Cracking the Göbekli Tepe Code: New Hypothesis | Ancient Architects 

It's crazy that they are literally planting trees and destroying what could be our first settlement instead of trying to find out more about it. And people justify it.....crazy world we live in

The trees were planted by the farmer who owns the property. He did it to claim a higher value when being bought out. The roots don't go deep and will not bother anything.

@@LooksLike-om4df it's the first human civilization known to man.... how much value more then that do you need? Roots dissolve rock..... it's npcs like this are what I mean.....

They want to just clean out the in-between stuff they left alone during the first major excavations, like dusting between the seats in your car for guests.

So you are saying they bought this property out a decade after starting excavations? Because the trees were planted much much later after archeologists started working there.

Yet it still isn't quite right. I dare anyone to ask me about it!

Your opinion?

@@supernova-5150I’m…asking you about it?

It’s an ancient mini putt

The crayfish theory ist completely off.

I think that the depictions are mostly a way to remember important things. This civilization was most likely afraid of loosing their teachings/cultural memory. This had most likely already happened to this civilization in the past. The anxiety to loose wisdom and therefore forgetting how to work the land might have eventually led to writing.

@@john_aceThis seems more probable than most theories, considering the timing of the younger dryas period. At first I was questioning why they would take the time and energy to carve out simple food source patterns, when it could just as easily be orally taught to children or adults much more quickly. But, in context of a civilization that was in fear of a near extinction level natural disaster (whether having survived one in their not too distant past or painfully aware of one looming just ahead) it makes some sense why they would try to create a more permanent record to guide any remaining survivors on either where/when to find food or what happened in their past/present to be aware of certain natural signs that would warn of imminent extreme danger. From an ancient human’s perspective, there were really only two important sources of inspiration for stories to pass down, imho. Those being everything that happens in the sky, and everything happening in nature with their food supply. I think that’s obvious, much more so than the true meaning of what these carvings are to us in our present.

@@DarkMatterExists The carvings of Göbekli Tepe are amazing since they not only use a Symbol here and there but various symbols in relation to one another. It is just a few steps from hieroglyphs and therefore maybe the basis of writing. I remember being told that something like "telling stones" existed in our region. I have no idea when i was told that or who told me that. A "telling stone" was basically a landmark like a boulder that is engraved with a symbol. When you would encounter a telling stone, it would be a warning or just connect with a story that you might know. The symbols would be easily understandable in the context of the culture. We now have similar landmarks but we use writing and we can tell the full story right there. The big problem is that we have no idea what kind of symbols people used in the past. Whatever might have been very easily understandable back then is just gibberish to us. An eel can be a warning for flooding and an ant might be a sign to carry stuff home. But we just don't know. You need some cultural knowledge to decipher the symbols. Without a starting point, it will remain unsolvable. If any connection to a later civilization can be made, the symbols might be decipherable. Just think of the radioactive symbol... instantly recognizable and a clear warning to anyone who understands it. You don't need to understand what radioactivity actually is, you just need to feel fear. Someone who is unfamiliar with it would maybe think that it is a family crest marking ownership and waltz into contaminated land.

​​@@john_acejust a little pointer it's lose not loose. Loosing wisdom across the world is something I could get behind though! So lose or losing. 😉

Thanks for video, and for travel notice . Do you have any info on why the major dig at Gobeklitepe has been throttled? And seems to have been intentionally postponed? That's just not acceptable.

this is oviously sperm

Sensible idea.

I think some types of information useful to the hunter-gathering compared to the member of an agricultural society are the same; some, vastly different. If you want to know what is useful for the hunter, you first "consult" (watch) the prey. On the other hand any information you may glean from cosmic bodies is only secondary to that. It's unlikely the guidance the stars provide would be at variance with the prey's adherence to that guidance, but even if it were, a hunter is not going to dismiss the prey's behavior because a constellation is telling him to. So information gleaned from the heavens is apt to be mere confirmation of what the prey is doing. Agriculture on the other hand is a whole different thing. You need to know when to plant your crop; when to harvest. Observing prey like antelope is helpful only if you want to supplement your crop with some opportunistic protein source or you want to shoo them away from eating your crop. The indicators of the seasons or of the type of weather to expect is so much more important to the farmer.

so true & about the ants moving, here they blacken our outer walls when a flood is coming anywhere near us & they know at least a week beforehand. watch the animals, they have instincts while we only have what we are taught by humans & todays school lessons are seldom worth squat! sorry to the teachers & professors but you are seldom taught the truth & only teach what you are forced to. nature is the only real world we have, we need to learn from it before we kill it all off. have a wonderful life!

