Gobekli Tepe: Oldest Monumental Architecture of Planet
Predating Stonehenge by 6,000 years, Turkey’s stunning Gobekli Tepe upends the conventional view of the rise of civilization
Located 35 miles north of Turkey’s border with Syria, Gobekli Tepe consists of 20 T-shaped stone towers, carved with drawings of snakes, scorpions, lions, boars, foxes and other animals.
The amazing thing about them is they date back to 9,500 BC, 5,500 years before the first cities of Mesopotamia and 7,000 years before the circle of Stonehenge.
Scientists say that back then humans hadn’t even discovered pottery or domesticated wheat. They lived in villages, had no agriculture and only relied on hunting to survive.

Göbekli Tepe had already been located in a survey in 1964, when the American archaeologist Peter Benedict mentioned the site as a possible location of stone age activity, but its importance was not recognised at that time. Excavations have been conducted since 1994 by the German Archaeological Institute (Istanbul branch) and Sanliurfa Museum, under the direction of the German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt (University of Heidelberg). The title isn’t actually doing Gobekli Tepe justice since the Turkish archaeological site is 7,000 years older than Stonehenge.
Gobekli Tepe changes everything archaeologists discovered so far and it is considered the most important archaeological find in recent history. Klaus Schmidt, the man who first discovered Gobekli Tepe says the carvings might be the first human representation of gods.

Göbekli Tepe
Evidence for the existence of extra-terrestrial life?
Unexplained 12,000 year old underground city, in southeastern Turkey, is made of massive carved stones, crafted and arranged by prehistoric people who apparently had not yet developed metal tools or even pottery.
Göbekli Tepe (Turkish for “Potbelly hill”) is a hilltop sanctuary erected on the highest point of an elongated mountain ridge some 15 km northeast of the town of Sanliurfa (formerly Urfa / Edessa) in southeastern Turkey.
The site is currently undergoing excavation by German and Turkish archaeologists.
Until excavations began, a complex on this scale was not thought possible for a community so ancient. The massive sequence of stratification layers suggests several millennia of activity, perhaps reaching back to the Mesolithic. The oldest occupation layer (stratum III) contains monolithic pillars linked by coarsely built walls to form circular or oval structures. Göbekli Tepe has revealed several adjacent rectangular rooms with floors of polished lime, reminiscent of Roman terrazzo floors.
Thus, the structures not only predate pottery, metallurgy, and the invention of writing or the wheel; they were built before the so-called Neolithic Revolution, i.e., the beginning of agriculture and animal husbandry around 9000 BC. But the construction of Göbekli Tepe implies organisation of an order of complexity not hitherto associated with Paleolithic, PPNA, or PPNB societies.
At present, Göbekli Tepe raises more questions for archaeology and prehistory than it answers. We do not know how a force large enough to construct, augment, and maintain such a substantial complex was mobilized and paid or fed in the conditions of pre-Neolithic society. We cannot “read” the pictograms, and do not know for certain what meaning the animal reliefs had for visitors to the site; the variety of fauna depicted, from lions and boars to birds and insects, makes any single explanation problematic.
The reason the complex was eventually buried remains unexplained. Until more evidence is gathered, it is difficult to deduce anything certain about the originating culture.

Andrew Collins – Finding Eden: Mystery of Gobekli Tepe & Giza’s Cave Underworld
Description: In southeast Turkey stands the oldest temple in the world. At nearly 12,000 years old, Gobekli Tepe is an enigma to archaeology. Consisting of a series of stone circles, made up of T-shaped pillars bearing exquisite carvings of animals, birds, insects and abstract human figures, this ritual complex was constructed at the end of the last Ice Age by faceless individuals, who rose far beyond the conventional understanding of the hunter-gatherers who occupied the Eurasian continent at this time. Why were these amazing stone circles buried overnight, sometime around 10,000 year ago? It is an enigma that seems to start in Africa some 17,000 years ago, and ends with not only the creation of civilization down in the fertile crescent of Mesopotamia, but also in the sudden emergence of the ancient Egyptian civilization, where the story continues with the discovery in 2008 of a cave underworld beneath the plateau at Giza. Powerful evidence suggests that this underground complex existed ever before even the Pyramid Age, and might well reflect an African origin to the roots of ancient Egyptian religion. It might also hold the key to answering claims that in the vicinity of the Sphinx is a lost Hall of Records.
Biog: History and science writer Andrew Collins is a leading expert on Gobekli Tepe, and provides a powerful insight into the strange worlds both at Gobekli Tepe in Turkey and beneath the Pyramids at Giza. His books include From the Ashes of Angels (1996), Gods of Eden (1998), The Cygnus Mystery (2006), and Beneath the Pyramids (2009), in which he discovers and explores the lost underworld that exists beneath the Pyramids of Giza. Andrew, born in 1957, lives with his wife Sue in Marlborough, UK.

PS1 Gobekli Tepe: The World’s First Temple?
Predating Stonehenge by 6,000 years, Turkey’s stunning Gobekli Tepe upends the conventional view of the rise of civilization
Now seen as early evidence of prehistoric worship, the hilltop site was previously shunned by researchers as nothing more than a medieval cemetery.
“Guten Morgen,” he says at 5:20 a.m. when his van picks me up at my hotel in Urfa. Thirty minutes later, the van reaches the foot of a grassy hill and parks next to strands of barbed wire. We follow a knot of workmen up the hill to rectangular pits shaded by a corrugated steel roof—the main excavation site. In the pits, standing stones, or pillars, are arranged in circles. Beyond, on the hillside, are four other rings of partially excavated pillars. Each ring has a roughly similar layout: in the center are two large stone T-shaped pillars encircled by slightly smaller stones facing inward. The tallest pillars tower 16 feet and, Schmidt says, weigh between seven and ten tons. As we walk among them, I see that some are blank, while others are elaborately carved: foxes, lions, scorpions and vultures abound, twisting and crawling on the pillars’ broad sides.
Schmidt points to the great stone rings, one of them 65 feet across. “This is the first human-built holy place,” he says.
From this perch 1,000 feet above the valley, we can see to the horizon in nearly every direction. Schmidt, 53, asks me to imagine what the landscape would have looked like 11,000 years ago, before centuries of intensive farming and settlement turned it into the nearly featureless brown expanse it is today.
