Neolithic revolution, a point that marks the beginning
of agriculture and animal husbandry around 9000 BC.
So think about it. These guys built these things.
They weren't raising sheep yet. They didn't have animals, they
didn't have cows and goats and pigs.
It was just them. And how big could the population
have been 12,000 years ago? How many people could have been
involved in this construction project?
Hewing out these giant 20 foot long blocks of limestone
weighing maybe 100,000 lbs, at least 20 on average 20,000 lbs.
Hewing them out of the bedrock, dragging them up this 50 foot
hill. It, it just buggers the mind to
think of people being able to do that.
And the second phase belonging to the pre pottery Neolithic.
The pillars you erected at this site were smaller and stood in
rectangular rooms, rooms with floors of polished lime.
Now imagine we're to believe that the bigger maybe 100,000 LB
stones, they were quarried by the by the 12,000 year old
society. Now 1000 years later, they did
some more additions, but they were they were dragging out
smaller pillars, maybe 2040 thousand pounders come on.
And the second phase belonging to the pre pottery and Eolithic
B, the pillars you directed at this site were smaller and stood
in rectangular rooms within floors of polished line.
So they're able to put up these polished line floors and stack
these giant mega stones on top of them.
Think they can do all that? But they hadn't figured out how
to make pottery or make a wheel. Once the ring of stone pillars
were finished, the ancient builders covered them up with
dirt. Eventually, they placed another
ring nearby or on top of the old one.
Over centuries, these layers created the artificial mound
that looks like a hilltop today. Mainstream science says the
Gobekli Tepe was abandoned after the pre pottery Neolithic period
and younger structures were then constructed in the area that
date to classical times through geophysical surveys.
As of May 2020, more than 200 pillars in about 20 circles are
known to be located within this mound.
The pillars were cut and crafted at a nearby quarry, then moved
and fitted into sockets human out of the local bedrock.
Each monolithic T shaped stone pillar in the first phase had a
height of up to 20 feet and weighed up to 20 metric tons.
That's about 44 or 45,000 lbs. One pillar found still in its
quarry weighed 50 tons. 100,000 lbs.
What? Maybe 100 hundred and 510?
Here is how Klaus Schmidt imagined the pillars were
constructed and placed by primitive people.
He saw Gobekli Tepe's sloping rocky ground as a stonecutter's
dream. Even without metal chisels or
hammers, Smith believed the prehistoric Masons, wielding
only Flint tools, chipped away at the softer limestone
outcrops. According to Smith, the workers
cut, ground and polished the stones into enormous T shaped
pillars before moving the megaton stones from the quarry
without wheel transport uphill several 100 feet to the site and
then somehow erecting them upright into position.
Well, I would love to see them repeat that.
Mainstream archaeologists estimate up to 500 people were
required to extract the heavy pillars from the local horreys,
haul them uphill a distance of about 1640 feet, and then erect
them at the site. Now, I would put a challenge out
to these guys, these archaeologists, professors, they
obviously work at large universities.
There's lots of young people there.
I mean, would it be impossible to attract 500 volunteers to
demonstrate this? I would like to see that.
I would like to see these professors acquire 500 of their
best, strongest athletic students come down to the site
there and see if they can mine and haul a 100,000 LB stone or
even a 45,000 LB stone. 500 of them.
I'd be very, very curious to see that it says the construction of
Gobekli Tepe implies the organization of an advanced
order not previously associated with the Paleolithic societies.
However, the purpose and or function of Gobekli Tepe remains
a mystery. The excavations at the site have
been ongoing since 1996 by the German Archaeological Institute,
but less than 5% of the site has been excavated, and Smith plans
to leave much of it untouched to be explored by future
generations, when archaeological techniques will have presumably
improved. Still, with a surprising lack of
evidence, some of today's archaeologists have their
theories. For example, the lack of
evidence that people lived in the immediate area argues
against it being used as a settlement.
To date, no traces of domesticated plants or animals
have been found. The inhabitants are presumed to
have been hunters and gatherers who lived in villages elsewhere
for at least part of the year. So you're talking about a group
of people that didn't, they weren't farmers, they were a
hunter gatherers. You, you think they'd have to
have been kept pretty busy just feeding themselves all day.
But they weren't really in any kind of advanced society.
No pottery, no wheels, no metal. But somehow they, they just took
it upon themselves to spend all this time coring out these huge
stones and dragging them down here to this, this hill to be
and be used once a year. It seems implausible to me.