I also said "that's no spider and those are very weird snakes". Anyone who has spent 5 minutes watching a snake would draw it's forked tongue but eels is a good hypothesis. Those baby eels Matt showed were so cute! I want to be as happy as a baby eel!

@@PatchouliPenny yes, good point about the forked tongue

I think that's the point. I just posted a couple of videos hinting at how they were concerned with transformation and rebirth. every animal they depict seems to be a shapeshifter.

Maybe it is not a river either.

Pillar 43 is a scene, with a lot of culture in it for sure.

Because writing was not required. 😊

The same animal motif is used to teach the web of life, how to build a trap like a modern crab trap but no bait required (how did Matt miss that?) and then how to navigate with stars representing the same animals. It's really beautiful. I imagine the same psychopaths who made them cover it up are still at work.

One Megalithic hour is 240 minutes, or 14,400 seconds (1/4) There are 6 Megalithic hours to the day, each made up of 6 minutes, each of which is 6 seconds long. If the Megalithic hour was divided into 60 minutes, each would be 1,440 of our seconds, times 100 is 144,000. One Megalithic second is 400 of our modern seconds, divided by 60 (to get minutes) is 6.6666666.... 360 ÷ 6.66 is 54 54 x 2 is 108 108 x 2 is 216 To effect this the hands on a clock count out 10 (units of 6) x 10 (units of 6) × 4 (=400 units of 6). Therefore the relationship of the Megalithic second to our current form is mathematically proportional to the ratio between the Sun and Moon. A Megalithic second is 6.66 minutes (400 seconds). A Megalithic Minute is 40 minutes, or 2,400 seconds. 6 x 6 x 6 x 400 = 86,400, the number of seconds in a day. This would mean a clock with 216 seconds would go around 40 times in a day (2160 x 400). This means 1 Megalithic second is 6.66 of our modern minutes, meaning their metric system is based on the Full Moon, of which 360 fit into to the night sky, and 720 will encircle the globe, divided by half gives us the 360 degree circle, and the basis for our present hexadecimal system of time. Which is why 1 degree of Arc on the Moon = 100 Megalithic Yards (2700ft). This means the Beast, the hidden hand of the Masonic fraternity, is the Moon; and Time. The white limestone covering of the Pyramids denotes the Pale Moon in Megalithic Ireland, like at New Grange, where Enoch describes a Crystal Palace illuminated by the Full Moon every 19 years. 6 x 6 x 6 is 216, there are 2160 years in an astrological age, and the Moon is 2160 miles in diameter, the solar metonic calendar using 60 6 day weeks produces 1 extra day every 216 years. There are also 216 Megalithic seconds in a day, and 216 letters in the name of the Hebrew God, Just as Solomon has 36 or 72 scrolls, and Muhammed speaks of 72 sects. Enoch also buries 36,525 scrolls, the number of days in a year, times 100. Oh by the way, this shows that our current measure of time is based on the principle of 1/6, the basis of an Egyptian Royal Cubit, but first they built the first ring at Stonehenge, which is 100 metres (330 ft) wide, with an area of 2160 square feet, a Cube's interior angles also add up to... 2160! This produces a Calendar of 60 6 day weeks plus five. Every 4th year a 366th day makes exactly 61 weeks. This means every 216 years this calendar produces 1 extra day, so after 648 years 3 days must be removed. This is when the Phoenix arrived, and stepped onto the Alter of Ra or Holy Grail, completing the Metonic cycle and bringing the Calendar back into sync with the first New Moon of the Spring equinox. The Capstone of the Pyramid is even called the Benben Stone, the Egyptian Phoenix is called the Bennu. It likely relates to Deneb, in Ophiuchus, the 13th Starsign of the Zodiac. The base of the Pyramid is exactly 13 Acres, as is Teotihuacan, because they share the exact same base dimensions. Such a location would be ideal for calculating the speed of light using the transit of Venus. Incidentally the Great Pyramid's Latitudinal coordinates are the speed of light. 1440 ÷ 108 = 13.333333 11 and 3 are the most sacred Celtic numbers of royalty, and also happen to be the proportions of the Earth to the Moon, and the Great Pyramid. The starsigns also precess 1 degree every 72 years 72 x 3 is 216 2160 ÷ 648 is 3.3333333 The Aztec Calendar also begins with a double transit of Venus, in 3116BC. This whole code can be encoded into a single Pythagorean Triangle of Dimensions 666 by 630, by 216, this is the Key of Solomon, 33 is the inverse of 66. 100 is the "perfect number" because it represents 10 6 unit metrics times 10 6 unit metrics, a unit being 6.66 ie 60 x 60 (3600) the number of Arcdegree seconds in a second, or a one second unit on a clock the size of Earth This means seconds represent 10ths of the Moon; 216, or 6 x 6 x 6 (100 ÷ 6 ÷ 6 = 2.7): Euler's number, and the number of feet to a Megalithic Yard, 3/11 is .27 and the number of days in a sidereal month is also 27. 11/3 is 3.66, the number of days in a Canicular leap year, the character of Thoth, Cuchulainn, and Kukulkan, the Dog Star, and star by which the Sothic (Seth) Calendar is determined. Thoth was the Son of Seth, who is portrayed as a Serpent. 3 x 11 is 33, the years in a Great Solar Return. As the Sun and Moon inhabit their respective houses of the Zodiac they animate the character within, playing out the dramas and battles we know as myths, for example the Moon traveling through each of the Zodiac houses each month, for a grand total of... 144 (12 x 12) Metatron/Enoch/Echnaton/Arkenaten's Cube is 13 circles in a Star of David: 13 x 360 is 4680 4680 ÷ 216 is 21.666.. The circumference of the Earth in Nautical Miles is 21,600 This means the basis of the Nautical Mile is the Moon. Multiply the Circumference in kms by multiplying the Diameter of the Moon by 18.6, the period of a Metonic Cycle to get 40,175.