Prehistoric people would have gazed upon herds of gazelle and other wild animals; gently flowing rivers, which attracted migrating geese and ducks; fruit and nut trees; and rippling fields of wild barley and wild wheat varieties such as emmer and einkorn. “This area was like a paradise,” says Schmidt, a member of the German Archaeological Institute. Indeed, Gobekli Tepe sits at the northern edge of the Fertile Crescent—an arc of mild climate and arable land from the Persian Gulf to present-day Lebanon, Israel, Jordan and Egypt—and would have attracted hunter-gatherers from Africa and the Levant. And partly because Schmidt has found no evidence that people permanently resided on the summit of Gobekli Tepe itself, he believes this was a place of worship on an unprecedented scale—humanity’s first “cathedral on a hill.”
With the sun higher in the sky, Schmidt ties a white scarf around his balding head, turban-style, and deftly picks his way down the hill among the relics. In rapid-fire German he explains that he has mapped the entire summit using ground-penetrating radar and geomagnetic surveys, charting where at least 16 other megalith rings remain buried across 22 acres. The one-acre excavation covers less than 5 percent of the site. He says archaeologists could dig here for another 50 years and barely scratch the surface.
Gobekli Tepe was first examined—and dismissed—by University of Chicago and Istanbul University anthropologists in the 1960s. As part of a sweeping survey of the region, they visited the hill, saw some broken slabs of limestone and assumed the mound was nothing more than an abandoned medieval cemetery. In 1994, Schmidt was working on his own survey of prehistoric sites in the region. After reading a brief mention of the stone-littered hilltop in the University of Chicago researchers’ report, he decided to go there himself. From the moment he first saw it, he knew the place was extraordinary.
Unlike the stark plateaus nearby, Gobekli Tepe (the name means “belly hill” in Turkish) has a gently rounded top that rises 50 feet above the surrounding landscape. To Schmidt’s eye, the shape stood out. “Only man could have created something like this,” he says. “It was clear right away this was a gigantic Stone Age site.” The broken pieces of limestone that earlier surveyors had mistaken for gravestones suddenly took on a different meaning.
The way Schmidt sees it, Gobekli Tepe’s sloping, rocky ground is a stonecutter’s dream. Even without metal chisels or hammers, prehistoric masons wielding flint tools could have chipped away at softer limestone outcrops, shaping them into pillars on the spot before carrying them a few hundred yards to the summit and lifting them upright. Then, Schmidt says, once the stone rings were finished, the ancient builders covered them over with dirt. Eventually, they placed another ring nearby or on top of the old one. Over centuries, these layers created the hilltop.
Today, Schmidt oversees a team of more than a dozen German archaeologists, 50 local laborers and a steady stream of enthusiastic students. He typically excavates at the site for two months in the spring and two in the fall. (Summer temperatures reach 115 degrees, too hot to dig; in the winter the area is deluged by rain.) In 1995, he bought a traditional Ottoman house with a courtyard in Urfa, a city of nearly a half-million people, to use as a base of operations.
On the day I visit, a bespectacled Belgian man sits at one end of a long table in front of a pile of bones. Joris Peters, an archaeozoologist from the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, specializes in the analysis of animal remains. Since 1998, he has examined more than 100,000 bone fragments from Gobekli Tepe. Peters has often found cut marks and splintered edges on them—signs that the animals from which they came were butchered and cooked. The bones, stored in dozens of plastic crates stacked in a storeroom at the house, are the best clue to how people who created Gobekli Tepe lived. Peters has identified tens of thousands of gazelle bones, which make up more than 60 percent of the total, plus those of other wild game such as boar, sheep and red deer. He’s also found bones of a dozen different bird species, including vultures, cranes, ducks and geese. “The first year, we went through 15,000 pieces of animal bone, all of them wild. It was pretty clear we were dealing with a hunter-gatherer site,” Peters says. “It’s been the same every year since.” The abundant remnants of wild game indicate that the people who lived here had not yet domesticated animals or farmed.
But, Peters and Schmidt say, Gobekli Tepe’s builders were on the verge of a major change in how they lived, thanks to an environment that held the raw materials for farming. “They had wild sheep, wild grains that could be domesticated—and the people with the potential to do it,” Schmidt says. In fact, research at other sites in the region has shown that within 1,000 years of Gobekli Tepe’s construction, settlers had corralled sheep, cattle and pigs. And, at a prehistoric village just 20 miles away, geneticists found evidence of the world’s oldest domesticated strains of wheat; radiocarbon dating indicates agriculture developed there around 10,500 years ago, or just five centuries after Gobekli Tepe’s construction.
To Schmidt and others, these new findings suggest a novel theory of civilization. Scholars have long believed that only after people learned to farm and live in settled communities did they have the time, organization and resources to construct temples and support complicated social structures. But Schmidt argues it was the other way around: the extensive, coordinated effort to build the monoliths literally laid the groundwork for the development of complex societies.
The immensity of the undertaking at Gobekli Tepe reinforces that view. Schmidt says the monuments could not have been built by ragged bands of hunter-gatherers. To carve, erect and bury rings of seven-ton stone pillars would have required hundreds of workers, all needing to be fed and housed. Hence the eventual emergence of settled communities in the area around 10,000 years ago. “This shows sociocultural changes come first, agriculture comes later,” says Stanford University archaeologist Ian Hodder, who excavated Catalhoyuk, a prehistoric settlement 300 miles from Gobekli Tepe. “You can make a good case this area is the real origin of complex Neolithic societies.”
What was so important to these early people that they gathered to build (and bury) the stone rings? The gulf that separates us from Gobekli Tepe’s builders is almost unimaginable. Indeed, though I stood among the looming megaliths eager to take in their meaning, they didn’t speak to me. They were utterly foreign, placed there by people who saw the world in a way I will never comprehend. There are no sources to explain what the symbols might mean. Schmidt agrees. “We’re 6,000 years before the invention of writing here,” he says.
“There’s more time between Gobekli Tepe and the Sumerian clay tablets [etched in 3300 B.C.] than from Sumer to today,” says Gary Rollefson, an archaeologist at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, who is familiar with Schmidt’s work. “Trying to pick out symbolism from prehistoric context is an exercise in futility.”
Still, archaeologists have their theories—evidence, perhaps, of the irresistible human urge to explain the unexplainable. The surprising lack of evidence that people lived right there, researchers say, argues against its use as a settlement or even a place where, for instance, clan leaders gathered. Hodder is fascinated that Gobekli Tepe’s pillar carvings are dominated not by edible prey like deer and cattle but by menacing creatures such as lions, spiders, snakes and scorpions. “It’s a scary, fantastic world of nasty-looking beasts,” he muses. While later cultures were more concerned with farming and fertility, he suggests, perhaps these hunters were trying to master their fears by building this complex, which is a good distance from where they lived.