Some archaeologists hypothesized that the elevated location may
have functioned as a spiritual center around 10,000 BC or
earlier, essentially at the end of the Pleistocene.
Smith's view is that Goli Tepe was a Stone Age mountain
sanctuary, and if so, it's the oldest known temple yet
discovered anywhere. Schmidt believed his this
cathedral on a hill was a pilgrimage destination,
attracting worshippers from up to 90 years away.
What I see there is somebody just kind of templating their
experience in history, their idea of cathedrals and, and, and
just projecting that onto somebody that lived 12,000 years
ago. I could see us get in trouble
doing that. I don't.
I don't see how you can make the assumption that it was a
cathedral. They didn't have cathedrals
then. Some regard Gobekli Tepe as an
archaeological discovery of great importance, since it could
profoundly change mainstream science supposed to
understanding of a crucial stage and the development of human
society. Mainstream society has long
believed that only after people learned to farm, which allowed
for a sedentary lifestyle in civil communities, did people
have the time, organization, resources, and inclination to
construct temples and support complicated social structures.
But Smith argued it was the other way around.
Gobekli Tepe suggests a new theory of civilization.
The extensive, coordinated effort to erect monoliths laid
the groundwork for the development of complex
societies. If hunter gatherers built the
site, then in the narrow view of Smith and mainstream science, it
could only mean that the ability to wreck, to erect megalithic
complexes was within the capabilities of these sorts of
early human groups. Smith believed that the
wandering hunter gatherers could not have built the megaliths.
To carve erect and buried rings of seven the tunstone pillars
would have required hundreds of workers, all needing to be fed
and housed. Hence the eventual emergence of
the settled communities around 10,000 years ago.
Smith says this showed societal changes come first, then
agriculture. Well this is kind of like what
the theory of evolution. The whale grew legs because it
needed to breathe. Well wouldn't it have already
died from lack of oxygen if it had to be stuck in the water
with no legs? This notion that things adapt,
by the time they got around to adapting, they would have
already been extinct by the time that these people who got around
to adapting. So say they all get together and
decide they're going to build this giant temple complex at
Potbelly Hill. And they all quit hunting and
fishing and gathering and they just get busy chiseling stones.
And then suddenly one morning they'd wake up and say, Oh my
goodness, we need to, we need to domesticate some animals here.
We need to get civilized. We need to invent pottery in the
wheel and discover copper and iron because if we don't, we're
going to starve to death because we spent all day chiseling these
these dumb rocks out instead of hunting.
I mean, that's kind of his his idea here.
The chicken. The chicken before the egg,
maybe kind of like with this notion of evolution.
Well, things adapt. Yeah.
But by the time they adapt, it's too late.
By the time these guys had changed their society into an
advanced society, raising animals and creating pottery in
the wheel, it would have been too late.
In the time it took them to quarry the first stone, they
would have starved the death. Because as a hunter gatherer,
you need to do that all the time, pretty much every day.
I think that's what it looks like.
I'm. I'm looking at the Native
Americans of South America. Yeah, they got some downtime,
but it's just one day to the next.
You can't just grow your food, have your cattle, your sheep and
your pigs out there running around and go and take one as
you need it. It's a day-to-day, hand to mouth
existence. Just like if you tell me.
Well, the creature grew legs so that it could walk on land.
By the time the legs were grown, it would have drowned.
Think about it. Same with this.
It goes on and says, but just as with another ancient anomaly
known as the Nan Medal and South in the South Pacific, part of
solving the mystery of Gobekli Tepe would require that Smith
and mainstream science explain why and how a labor force large
enough to construct, augment, and maintain such a substantial
project was organized, mobilized, compensated, and fed
in the 1st place, especially considering the living
conditions and survival needs of primitive hunter gatherers in
prehistory. As with other ancient megalithic
structures worldwide, alternative plausible theories
suggest the stones would have been cut, shaped, and moved with
the with advanced technology, including energy levitating
sources provided by intelligent extraterrestrials, or some
prehistory advanced human civilization situated elsewhere
in the world. Mainstream archaeologists
debunked such alternative theories.