I also think that the combination of all pillars in order tell a complete story. The animals might also have attributes just like in fables and fairytales(the fox and the crow or the tortoise and the hare etc.) I think the birds on the swamp are storks, not cranes and storks are associated with family life. There could be another level of storytelling in the pictures related to the characters of the animals.

Yours is also the opinion of art historians, who remain verified in this phenomena.

Cranes also hunt snakes but I also thought of flowing water myself so maybe you're onto something.

Had the same impression. Water flowing over rapids then over the edge of a waterfall. And maybe the thing with many legs is a crayfish. Maybe the cranes are waiting for the crayfish to be swept over the falls so they can eat it? Yeah. I think in storybook.

Heck, the local word for “river” could be “water snake”

Pythagoras means 'Heart of the Serpent', he was born in Sidon, a fishing Port in Phoenicia. His mother received a prophecy from the Oracle at Delphi that he would become a great Leader & Teacher. Sidon means 'Kingdom of the Fish', & the Essenes, who wrote the Dead Sea scrolls, worshipped Pythagoras. The Sarcophagus of Eshmun III found in Sidon names him as the 'Widow's Scion', aka Hiram Abiff, Founder of Freemasonry, of which Tyre was the premier Capital (at least equal to Thebes). In 911BC Rameses II married the Queen of Sidon, home of Jezebel (Daughter or consort of Baal, ie "Queen") founding Neo Assyrian Babylon, an alliance between Egypt & Hiram, Father of Jezebel, & King of Assyria; forming the Phoenician colonies, & building the Temple of Melqart to commemorate their alliance. The Si in Sidon is the basis of the Latin Exe, or X, and is the basis of the Cross, or Chi Rho that Constantine painted on his shields. Also known as the Cross of Tyre, or Cross of Baal, being Ra-El, or Ba'El. Using Euler's number to map irrational numbers also produces a Templar Cross: ie where Eclipses are most likely to occur, called the 'Saros' Cycle. This cross can also be seen around the neck of Nimrod in Assyria, consistent with the Union Jack, & Solstice Calendar found in the Vatican's Shiva Lingam. Shiva is the Hebrew word for 7, & their culture also found its way to Korea & Japan (via the Philippines) ultimately becoming Shintoism. It was the Phoenicians who gave their name to the Pole Star, _Phoenice,_ which they used to Navigate the Oceans using the Zodiac, that's what the Antikythera mechanism was for, & with it they wrote the Byblos Baal; what we now call the Bible. The first form of the Bible was written in 325BC & called 'Vaticanus Graecus', or 'Son of the Sacred Serpent', ie Sirius, the basis of the Sothic Calendar, which uses a Hex Decimal & base 60 system found in all Megalithic sites around the world. In the second century AD the Astronomer Valentinus Vettori transcribed it into a Lunar chart of 13 houses, what we now call the Zodiac. Horoscope means 'Star Watcher', or 'Time Keeper' & the Phoenician word for Saturn, or El, was *_Israel_* or _El,_ (Fruit) of Isis (Ishtar) & (Amin) Ra. Equally El is the 'Father' of Ra the Sun, & Consort of Isis the Earth Mother, ergo _'El Ptah'_ is the *Moon* or Set. Phoenicia was the interim between Egypt & Greece, with artisans & culture exceeding that of the Greeks, whom literally adopted the Phoenician Alphabet, which we still use to this day; sounding out words phonetically. 