Danielle Stordeur, an archaeologist at the National Center for Scientific Research in France, emphasizes the significance of the vulture carvings. Some cultures have long believed the high-flying carrion birds transported the flesh of the dead up to the heavens. Stordeur has found similar symbols at sites from the same era as Gobekli Tepe just 50 miles away in Syria. “You can really see it’s the same culture,” she says. “All the most important symbols are the same.”
For his part, Schmidt is certain the secret is right beneath his feet. Over the years, his team has found fragments of human bone in the layers of dirt that filled the complex. Deep test pits have shown that the floors of the rings are made of hardened limestone. Schmidt is betting that beneath the floors he’ll find the structures’ true purpose: a final resting place for a society of hunters.
Perhaps, Schmidt says, the site was a burial ground or the center of a death cult, the dead laid out on the hillside among the stylized gods and spirits of the afterlife. If so, Gobekli Tepe’s location was no accident. “From here the dead are looking out at the ideal view,” Schmidt says as the sun casts long shadows over the half-buried pillars. “They’re looking out over a hunter’s dream.”

PS2 The lunisolar calendar of Göbekli Tepe
The lunisolar calendar of Göbekli Tepe, versions from Nevali Cori, Halaf, Safadi, Ghassoul, Egypt, Knossos, Tiryns, and China
Lunisolar calendar of Göbekli Tepe: a year has 12 months of 30 days, plus 5 and occasionally 6 days, while 63 continuous periods of 30 days yield 1,890 days and correspond to 64 lunations
The begin of the calendar walk was marked by a stone phallus. The calendar walk forms two loops, while the additional days at the end of the year are represented as space between the pair of central pillars. The calendar walk is at the same time a representation of the life of a supreme leader: the first pillars mark youth, the central pillars his apointment as ruler and supreme ruler, the following pillars his adult life, the final space between the pillars his death, the leaping foxes on the central pillars the guides of his soul through the Underworld back to daylight … A charming Celtic coin shows the sun horse on the early morning of the summer solstice, under it the snout of a fox peeping out of a hole in the ground – the fox that guided the sun horse through the Underworld and back to daylight
Cult building II of Nevali Cori shows 12 pillars along the walls, each representing 30 days, plus a pair of central pillars for the 5 and occasionally 6 additional days. Cult building III shows thirteen pillars along the wall, each representing 28 days, while the space between the central pillars represents one and occasionally two additional days, and this time 135 continuous periods of 28 days yielding 3’780 days corresponding to 128 lunations …
The lunisolar calendar in the version of Halaf required 6 leap days in 25 years.
Sooner or later the calendar of Göbekli Tepe was combined with an astronomical observatory in a river plain with a flat horizon, somewhere in Upper Mesopotamia. Imagine a pole or a tree of life in the center of a circle, on the circumference a dozen poles in the positions of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 o’clock, the poles of 3 6 9 12 o’clock marking the cardinal directions east south west north. Sighting lines provided by the poles allow indicate where the sun will raise and set on the mornings and evenings of the equinoxes and solstices

This calendar observatory became the Asherah sanctuary, from AS AAR RAA meaning upward (as) toward the one composed of air (aar) and light (raa).
On the lid of a curved ivory box from Beersheba I recognize a schematic representation of the Asherah sanctuary, twelve poles around a tree of life in the center, flanked by two geometric representations of AC CA, while a pendant from Ghassoul, left upper part chipped off, shows a more realistic Asherah sanctuary, with a schematic tree, branches pointing upward, and an altar in the form of a cross. A small ivory disk from Safadi shows a variant of the lunisolar calendar from Göbekli Tepe: nine perforations around a pair of central ones, each of the nine perforations representing a period of fourty days. Nine periods are 360 days, add 5 and occasionally 6 days for a year. The ratios of lunations (l) to periods of fourty days (p) yield very good additive values l/p: 4/3, 19/14, 23/17, 42/31, 65/48, 107/79 * 65/48, 42/31, 107/79, 149/110, 256/189. (All three objects mentioned in this paragraph are from the fourth millennium BC
An Egyptian month counted 30 days, a year 12 months plus 5 days. Horus was the Celestial Falcon. His right eye was the sun, his left eye was the moon. Seth destroyed the moon eye, whereupon wise Thoth healed it. The healed eye, the famous Horus Eye or wedjat (referring to the color green, the color of new life) was called The Whole One. The six elements of the Horus Eye were associated with numbers, namely the fractions 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, or, in my simple notation, ‘2 ‘4 ‘8 ’16 ’32 ’64. These numbers add up to 63/64, not really to 1. Why then, The Whole One? The Horus Eye or wedjat, I believe, represented a lunation, from one to the next new moon, or from one to the next full moon. Multiply a month of 30 days by the Horus Eye series ‘2 ‘4 ‘8 ’16 ’32 ’64 and you obtain 29 ‘2 ’32 days, or 29 days 12 hours 45 minutes – not even a minute longer than the actual value from 1989 AD, namely 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes 2.9 seconds. With a little fantasy you can even see the wedjat eye in the moon:
The Minoan double axe may be a graphic rendering of the solstices derived from the Asherah sanctuary, as shown in this drawing, inspired by the carvings on a block at Knossos (see also the chapters on Mallia and Knossos below)
The rosette in the center of the Tiryns disk, Middle Helladic, around 1650 BC, represents another variation of the Göbekli Tepe lunisolar calendar: each petal stays for 45 days, and the small circle in the center for 5 and occasionally 6 days, while 21 continuous periods of 45 days yield 945 days and correspond to 32 lunations disc.htm
The Azilian calendar may also have been used in the Neolithic Yangshao culture, and in Banshan. Later on, the legendary first Chinese emperor Fu-hi divided the zodiac into 28 animals and mansions. This suggests a modification of the Azilian calendar: a profane week of 7 days, a profane month of 28 days, a profane year of 12 months plus 1 and occasionally 2 leap days, while 135 continual weeks of 7 days, yielding 945 days, equal 32 lunations; a sacred week of 13 days, perhaps 1-5-1-5-1 days, a sacred year of 28 weeks plus 1 and occasionally 2 leap days, while 184 continual weeks, yielding 2392 days, equal 81 lunations.

Your comment is one of the most stupid I ever seen! It is about the galactic WOMB where our souls depart for purification and rebirth-resurrection to another cycle of life!