They prefer to stick with their story of how all the stones were
cut, transported, and positioned entirely by primitive people who
were somehow convinced to take time off from surviving in order
to participate in an organized effort to complete a formidable
undertaking for an unknown cause while probably sacrificing much
and their personal lives. Some of the pillars in Gobekli
Temple are blank, but other pillars have elaborate carvings
of animals, and these pillars and these pillar carvings ignore
the haunted game on which the primitive people depended, such
as deer. Instead, the carvings depict
formidable and unusual creatures such as lions, vultures, snakes,
spiders and scorpions. Mainstream scholars have been
unable to interpret the pictograms found at Goli Tepe
and do not know what meaning the carved reliefs of animals had,
especially since the temples were completely buried sometime
after they were constructed. The variety of fauna depicted,
from lions and boars to birds and insects, makes any single
explanation for these carvings difficult.
And interestingly, the pictograms did not indicate any
organized hunting strategies, No depiction of hunting raids or
wounded prey. Smit considered the Gobekli Tepe
may have been a central location for a cult of the dead and that
the carved animals were there to protect the dead.
Though no tombs or graves have yet been found, Smit believes
that the graves remain to be discovered and niches located
along the walls of the sacred circles.
But ultimately, Schmidt has acknowledged there were no
sources to explain what the symbolic pictograms meant.
We're 6000 years before the invention of writing here, he
said. As mentioned, Gobekli Tepe was
not simply abandoned and forgotten to be gradually
consumed by the natural elements or destroyed by looting.
Instead, the existing pillars were buried every few decades to
be replaced by new stones as part of a smaller concentric
ring inside the older one. These concentric rings were
deliberately buried under as much as 390 to 650 cubic yards
of backfill material. Why the complex was carefully
backfilled remains unexplained. Based on current evidence, it is
difficult for mainstream science to deduce anything certain about
the originating culture of the site's significance.
What was so important to these early people that they gathered
to build and bury the stone rings?
As it turns out, backfilling the site preserved it for posterity.
What a fascinating article. You just have to wonder, what in
the world would these guys doing?
I mean, if you take, if you take the story that science tells us,
OK, you've got a bunch of these random hunter gatherers.
Now they say it would take at least 500.
If it took 500 workers, that means you'd have to have
probably with, with wives and kids and everything.
We're talking about a group of maybe, I don't know, two or
three thousand people. How how many, how many people
could the land support? So you take these people away
from their daily existence and their daily existence is looking
for food. That's what they're spending
most of their time. Dude, I mean, you compare this
to some of the primitive people that are still existing in the
Kalahari deserts, say, or maybe in Central Africa where they're
still doing the hunting, the hunter gathering thing, or in
the deep rainforest. Do you think these people have
time to go out and quarry giant 40 to 100,000 LB rocks, build a
temple and then bury that temple and build another and then build
another one in 20 or 30 years? Does that make sense to you?
It makes no sense to me whatsoever.
I think I like this story because you see this really in
your face architecture, these giant stone pillars and we've
carbon dated them so we know how old they are.
And so now how do you explain it?
How do you explain primitive man did that?
How do you explain somebody without pottery or the wheel
could do that, but doesn't matter to the mainline, mainline
science because they're just going to say, well, they did it
the same way they tell you that the fish crawled up onto the
shore, sprouted a pair of legs and began to grow air.
And you say, how's that possible?
Well, it took billions of years. Yeah, but wouldn't they have
suffocated by then? Defies common sense.
They make up a story and they stick with it.
Can't just say, well I don't know.
Just like with the situation here, how did those very
primitive people without the knowledge of pottery or the
wheel or any kind of animal husbandry, how do these people
who would have had to spend most of their day looking for food,
how do they have time or the inclination or the means to
quarry stones that weigh between 40,000 and 110,000 lbs, drag
these things 300 feet and better and then erect these giant
monuments? How could they do that?
And if it's so easy, if that theory is so plausible that you
say it took 500 people and you're a college professor and
you have 30,000 kids going to your college.
Wouldn't it be possible for you to get 500 of those kids to
volunteer for extra credit some weekend to see if they could
even pull one of those stones to see if they could do 1% of what
you're claiming these ancient people did see They could never
replicate what they're claiming happened.
If a fish could sprout legs and lungs in order to breathe air,
then go catch a fish, put them on the ground, see what happens.
As simple as that. We're just told to believe what
they tell us believe. Believe the narrative.
I don't believe it, and I don't believe this story, not for one
second. I don't know how those giant
pillars got there. I'm not sure who moved them or
when, but I really don't think that it was a couple 100 or 500
hundred gatherers who just randomly decided at the spur of
a moment that they needed to build a giant temple complex
with 100,000 LB monumental stones every 30 years.
Until next time, this is UFO warning over and out.