'Phoenician' is alliterated in 'Venetian', & 'Vikings', being Kings of the Sea, [Sea Pharoahs] El is the primary God of the Phoenicians, representing the offspring of Egypt, & his consort Astarte or Ishtar represents the Assyrian half of the alliance. Such lineages & alliances can be traced (through the naming of gods) to Ireland & the Vikings, Indonesia, the Americas; even as far away as Australia, & New Zealand. It denotes Sirius as 'Son' of Orion & Pleiades, which sits at 33 degrees of the Zodiac. The basis of the Sothic (Seth) Decan Calendar of the Egyptians. The New Moon in this position marks Rosh Hashanah, the Egyptian, Celtic, Phoenician, & Assyrian New Year, with the first New Moon of September, so called as it's the 7th House of the Zodiac, when the Sun is in Ophuichus. 'Phoenix', 'Benben', or 'Bennu', is Egyptian for 'Heron', or Feathered 'Serpent'. It baptised itself in frankincense & myrrh at Baalbek, then alights atop the Great Pyramid, upon the Holy Grail, or Altar of Ra, every 630 years to take three days off the calendar; during the course of the first New Moon of Nisan, which means 'Prince'. The Capstone of Pyramids is even called the Benben or Bennu. The Phoenix is found in all religions, which are all Astrological Allegory for the Moon travelling through the Constellations as a soul migrating from body to body. Thus is the basis of Joseph Campbell's Monomyth, or 'Hero's Journey' with the cycles & orbits of the planets serving as portents, omens, allies, etc. Thus Astrology was the Science of the Bronze Age & Reincarnation was the early teaching of the Gnostic Christian Church, & relates to the lineage of Kings: "The Pan is Dead! _Long live Pan!"_ The Bennu is the Egyptian Phoenix, to Phoenicians the Hoyle, Etruscans saw birds as sacred too, as did Celts, & Picts. Hebrew & Iberia have the same root; meaning _'over'_ ie _'overseas'_ or 'those [whom travel] over [the] sea'. A colony called Iberia also appeared on the Eastern shores of the Black Sea, with the same Dolmen & Megalithic culture originating in Ireland and Brittany circa 4500BC. _Phoenician_ means 'Scion of the Phoenix', the first Bible: Vaticanus Graecus; 'Scion of the Sacred Serpent' (Prince). Then there's the Essenes; :Sons of Light', the Tuatha De Danaan; Sons of Light, Anunnaki; Sons of Light, Arthur Pendragon; Arthur [Thor] 'Son of the Dragon'. Chertoff is Russian for "Son of the Devil" & Dracula also means 'Scion of the Dragon'. Masons call themselves the "Brotherhood of the Great White Serpent", & the Ziggurat of Anu denotes her as a great white Serpent too, while at New Grange & the Bru na Boinne, Ireland (4000BC) the white quartz ramparts also denote the Moon. The Moon itself travels either side of the Solar Elliptic by 5 degrees through specific constellations in a serpentine fashion that is always changing, but repeats every 19 years, the time it took to train a Druid or Magi, Magi meaning 'Teacher'. The Phoenix is also associated with this sacred number 19. "Pharoah" means 'Great House' or 'House of Light' & Cairo used to be called Babel. Pharaohs were called 'Commander in Chief' & wore a hooded crown representing feathers, so did Native American Chiefs, ie the Feathered Serpent. Aztecs also had 'Serpent Kings', (Canaan means Serpent Kings, & Sidon was a Son of Canaan & Great Grandson of Noah) who were called to lead with "cunning & guile" being the virtue of their "right to rule"; being seen as "just" in public, while shrewd in private. "As wise as Serpents, (while appearing as) _gentle_ as Doves." The old Egyptian flag of an Eagle holding a Snake is also reflected in the Modern Mexican flag, denoting the Constellations of Serpentis (13th sign of the Zodiac) and