Learning is a concept. Each on in it’s own perspective then relates information from their own perspective and how one perceives any information then is their own perspective and concept in itself. Teachings may be very different and yes Gary much nonsense if one does not accept that the concept of another generation may have been quite different from our owns and if Genesis. The start or the beginning be looked at again with Tepe in mind one may see where all the rules and ways of our world were then created by one man or another and in reality if it is good we are limitless. Seek the good and do the best you can and you are limitless. All the rewards and fruits of the earth given unto thee for your use and at no cost to you save you believe he would never do one thing to harm you, not even if man said he would. If our very being and existence has created many rules, we created them for ourselves, then we must seek the good in the existing laws and continue to do the best we can with them., all the while knowing that concept is simply a learning since our birth. LIKE MONEY if I teach my child a fork is a spoon he will know no different. This money is not even necessary then. Rather I teach my child the real VALUE of the people and all the living things made. This world is enslaved to a dollar and all we need to do is FREE ourselves from this learned concept and LIVE all the gifts and rewards already given to us FREE by the creator our maker and our exercise and sweat is then our only cost in any thing we should seek to achieve. TEPE think categorical as a horse is alike or the same as a sea horse. If all the animals and man were then created of man each has like particles in science and each has resemblences and likeness, each particle relative to the other and these categories are much like saying an eating utensil rather than saying a spoon or a fork and more understood then on an international level or throughout an entire world language and communication. If one could communicate then with any individual then categories are used rather than names of items . Eating utensils are eating utensils throughout even though they all may look different. Images depicting these likenesses much like the Chinese relate animals to people, I am the RAT, these were then formed of these people. GOD made animals of man, monkeys in the likeness of man and maybe even born of man. All of these things then were created with like particles and are relatives. In the days of eden one would simply not need to utter a word only to think it to communicate with any other individual or being in the world. In the same note ones thoughts could work with others to then move stones if with good intentions. All the good intentions in the world then could prevent world disaster and provde relief. If one chooses to beleive any thing other than good, so it may be and only then may it be, and then it is not of GOD. Seek the good and good thoughts of it with all th best intentions and you will live in the best of all your conditions and love eternal 8. Shoudl you have issue standing at the center you go your way I’ll go mine and when we meet again at the center love eternal. LOVE is the key then and the key is love. Love unconditional. Love even when what one does, does not please you because their living was not meant for your pleasing. Your pleasing is in the good things you do. i look at my hands and I can see that MONEY is not the issue and needs not even exist today , yet it does and i can not sit and allow the death of a great many living things based on it and not speak about a better concept and better way. New learnings and concepts that certainly can be taught and to each indivividual in his or her own way, yet making one see this is and understand money must be removed as an issue OUT OF THE WAY to do so is only my right as a parent, where my kids are concerned and I choose not to then place a dollar in their world and on their head as a SLAVE yet due to existing laws I can not then buy underwear or any other thing without it. Forced to use a dollar concept then in a free country. I have requested an unlimited spending account to use and teach this method and concept to my kids yet have received no response. Their knowledge of my reason for wanting such should not even be important in this FREE nation I live in for our laws are already in place and I have my own right’s as an individual. Hiowever they must comply and allow it for me to acheive such a task as teaching my children a concept without money as the center. THE LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT and no dollar was ever needed for money is only a counting tool to count our rewards and gifts received. In any case Think Categorically when reading their great tablets of history and think solar and lunar and solace and star, then solar alignment in relations to all the relative particles of those then. THE LION RARRRRS. August peridot LEO yet it is the rat of China and I am all of me in every country nd every nation and yet I am in every aspect myself and still the same individual I have always been. So hen is our creator, our GOD and every particle then as he is in every particle, each one made from him and of him forst in his likenesss then pulled from his likeness and created each and every thing animal, plant etc. He created the heavens and the earth and we here on earth are floating in it. We live in the very midst of heaven eternal life. Do not be surprised at what it may be like if you yourself chose to beleive such things, maybe you should try again, look again, and seek the good in doing so. People and living things, including the earth are the VALUE not the dollar. This dollar was created by man. No dollar amount would have been in any plan that GOD ever had only the tool for counting how many of. hope my opinion is useful in some way THANK YOU
Dear Catherine,if you had studied all religions of this world in a comparative sense(parables of Christ),you’d learn from all that THE END TIMES ARRIVE WHEN OUR WORLD IS MATERISLISTIC,CORRUPTED AND WICKED ! We have reached that point of no return! The Dollar was created to corrupt the world,as was by the european masons created the corrupting USA…But even if we all were sinless as Chtist himself,or even if nobody lived on this planet,the END TIMES WOULD OCCUR ANYWAY-it is an astronomicsl event,not human!
Note the T-shaped stones,compare it to the T-shaped Belt of Orion with the Trapezium Nebulaes(M42/43) and with the T-shaped Sol-om-on Temple-plan in any Bible plan of Jerusalem…Or to the T-shaped silk on the tripple coffin of Lady Tao(Tav?) of Mawangui…There are numerous T-shaped buildings and Maya symbols. The masons have usually 3 inverted T-tavs on their ritual aprons…Then,there is the masonic,T-shaped Seagram skyscraper in New York,part of the US masonic Skyscrapers calendar(national Geographic,February 1989,pages 140-185). The solar Maya king,Pakal has T-shaped amulet in his green-jade funeral mask…Note the T-tav in reverse as Angkor(Anchor)Vat(tav);or Vat-i-Can…Vltava,and so on…The egyptian ANKH,and so on,worldwide,up to the T-shaped stela 6,in Tortuguero,anouncing after 2012 descend of Bolon Yokte Ku(depicted on numerous Maya symbols)-comparable to Yoktan of the Bible…It is also in the Galactic Trinity alignment on the central column of the Codex Mendoza…Then,there is the T-shaped building on Capitol Hill,in the squared twin cities of Washington,DC and Alexandria,VA…Of course,they are all astronomically related!!!
I had been reading Andrew Wilson’s Gobekli Tepe and Graham Hancocks’ newest Magicians of the Gods about Gobekli Tepe(aka Portasar)…Again,Hancock missed link between Zep Tepi and Gobekli Tepe(he mentions),but also comparison to the Tepcan Maya altar stone in Xochicalco,plus Tepeu Kukulkan as the END of the Time,since Zep Tepi is its start,new cycle…And also the Tepe in Eastern Island culture…Is Peten of the Maya reverse of “Ne” Tep???