Aquila. The dimensions & 12 mathematical constants of the Great Pyramid are also expressed in New Grange, & Stonehenge, as well as in Watson Brake, (2500BC) & Teotihuacan, which correlates to the Phoenician/ Sumerian Seximal system, which is what our modern systems of time are based on, unlocking a fractal pattern reflected in the musical chord, electrical resistance, relative Planetary orbits, indeed; throughout _all_ creation. Officially no one knows who invented Astrology, the Zodiac, navigation by the stars, or time keeping. But whoever built the pyramids, & pioneered the 24hr clock in Egypt 5000 years ago already knew the exact dimensions of the Earth, & the speed of light. Because these can all be calculated using these Megalithic sites as a Surveyor use a Theodolite. Specifically at Teotihuacan; 230 degrees opposite Cairo, & with the exact same footprint. The ideal positions to determine the speed of light using the transit of Venus, allowing for accurate Longitude for Maritime navigation. Capt Cook did the same thing in 1774 when he 'discovered' Easter Island. The only culture that fits the bill was wiped out "not one stone upon the other" by the Romans in 146BC. Tyre, the capital of Phoenicia (Israel) sat just offshore from Ursu Salaam: City of the New Moon; City [or 'Rock'] of Peace; root of the name _'Jerusalem'_ & was also seized by Rome in 70AD after a 3.5 year siege. The gap between is 216 years (6x6x6). Greek Dionysians built the Temple of Solomon (now called the Temple of Melqart) representing the Solar Lunar (Solomonic) Metonic Calendar on which this system is based. They also carried mirrors, a practice associated with Magi, Druids, Greeks, & Egyptian scholars. These Mirrors are Astrological charts called 'Cycladic _Pans'_ & record the cycles of the planets. The first Temple of Melqart ( Phoenician Horus, Hercules, Pan, Thor) represents the 13th Constellation of Ophiuchus or 'Serpent Bearer' (hence Orphic Serpent worship) & had pillars of Emerald (Jasper) & Gold, ie Isis (Tree of Life) and Osiris (Tree of Knowledge). The Jerusalem Temple only took payment in "Shekels of Tyre" a currency minted during the Jewish rebellion against Rome, hence _"give that which is Caesar's unto Caesar"_ When Alexander sacked Tyre in 332BC they moved to Carthage meaning "New City" or New Jerusalem, & built a second temple with Pillars of Bronze. Nebuchadnezzar also sieged Tyre for 13 years, taking the City captive in 573BC: the same time as the biblical account of the Jews, (& again the Romans in 70AD after a 3.5 year siege, also consistent with the same biblical accounts). Palaset was the name of a tribe of the Sea Peoples, Pallas _Set_ denotes the New Moon of Ammun Ra rising in Gemini, the *Pallas* Constellation of the Twins "that stand before Orion", due West of the Temple between the Gates [Pillars] of Gibraltar; "Gabriel's Altar", ie 'Pallas Stein', or Pallas Stone, 'Phallus' or Philosopher's Stone: the _"Rising Son"._ So 'Wormwood', like 'Tyre' means 'Bitter Rock', for the same reason; as the Son rising from the 'Bitter' [Salt or 'Black'] Sea of the Underworld; The 'Black Rock' or 'Gatestone' 🌑 The Cross of Tyre or Ba'El ❌ represents Lunar maximums & minimums & correlates with the Cross Quarter days of the Solstice Calendar. Align the Cross ❌ Chi Rho Christian ✝️ & Star 🔯 to the Zodiac, & you have a Compass & Timepiece that correlates to the Nautical Mile; allowing for global Maritime navigation. It is in fact an Astrological allegory for a Sothic Metonic Saros Zodiac Calendar using Accusations in a Mirror 🪞 *A Phoenix **_Cypher_*

I was thinking the same thing. Groups moving from pillar to pillar for lessons.

Perhaps not so much 'higher learning' as a calendar/instructional record of what foods become available at certain times of the year, where, and what conditions

I think he was saying the crayfish there when the water is hot make more female fish that don't have big fighting claws so they have six legs. Also I think he mentioned it could be a springtime

The site wasn't abandoned because of climate change. It was buried on purpose. This place was around during the ice age, prior to the flood. If it was because of climate change then 5he pillars would have been knocked over and broken but they weren't. So that only leaves that it was buried. But why was it buried? If it was because of war, it would have been destroyed. But obviously it wasn't that either.

@@johnrathbun2943 The theory that it was buried on purpose has been disproven; see the video Matt posted about this issue

@sampatton146 than how would you explain that the pillars are still standing and not knocked over? Sediment is very small grains and dirt. Sediment doesn't turn into rocks. The wind can't blow rocks that were around the pillars. You see common sense has to come into theories. They just keep making up why something is there to justify their theories. Plus the theory is at that time in history they were hunter gatherers. This can't be because it would take a long time to make those pillars. They didn't have grocery stores to pick up dinner. They would be running around foraging for food. You see if you study the nutritional facts about humans you will know that we need alot of calories to keep us going through life. A gorilla that is physically bigger yes but not as smart as us actually needs basically the same amount of calories as us. Gorilla's must hunt and scaveng at least 8 hours a day to keep enough calorie intake to stay alive. Humans on the other hand are smaller yes but we need even more of a diversity of food to supply the correct nutrients for us because of our bigger brains. A humans brain consume 30 percent of our food intake. Babies and very young children use 50 percent of total food intake for their growing brains. The brain even though small compared to the human body needs alot of energy. If you spent at least 8 hours a day foraging then you wouldn't want to drag some rock from a long distance to one particular point to set it up to make a pillar for a dwelling. The reason being you are foraging so you are on the move all the time looking for food. You can't settle down in one spot. You see this is called common sense thinking. Now I want to confuse you some more. How did they make those intricate carvings without hammer and chisels? Remember the theory is those were knuckle dragging cave people. Just a couple evolutions away from gorilla. You see this is the great controversy about Gobecli Tepi. We are looking at a factual object that goes against the accepted theories. Just because someone goes to college and spends alot of money pn a degree doesn't mean that they are right with a story that they learned. Everything that I learned about space in science has basically been proven incorrect. Gobecli Tepi is the object that disproves the academic approved theories about human existence. Sometimes the know it alls don't know shit because they were taught a Santa Claus theories. Just like in the old days they taught that we are lucky ones and that there isn't any life out there other than humans and what is on earth. But now science doesn't even question this it knows that there is life out there,but the question is where. I grew up in the time when they said there is no life on the bottom of the ocean. How untrue that has been proven. You see everything that you are told is true in life you must question. Even Machio Kako says that there is a God. He is the only scientist that would publicly announce that.

@@Toneloke-3000 Crayfish have 4 pairs of ordinary legs and one pair of claws. the animal depicted has only 3 pairs of legs, so it cant be a female crayfish in springtime as it would still be missing a pair of legs.

Clan iconography is certainly a possibility but it seems to make better sense for central isolated animal-totems than for elaborated complex scenes anyhow.

It's the Constellations of the Zodiac and their associated events

A lot of symbolism is to do with food…. & the said conservation of

You’ve assumed so much in that statement.

People lived in clans? You do right now, which made you think this is natural. But it does not give insight on them.

Now there’s a good thought.

Because animals always stay put in that direction and there are separate pillars facing different directions because animals like to group themselves, with respect to a human observer at a specific site taking a specific azimuth?

You're closer than most. They also buried babies in baskets and covered them with red ochre at Catalhoyuk, so we have to think about that, too.

@@supernova-5150 - Çatalhöyuk was a different culture, connected maybe but a different one anyhow. It was part of the wider Vasconic Neolithic that settled most of Europe (and also remained in South Anatolia until the c. 5000 BP expansion of Halafian-derived groups, also not directly related to GT AFAIK).

The bags aren't bags, they're Celtic Survey Plumbs, called a Labrys they're found in Gravinis circa 5000BC

Maybe the H is a structure to pool and divert water for agriculture.

the bags are probably the paths of the sun during three of the seasons. the space between the half circle and the edge of the bag isn't uniform on them. and the bags are in later art

I wonder if this was a stone age university where surrounding communities would send their young to learn how to hunt and fish.

​@@eskoelmwood5936That's my thinking as well

Good point. Well, the site at Gobekli Tepe may have been many things at the same time: a regional meeting and educational / knowledge sharing ritual, as well as a burial site. And wouldn't it make sense to have such burial chambers? It must have been an honor for one's tribe to have a member interred there. So: such internment enhanced the value of the supposed educational mission that Matthew is considering here.

Sure. But could it have been buried in the mud of a catastrophe instead of by man. Those Easter island moi have similar pictographs. They are also partially buried. And those giant blocks at Pumapunku are strewn about by a catastrophe. It seems to me that the rongo rongo language of Easter island existed back then so it's wrong to assume they had no written language just because they haven't found any tablets there. The Easter Islanders were using the wooden tablets for fire wood.

Recent online research of Chauvet cave art revealed a firm of proto- language aspect in association with these images of, an arrow directing a pregnant animal giving birth. Fantastic!

Not just any sites...THE site in Indonesia that ground penetrating radar has indicated amazing things, on the site of the most amazing things since Giza plateau. WEF has determined that any digs do not "need" to be done for 150 years

@@jaymehatfield9540 yes, I just saw that! It's ridiculous. Imagine if the Archeologists of the past had taken that same stance. We wouldn't know anything right now. It's an outrage. I hate being a conspiracy guy. But they must know that future discoveries might hurt their control and power structure. I mean why else would economic people care about Archeological advancement!? The Osirion, and the cave systems under the Giza Plateau should also be under more rigorous study. At this day in age with technological advances and potential tourist opportunity there should be more funding for Archeology. NOW MORE THAN ANY OTHER PERIOD IN TIME! In my opinion.