Furthemore,Graham Hancock mention the Great Flood occuring in cca 9600 BC…It is documented as 9745 BC!!! And also the end of the last Ice Age in 11,967 BC…It is not only encoded on the famous Lid of Pakal-the Cross-Tree of Life ending from left-atop-right by Septagon+Square+Pentagon(745),but also on the new Gaudalupe basilica in Mexico City,in the tripple hill-Spanish sign: Bendita Seas Madre…With 7+4+5 letters,and backwardly as 754,from the end of the whole text-Bended Mother of Seas(Heaven)and of Son of God and our Mother-meaning Milky Way…Furthermore,11+9+6+7 is depicted on the US masonic flag…It was incorporated into the 9/11 attacks: 9+7+4+5 crew members in the so called 4 “hijacked” planes…The same number is encoded in the US Skyscrapers calendar,three previously demolished skyscraper-dates,plus twice 2001 for the WTC1&WTC2=9745 BC…And adding two pilots to each plane,as publicly revealed by the masons after 9/11,it is also 11+9+6+7 BC… Graham Hancock is very good author on ancient APOCALYPSE and the one to come,but can’t see a lot of related facts! Or,perhaps he does,but is afraid of the masonic dominated “academia”…Visit-Google:Bloody Masonic Fingerprints Left On 9/11 Crime Scene…
Furthermore,Graham Hancock depicted in his newest book-Magicians of the Gods, our potent Sun in the Dark Rift of Milky Way(the current Galactic alignment of our Sun with Black Hole),but had failed that the Dark Rift is also known as Mesopotamia in Milky Way,as is described in Genesis,chapter 2,verses 10-14…And there is plenty of a local copies of this Galactic Mesopotamia in our world…Beside the “main” one in Iraq,it is also the Sinai peninsula,or even the Manhattan island-perfectly used and abused(Battered Park)during 9/11 attacks and since then counting the END TIME…Hancock also failed to point out the true Zep Tepi to the year 23,745 BCE,from the Age of Aquarius(Potter-Creator-y.s.r./Djoser),since the Head of the Great Sphinx is Aquarian,neither male,nor female,but Elohim,plural,when the two,male+female stargates are in UNION of 69=Procreation/Creation…He mentions only Zep Tepi from 10,500BC,from the 2nd half of the Great Year,when Leo/Lion appeared on the Eastern Horizon…Hancock is lacking a lot of this knowledge and should visit Google-Bolon Yokte Ku-also Christian god?…Scroll down to my name comments-revealing more than his books alltogether!
Hancock missed the unoficial 13th house of zodiac,the Maya called as the 13th layer of heavens…It is Yama,or CygnusX1-the Swan,Black Hole as the cosmic vagina(female stargate) leading to the Double Center of our galaxy,known as the cosmic WOMB(Valhalla,Zion,etc.)…It is in ancient Egypt symbolised by number 8,across Mesopotamia to China(8 is the most sacred number in China)…Hancock failed also to know the Codex Mendoza,where its CENTRAL SYMBOL is the 9 starred Jar/Pot with 11 stars inside,the main source of the Maya vigessimal system based on number 20! The same pattern of 9/11 is encoded in Kremlin mandala,plus in Forbidden Purple City of Beijing,and elsewhere…It is also on the modern US masonic flag,9 rows,plus 11 columns of stars! The same number pattern is also in the modern bazilika of Guadalupe! And our masonic world used it in the G8 and G20 groups…
Note also the octagonal temples like St.Basil’s Cathedral in Kremlin,Moscov(Kremlin is local cosmic ‘mandala’). The octagonal Al Aksa mosque in Jerusalem. The octagonal roof on St.Paul’s cathedral in London…Or the Chinese pagodas with 8 roofs,and so on,up to the Inca 8 tipped star…Number 8 is the number of Christ and rebirth-resurrection,the number of the galactic WOMB,the Double center of our Galaxy,symbolized in ancient Egypt by number 8,horizontally. Dinah,daughter of Jacob,is 7th Jacob’s child,mentioned only 8 times in the whole of Bible.Dinah means Judgement,and Dan is the Judge…She symbolizes the Black Hole,as the 23th house of zodiac(the Maya 13th layer of heavens). With Noah,total of 8 people is saved,the number of resurrection/rebirth…
How can we look at all of those load bearing supports sticking up and not realize that this place was not buried. It was constructed that way and probably had the agriculture on the surface. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if there were lower levels besides. The evidence in my videos suggests that this was a common practice and was done on a very large scale. If they keep expanding the site I hope they have an awful lot of time on their hands. They’re going to need it.
People like you only distract from the true value and message of this MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY SO FAR!
People like me? I’m not sure what you mean by that. National Geographic magazine put out an artist’s conception of what Gobekli Tepe might have looked like based on the current theory. Search for pictures of that and the Hypogeum and compare the two. It was not buried, those T shaped supports supported the ceiling. Those two, the African and middle eastern stone circles, and Anastazi ruins at Chaco canyon and elsewhere all had something in common thousands of years ago. They weren’t outside. If you bother to look and want to see more my videos are easy to find.
You are way off the real archeoastronomy. You have no clue what is it all about!
Could people stop saying “Oldest” & instead use “Oldest Known”
Another dement comment…
EXCELLENT SITE – SO MANY WORLD MYSTERIES – HAS EVEN ONE MYSTERY BEEN SOLVED ? THE SMARTEST MODERN-DAY MAN IS STILL GUESSING – HOW DID THE ANCIENTS DO IT ? WHY-WHERE-WHAT-WHO AND HOW – DID THEY DO IT ?
Yes the ancients did it. But the thing is the way we think of them as primitive people, is actually what we are compared to them. We are first now beginning to be able to recognize what they once accomplished. Unfortunately we’ve made up and accepted so much nonsense as fact at this point that a fresh look at things is too much to ask of many. But the evidence is still there waiting for someone to point at it. Like this.

Hello there the ancients certainly did leave us with fascinating brief and view of our ancient past.How then could we preserve on this knowledge for future reasons what happens today gives a glimpse of what is going here at w-m team work is best.
Any further reports about this presented region.
Graham Hancock’s newest book, Magicians of the GODS(2015),even he claims to fight the orthodix academia,he is(Hancock),too conservative for me! Visit my knowledge and article: BLOODY MASONIC FINGERPRINTS LEFT ON 9/11 CRIME SCENE…
Preserve it for future? Is there still some time for us left??We are facing our END OF TIME,anywhere between 2019 and 2033 at the latest…You better resd Graham Hancock’s book-Magicians of the GODS,where he soberly gives numerous dstes,always only up to 2040 !
“Mysteries”? There is only one: Apocalypse of the world(Grest Flood) dating to 9745 BC,( encoded also in 9/11 attacks),and the next Apocalypse anywhere between 2019 and 2040 CE,as it soberly puts Grahsm Hancock in his newest book,The Magicians of the GODS, on several pages,over and over agsin,so no one reader misses it! In this year,2016 or, 5776 A. M. ends the Great Year,Anno Magnus…Afterwards,we are in open HUNTING SEASON,up to 2040 CE…
360° of zodiac multiplied by 71.6 years of Precession of Earth axis per 1 year=25,776 years,ending on 5776 A.M. of the jewish calendar of AM=Anno Magnus…
I don’t think these ruins are as ancient as this article claims they are.