@@VikingWarlord i concur to your thinking. Clearly you see the pattern. And when this is investigated deeply, we see that this has been done for a very long time. Technology affords us the ability to match, extrapolate, and confirm that our world is not what we think---it is as "they" present it. I suspect the three religions(the only ones that seem to matter despite having hatched in one tiny speck of geographical earth over a suspect timeline) will soon be unmasked to the masses. And that it will be revealed that those systems of control would be the reason for so much obfuscation and conspiracy o'er the ages.

yet we have books about seasons for children and they learn about it in kinderkarten and school. Yes, they can see it, however it's good to explain how one season follows the other, what are the signs, like swallows coming means spring is coming. They spend weeks learning about seasons. There are also gardeners' magazines to tell when is a season to plant a tomato and when a potato, when to prune etc... they might have had something like that.

@@ajkaajka2512 Back then, children were not segregated in schools, they just went around with their parents and learned by observation. I am sure nobody said "Oh look, the apple trees are fruiting, I think we should go and pick some". More likely someone just said, "Well, looks like the weather today is good for picking apples", and everyone else just followed, because it was obvious to all the apples were ripe.

@@flamencoprof yes, you have a point, they learned by watching and doing. However, they would also learn from stories and telling, Like kids do in many tribes even today. They gather around fire and listen, because those stories have wisdom about weather and life. And somebody could carve those stories and knowledge into the rock. They could see animals and they knew now is hunting season, but it could help to plan it in advance: ''We see these signs in nature, we know in few days will be hunting season, lets get ready for it.'' Humans like to plan ahead, it makes things easer, than just wait for things to happen.

@@ajkaajka2512 You make good points, especially re planning. I think we should agree to see the same thing different ways.

@@flamencoprof yes. I agree :) who knows what they meant when they carved them. It's all just theories and our ideas, and we will probably never know..

We may never know what the specific purpose was but common sense intuitive first impressions would be satchels for carrying stuff. Primitives used hide pouches but they served the same function....carrying stuff. These beings carrying them or offering them always seemed to intuitively be the transport or giving or whatever they contained, probably determined by the other glyphs. I don't know that it was all that secretive. These carvings are fairly ubiquitous so while they used symbolism, they also needed to be comprehensible to those who viewed them. Cats are cats. Birds are birds. People are people. And then whateverthefck the hybrid species bird dolphin winged lion people were supposed to be lol. It could also be as simple as this multi cultural society depicted in this giant multi hybrid being. This population is known for being populated by humans / big cats / birds / fish, etc. That sort of context. Or..........winged half man half lion part turtle fish creatures roamed this earth and made primitives spend their days carving warped effigies to them because of their egos. lol

I agree, it’s a silly idea.

Yes you teach those of age by showing and doing. Those too young to be taken out into the dangers of the field could benefit from teachings on stone pillars. If it was as a reference for visiting groups that would also make sense as would preserving the knowledge for future generations; especially considering the younger dryas was in recent memory.

Yes, but ceremony and "off-site" instruction are just as important and serve additional functions of holding society together. Also, having a stylized set of story-telling stones with images is a very useful tool for jogging the memory and to help make sure that things are not forgotten within that society.

@@parkerbradley2457 You're projection your childhood grade school experience on a 9,000 year old site... and after watching dad spend five days making a net he needed to be reminded that the net goes ABOVE the lion... heh... yeah right.

@@gwaeron8630 You really think people could "remember" a glacial epoch that lasted 1,000 years?..

That seems to me quite likely. Each round building could have been the work of 1 tribe. Tribes competing with each other to make their building more interesting, more richly decorated. Visiting it once per year and doing some work on it before the region wide gathering.

Almanac is a great word to start with at Gobekli Tepe, but it also involved death, we can't forget

Given the other motifs found on pillars there in different areas, it could well have been an educational facility, the first prototype universities to be able to learn, apprentice and ascend to a higher role in leadership.

@@hellomsmckay There's a worn down part of Pillar 33 that I could swear was from hands touching it to explain something repeatedly over time. And other pillars show chips off like people were sitting there talking...

You crazy, man. Since when do humans do ANYTHING for purely aesthetic reasons?

That have global links of exact carvings in Easter Island etc

They really liked the design?!​@@Rkd-_-b

Lol!!! I've always thought things like that...!!! Every stone circle in the Uk i've been to has happy mushrooms growing in them... Whilst a bit high in said field... I could well imagine my distant ancestors thinking, "Let's put these stones in a circle here...!!! Proper fuck with peoples head when they see it in many generations...!!!(???)"

Right. Because when they are going out of their way to create these giant megalithic structures that take years if not decades to make, they're just doing it for the sport of it and the carvings are just fun little doodles..... Please use some common sense.

Hunter-gatherers had no need for formal instruction...necessity, urgency, and survival were intuitive to them, and with no phones nor laptops for distraction, it's likely even the youngest in the "tribes" or families were in constant observation of skills to be learned from their elders.