Archaeologists have a persistent, irritating habit of portraying things as being older then they really are.
Where’s the prof?
Pseudo science is a sensational entertaining method of attempting to explain things;
And Linda Molton Howe, is a beautiful Lady but contrary to her beliefs and the Author of this piece of fiction are concerned; Huh Uh!
No way,Jose.
4 thousand years old–maybe!
But probably younger.
Your own ignorance(poor knowledge) prooves your comment…I spent 27 long years to study the anvient archeo-astronomies and cycles of time,from Milky Way,across the cycles of our potent Sun,down to the Earth,plus the luni-solar(main calendars),not mentioning Bible vodes,vodes Abjad in Koran,gematria and masonic symbols,sacred architecture and do on,up to the measurements of numetous temples of the world,to come to the same vonclusion,that has aldo Gobekli Tepe,that we live cyclical world,from ONE APOCALYPSE TO THE NEXT APOCALYPSE!!!
Are there hotels and other tourist facilities close by? Is there tourist-type transportation available? Can a visitor explore the site?
WE CANNOT SEE INTO THEIR MINDS! WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE CASE THAT RATHER ADVANCED CULTURES HAD TO WORSHIP SO-CALLED GODS! WITH THEIR ABILITIES , DID THEY REALLY HAVE TO?
In 9500bc, “humans” were about.. The European was the only one who was a primative and a “cave-man” if he even did exist at that time yet. But at that time, the so called Black peoples was everywhere from China to South America, and all points in between in either direction, including the poles, building monuments which are still here today, using techniques they brought “here” with them. When “science” quits racism, gives credit where credit is due, and cedes to this fact, then things, like these “my-stories” will be clearer.
You are dead wrong,the French cave-paintings dates back to 17,000 BC…And you sjould resd the Zouche-Nuttal Codex(Maya Codex),where is CLESR PROOF THAT OUR 4 MAJOR RACES ALSO ROTATE,EACH RULING AS SUPERPOWER ONE AGE OF SUN…Note on it the Dragon-Serpent Milky Way with TWO CUBED JARS/POTS AS CREATOR-POTTER, SWALLOW THE RED SKINNED MAN AND GIVES BIRTH TO THE YELLOW MAN,AS THE LEADER OF THE NEXT,GOLDEN(YELLOW)AGE…IN LINE,TO BE SWALLOWED,ALSO STSNDS THE BLACK AND ALSO EHITE MEN!!!
A lot of sense on this site.It is a long time since I lead a team to build a full sized Stonehenge for Lord Bath in England and even then I offered my theory that all the henges were originally sites where the crop was thrashed.High due to the wind being the engine of the winnowing process. The threshold of stones around the halos or thrashing floor surrounded a flat surface which soemtimes had a drainage and aeration groove in it , a riggoll and this in the English is maze.The French call a maze le dedale after the large tree or riggpole that was put up after the thrashing when the grain had been taken away and the stooks were stacked.The riggbands that held the straw in place ran between riggbolls around the stack and the halo at the top of the rig pole.
Concnetric rings of riggbolls allowed the support to be moved in as the stack was depleted.
The Germans are more logical and call a maze a Dolhaus as this is where people returned over the winter to get their share or dole of the stooks to feed their cattle.The cattle may have been remote or gathered in a nearby field so that when they came for straw to feed them they could also get a share of the butchered beasts.
No straw at the top of the spire but sometimes a lambskin cover.
Some aspects of the layout tuned into solar and planetary movements so the apportionment of the shares, doled out in exchange for corn dollies kept in dolmens on the bank ,was done in a manner that optimised ongoing survival until the last straw and the time when new growth rendered the stook exchange of secondary importance.
No mystical or religious symbolism, no ceremonial burials simply practical survival techniques employed by experts over many thousands of years.

These were hunter/gatherers right? There was rather large savannah like terrain surrounding right? Lots of animals in the area? Perhaps they migrated extensively such as they do in Africa with the rains and seasons? Now lets look at the Vaquero and the western Cowboy for an illustration. What better way to corral and likely butcher an animal than building an operational animal chute and circular run. The fact that there are carvings of dangerous, carnivorous animals should also be a “dead” giveaway. These likely were good omens for the superstitious and clues to what these people were doing with this contraption. They were herding, corralling and butchering these trapped animals as they ran in a circle being constrained by the walls, unable to jump out and meeting what appears to be a dead end. Many animals would be trapped together in the circular formation having run into the entrance chute likely extended by long ago destroyed wooden funneling systems extended outwards from the stone entrance. This is what science discovered in looking at the miles of stone walls in the Sinai and Egypt not too long ago. These walls were nothing more than game gathering technology of the times and it worked. The tall pillars in the center were likely platform and derrick holders to allow for men to stand above while butchering with arrows, spears or other implements then allowing for the extraction of the carcasses with leverage and help of those below. Perhaps worship was involved as we learn from the Israelites who were famous for burnt offerings in their Temples of worship. These folks likely did the same thing, offering to their God a token of gratitude for a successful hunt, now being able to provide for their families and civilization. My guess is that this system was rather successful. BTW, burying the walls simply made the edifice much stronger and hidden from the animals. Animals might have also fallen into the pit unaware that it was there from above. These primitives were rather ingenious!!!!
Here is a link to a video called “Beyond Machu Picchu” that may provide some insight to what this place is.

I am trying to find and buy a dvd on Gobekli Tepe…worlds first temple…can you help me on this matter…………..james
I think you’re all looking into it way too deep.
Why is it that EVERY ancient structure is presumed to be a temple? For goodness sake ~ were the human race so predisposed to build temples A) they would cover the face of the earth B) housing would probably still not exist C) knowledge of the reasons for such “temples” would never have been lost.
Thinking outside the square ~ civilisations visiting earth from elsewhere, or arriving here in desperate need like extra-terrestrial Robinson Crusoe’s, would more than likely build shelter in a style of their own kind, in a place of safety & strategically placed, using technology that precisely cuts and engraves stone, geo-positioned to act as a time-keeping and positioning device in case of long awaited rescuers.
It’s not a temple. It is a alien DNA lab. Making and tasting all the animal species to provide food for their half breed humans.
That’s why they buried it.
The calendar formation is just a date of when they were built. I’m sure once the other locations our dug up, they will find the humans on pillars.
Because there is most evidence for monumental structures being temples and none for them being airports for extraterrestrials. They can also compare iconography with religious beliefs of later literate peoples and sometimes modern people, as is the case with the Nazca lines, which Von Daniken rushed to call guidelines for UFOs. Filling a lack of information with what you’d like to see may be fun and sell books, and maybe a movie contract, but it doesn’t get you any closer to the truth. In the case of archaeology, “thinking outside the box” means fantasy. You can do it but it’s science so you have to prove your assertions and leave them open for disproof.
They do find other kinds of structures by the way.
Could these ground sites actualy prove the presence of a heritage that still continues through out the land maybe there where no borders back then just walking trails.
My title regarding the properties of species residents.
This site was not buried, it is from a time when the population was so dense that it was necessary combine habitation and agriculture in the same locations. One of our most common errors in evaluating very ancient sites is our tendency to think that they have been buried when they are in fact being exposed by decay, collapse, and erosion over time. The requirement for sunlight meant that the agriculture had to be supported above the habitation with large pillars or even stepped supports for multiple levels. Yes, I’m referring to pyramids and yes there is plenty of evidence of those methods being used as well as evidence of massive irrigated agriculture.

SO… HOW FAR , DID you say this historic site was from Mount Ararat of Noah’s fame?
And, what was the floorplan of the circular buildings? Did they align themselves to ancient constellations at the calendar stonepoints? Should the circles be read from the centre (central keystone) outward to the entrance\exit? What is the depth of the foundation of the central building? Was it intended to have a low or high roof?
Finally, what is the most ancient priesthood in the culture of the region? Have you looked at their folkloric/traditional iconography?
All extremely good questions…
Also, this is to date the most important site and should be used as the hallmark rather than grafting on all previous suppositions which were derived from erroneous or incomplete information…
Again, these were round stone constructions (do not add or impose any convenient ‘name tags’ to these constructions)..because I can posit valid names for these buildings using known data at hand: San Diego Zoo has round concrete constructions as holding places for animals, also, on banners, rather than stone pillars, there are pictures of the various animals and their locations at the building sites.
NOBODY WORSHIPS GOD(S) at the San Diego Zoo…
and my theory is as good as any one elses because they have no concrete data to disprove it…just suppositions. like me.
Our creators have been here a million years ago…and the cycle goes on. The previous race has ended, and new one comes. Then for sure after all our abuse of this earth… these we call aliens will wash this world again through an ice age or Noahs flood or any other form for the renewal of the species.
My friends, I dream a universe full of awe. It is totally massive in scope and potential. It is where our minds reside in constant motion and creation. One must amplify his mind to grasp what I am about to put forth. We are at the threshold of a BURGEONING. Be-man-ship can look into the mirror of existence and discern is true form. Göbekli Tepe is perhaps the silver bullet to our awakening by those of us who can perceive deeply the messages held within the stone offerings present at that ancient place. Those who built there may have been attempting to deposit some gestalt creation full of their minds and the creations that they were involved in prior to some great ordeal that had impacted their lives. They put forth whatever they could to tell us who and what they were, because they had lost their former powers to a high degree. What we see at Göbekli Tepe is their offering to us to show how they once had thought and created in a past long forgotten civilization. It looks highly genetic to me. If we read every turn and think intently on every significance, we may be able to know what they were about. I wish I were a youth, so I could see this project to fruition. But no.
I have always believed that we were much more when we came to this planet long ago. We have too much brain power to do the silly little things we do now in our selfish little states. As an educator, I know how great each and every one of us could have been had we tried harder as students and teachers. We waste our minds on “Nothingness” and expect magic. Magic must be made through suffering because each and every effort is rewarded with increasing consciousness of the potential of each picosecond that passes us by. My house is filled with many, many books that I have read countless times. Had I been educated as my aunt and uncles wished, I would have countless degrees. But, the universe does distract and much potential was taken away. Now, this trip is almost over, but for the rest of us, it remains to press down hard to extract all the knowledge and wisdom found at that ancient site. I believe there is much there to amplify our humanity way beyond its present scope. I hope they dig deeper!
Cheers, Orion
The more we find the less we know, great article
A very interesting article about these archaeological findings. If we would be able to go back into memory we may see that our past life has been part of these ancient monuments where culture invented religion.
Who gave this culture knowledge of such accurate astronomy to be able to develop a calendar? It has to be someone from “out of our earth”. Such contrasts of instruments used, herding methods and utensils do not match with astronomical knowledge here. This same pattern is also found in many other monuments around the world with the exception to what has been translated from other early culture by neighboring cultures and what has been left for us to find.
Everything about this site is astronomical
Every single relief represents an obsolete constellation – at a very different time
when once our poles were in a very different place
The Lizard descending is Lacerta
The fox is Vulpecula – and so on
Even the Celtic coin is Sagittarius and The Field (which we now call Pegasus), in the same manner that the White Horse of Uffington is clearly Sagittarius constellation.
The Field carries other names such as The Square, Scheat the Leg (which appears in many hieroglyphics in Egypt)and is referred to by Nostradamus as the Amputee.
Once our Earth tipped, changed polar regions and/or changed her orbit
the entire henge became obsolete…the constellations that were being used at that time ceased to be where they should be. A coincidence that the date of the “filling in” of the site and the date of major climate changes is around the same time?
Maybe the charting of constellations had something to do with those that came from those places? Such as the Orions who seem to have been involved with planetary (Earthly) pyramids and those of Regulus/Denebola and the Sphinx. The sphinx which was the end of a (their) year in Leo and the beginning of the next in Virgo.