Ever since mankind has evolved from hunter-gatherers to hunter-shopperers, ahem, mankind has sought levity...as you have just been exposed to !

Because they found evidence of Africans there the nufutarians

Not handbags

Who knows for sure. Maybe they’re bags of grain for making bread and beer. I’m not too big on the laptop computer hypothesis.

Or, sans a person holding them or carrying them or handing them off, just the same general structure or shape could have depicted a bridge.....with the wall into the water to dam it off and the arched portion (handle) being the bridge crossing for humans and animals. The H or I glyphs made more sense as fencing and gates....two posts, long post and that one area where its a gate that is closed so they can't pass Or, maybe those were bridges themselves?

@@rogerkulpnik In any case, it's beyond coincidental that we'd see the same iconography across the world.

Saw a relic recently that is laws engraved on copper plates held together with a handle. Also Ammon touched on a pine cone shaped heavy weapon on a staff. Maybe these guys brought the law and force to keep it followed ??

When all you have is a classroom, all problems seem to be theoretical lessons. 🤣

Because Hunter Gatherers weren't as dumb as you want them to have been.

They clearly could have, because.. THEY DID. 🤦‍♂️

Who was hunter-gathering for the hunter gatherers as they spent years moving and carving stones? It takes an organized civilization to move and carve stones - years and years of sweaty work, truckloads of food, places to sleep, refuge from bad weather and more, for many people including architects, heavy haulers, artists, hewers and carvers, cooks and everybody else needed for such a huge project. It makes no sense that hunter-gatherers created and then buried these monuments. They couldn't have had enough food to feed themselves while they worked.

​@@maryhuckaby2239 An organised civilisation just requires a division of labour. That is, one where, rather than everyone requiring a decent amount of survival skills to live, people could specialise into a single "job". These can be pretty broad definitions depending on the civilisation. Tool maker (wood carver, blacksmith, flint knapper... raider), builder (mason, carpenter, boat builder, skinner) and food bringer (hunter, fisherman, gatherer, farmer... raider). That being said, plenty of high latitude civilisations spent the winter surviving on food they collected over the previous year, and used the time to catch up on tasks they could do inside. So, people could have both an "on season" and "off season" job. Living together permanently is not a requirement. Regular contact/seasonal cohabitation is enough. Using farming as the primary source of sustenance is not a requirement, and small herb gardens could be handled by those in the group that had disabilities (which many shamans appear to have). Hunting and gathering is a pretty low cost lifestyle if you have a low enough population for the area you control. If you hunt best during the wet season, you can gather together in the nice cozy compound build by your many time great grandparents in the dry season, and use the free time to trade and finish up the repair of the enclosure that caved in 2 years earlier. I would argue most pre-industrial cultures relied heavily on the seaons, combined different types of food resources, or both. Your argument only holds water if you dont think that the ancient Egyptians and the inca (who primarily survived fishing because they didnt have much farmland), or the Turkic and Mongals (who were nomadic), don't count as civilisations.

I like the analysis given in the video. A lot of animal carvings and that may promote the hunter gatherer aspect of these people. At the other hand, if a lot of tools is found, used for grinding grass seeds, that may point to an agricultural aspect of this society. After all its possible that this was a pivotal moment between hunting and agricultural societies.

No ! It's EVIL !!!!!

got to keep the revenue stream going - and the bot comments.

That is exactly what a hypothesis is. Usually it is where the scientific method starts. That's fine.

nonsense comment. you obviously wouldn't know research if it bit you

An absurd under valuation of all the pieces. It is not the LOUVRE

I don't know that there are any examples of the weights Matt describes? It would be interesting to connect the theory with actual artifacts.

Thanks Lynn

But it's not the way all generations of hunter-gatherers actually learned the job: you learn by doing, preferably with a more experienced leader, an elder or veteran. This "textbook" interpretation makes no sense to me, although I like most of the rest. I'd rather think they were using their hunter-gatherer knowledge to represent something else, maybe seasons in an astronomical-ritual context (??)

@@LuisAldamiz Yeah the teaching thing is nonsense. Who really thinks the kids would need a carving on a rock to show them where the wetlands are?

Only 5% has been excavated. The government has an open unlimited funding for discovery. The site as well as several other ancient sites are owned by a guy and his cronies at wef.

Gotta love a series! 🎉

Enjoy!

Religious archive similar to what the Catholic monasteries of the Dark Ages in Europe. They started out as beacons of learning to preserve the knowledge of the day despite great calamity.

It’s actively being suppressed the antiquity departments are compromised by bigger forces as crazy as that sounds