You are dead wrong on the White Horse of Uffington, with its 45 feet erected phallus! it is Orion and its famous “hammer or sword”,the phallus,male stargate,which is the Belt of Orion,also known as MIN or TAV… Orion is the only celestial SMITH(Usama in ancient Persia,hence Usama bin Ladin created by the zionist BLUE LODGE of the West). Note the Hammersmith by London,and 13 Min-sters in the UK… Minoru Yamasaki was allegedly the architect of the Twin Towers in New York City…Min is the phallic Belt of Orion star-gate,and Yama is ancient name for the Black Hole and god of the dead,also goddess of the dead… In Seattle,Pacific NW,where symbolically ends the precessional Winter solstice,is cosmic mandala of 9 buildings-monuments of so called Columbus Circle Project,around the Y-shaped Union Lake. The Sting of Scorpio shaped ‘Space Needle’,526 feet high…By the Sting star,Al Shaula(biblical Shaul-Paul) is the double center of our galaxy. 526 meters up to the TV antenna high was WTC1(North Tower) it was attacked at 8:46 a.m.,Eastern USA Time,what was 526th minute of that SACRIFICIAL Tuesday morning,on 9/11…Number 526 was well known and used by the Maya to calibrate by Venus cycles their calendars.The masonic,zionist,BLUE LODGE of USA uses the same,Maya and Mesoamerican NUMBER PATTERNS! Rest of the world uses the ancient Egyptian NUMBER PATTERNS! Next,in Seattle(Sea-sky and TT Headquarter=Double stargate in UNIN of 69/sex)is the black Columbus syscraper of 88 floors. Then the next is the largest statue of HAMMERING MAN on 1st Avenue,in front of the Regional Museum, symbolizing the phallic HAMMER,or the Belt of Orion…Because Seattle has the largest Scandinavian and Russian population on the West Coast. Their God was Thor or Votan(Vatan) and Odin(in Russian,Odin is One God) who was famous for his HAMMER! Furthermore,absolute majority of Russians has Viking descendancy throu so called Varangians(Varan=Dragon).The 1st rulers of Kievan Rus and Duchy of Novgorod were Vikings! And Viking ships had always Dragon symbol in front of their ships! So,the so called Communist,judeo-bolshevik symbol of Sickle and Hammer was also of astronomical importance! Sickle stood for the Crescent(U) as female stargate,and the Hammer for male stargate! The Chinese nastional flag of the RED Lodge has 4 stars shaped in Crescent,and one large in front of it,clearly,our star-god Sun aligned with Black Hole in Milky Way region of Mesopotamia/Dark Rift!!! In so called West Mall Lake local mandala of Seattle,is total of 9 masonic symbols-monuments,meanwhile,New York City had only 7 WTC buildings… Plus the ANTICHRIST-female(“Mary Magdalene”) Statue of Liberty.She is with 7 thorned CROWN like Christ,with LAW tabled in one hand(Milky Way laws are highest in our Solar system),and fiery TORCH in her hand,because this Kali-yuga,Fiery Age shall end by fire(global warming)…There are two baptisms in the masonic Bible: By WATER and by FIRE…Our age started by FLOOD and will end up by FIRE…Hindus called 3 pyramids of Giza(copying Belt of Orion) as Kal-Purush, or tha one which PURIFIES by FIRE(our planet)…The more and more Jaguar Sun, with hundreds of erupting Sunspots is overflowing our solar system and our planet specifically more and more by solar energy,causing the so called GLOBAL WARMING…Where it hits the atmosphere we have usually big heats and scorching forest fires…And on the opposite side of our planet,big depressions, huge storms and floods!!! Going around our planet more and more with extreme weather from day to day,or week to week….Even the Soalr King Pakal had main temple of “Inscriptions” as Temple of Crucifixion and Resurrection of our Sun in Milky Way,and the Temple of Cross is Temple of Watery Baptism,meanwhile the Temple of “Foliated Cross” is masonic cover up for real name of Temple of Fiery Cross(KKK used to burn)…The Bible itself is a such cycle: From Flood by Water to the Apocalypse by FIRE !!!
Briefly, Gobekli has to be understood through an esoteric spiritual view. As in all the world’s ancient megalithic structures it was through a spiritual science using Sacred Geometry that they were constructed and positioned. The ancients understood the science of energy and the importance it has on human mental and physical well being. Energy can be manipulated in different ways for different purposes using various types of stone that posses unique crystalline qualities and set in various geometric shapes and patterns to achieve a desired effect. Each geometric shape from the circle to the tetrahedron etc. holds a particular energy flow and resonance. The effects can be amplified by building the structures on earth energy lines or grids and aligned with certain stars, planets and the rotations of the sun and moon. This connected earth and sky energy thus creating a mystical energetic inter- play that allows at certain synchronized time intervals, the opening of inter-dimensional port holes. Under the guidance of The Shaman Priest and likely under the influence of a psychoactive drug one could cross over to the unseen world of spirit and experience divine consciousness, thus becoming psychologically transformed or reborn if you will.
Along with the positioning of the geometric shaped stone the shape itself controlled the intensity and dispersion of the energy. For example, a straight up lone standing stone would draw earth energy directly upwards and disburse it linearly into the air like acupuncture. If you have two upright stones with another stone on top capping the both as in a Dolman, the cap stone blocks the energy flowing upwards thus greatly energizing the ground and air around it. In the case of Gobekli’s T shaped stones the energy is being released left and right connecting its energy flow to the other stones in the pattern thus creating a unified grid of high energy vibration throughout the whole edifice. These T shapes were employed by a lot of different stone masons around the planet for the same purpose.
Another feature associated with stone structures was harmonic shape and proportion. Most often the angles and corners of the stones structures were rounded either concave or convex. This enhanced the sound quality and increased the resonance of the edifice which elevated the psychological effects of hymns and mantras. Certain various carved indentations as symbols and images, lines, spirals, animals, birds etc. etched onto the face of the stones fine tuned the energy flow and the sound produced within the structure to the desired effect. Most of the images used were ones encountered in shamanic experiences and related to holographic geometric manifestations and cultural human and animal archetypes and gods. The circular placed stones served to contain the energy produced within the structure.
Concerning why the whole structure was buried, I speculate that the builders and people came into conflict with barbarians and with the specter that they would be over taken, wished to preserve their sacred site from desecration and destruction.
As for the great depth of knowledge both mathematical and spiritual, the ancients have forgotten more than modern man will ever know. The extent of their genius is abundantly evident in the numerous great stone structures and earth works they have left behind. It is to the determent of the human spirit that our ignorant so called religious leaders, scientists, teachers and intellects so egotistically and blindly relegate our ancient ancestors to nothing more than partially intelligent superstitious tribal hunters and farmers.
Excellent insights. The connexion between Math (Sacred Geometry), Spirituality and Energy seems to be obvious in ancient cultures.
Definitively official science is insufficient to hold new discoveries and the need of an enhanced point of view about Human History is urgent, in order to approach the everlasting question: What for are we here?
What an excited moment of History, just at the beginning of century XXI!
MATH is the only truthful and universal language of our planet,plus, it is the KEY to all masonic,mythological-religious “secrets”!!! All religions are also myths and masonic lodges! Vat-i-Can is 7 stepped masonic lodge,from Laicy to Papacy…All its monuments are astronomically oriented and their “secrets” are in NUMBERS,SYMBOLS,and astronomical orientation!!!
We aren’t the First or the Last civilization on this planet! The ancient left us in their monuments(in NUMBERS-measurements) galactic cycles repeating themselves,as well as the Anno Magnus Precessional Great Year,and cycles of destruction and purification of our planet,as well as new beginnings for mankind and our planet…
A fantastic article say for one thing?
Why can mankind ever be credited with such amazing abilities of creation and wonder, because lets face it we have been here many times before my fellow beings, have we not?
