Göbekli Tepe: The Place That Rewrote History 

I read a comment on this channel not to long ago reading something along the lines of "The only dissapointing thing about this channel is that there is not enough content to binge" and I started thinking about this while sitting here like a little child with giddy excitement 45 hours before the video is even released. It is so true and there are not a lot of channels which make me feel like this and I really appreciate the content you put out. A lot of youtube can feel like a waste of time, yet I have never regretted clicking on one of your videos. Keep up the good work!

Can I just say how cool it is that a year or two ago this man was saying 'but we don't have the budget to go visit X place' and now he's making indie archaeology documentaries. Love to see it man, congratulations.

Wholesome archeology devoid of aliens, atlantis, and ghosts. Thank you for being you.

I may have created a new myth about that tree. One day, my friends and I were there. It was really hot and we were exhausted. We decided to sit beneath the tree. I was bored, I just randomly threw a rock through a hole on the tree's trunk and my buddy joined in. It quickly turned into a challenge. All of sudden a woman from another group asked us what we were doing. As the troll I am I responded: You make a wish and throw a rock through that hole. If it passes your wish happens. I didn't take it seriously but after an hour when we circled back to the tree we saw a lot of people trying to trick god, universe or whatever to grant them wishes. 5 years later another friend was telling us about his trip to göbekli tepe and he told us there was a tree that granted you wishes if you threw a rock though it 😂😂😂

My dad pointed me towards Hancock's Netflix series and I sent him your response. to my surprise he watched your entire series and then he sent me this video as soon as you released it. Archaeology is fascinating and you are such a great advocate for it, your content is easily approachable but incredibly informative and your enthusiasm is infectious. So basically what I'm asking is... When's your Netflix special coming?

I've read about Gobekli Tepe several times but had never heard about the local people's history of ritual at the site. Thanks for including it.

Does Milo eat the stones in this or in a later video

Thank you. As a 35 year old man obsessed with intaking massive amount of random information, your videos are incredibly well done. Concise, digestible, entertaining, funny. Literally couldn’t be doing anything better. Genuinely incredible channel man. You are in a tiny elite group of incredible educational youtubers. I deeply appreciate you and wish you all the best in life.

The ancient people who built these sites left behind an enchanting, though sadly incomplete, depiction of what life in their time and place was like. And once again, Milo, you've illuminated this tapestry of ancient culture with enthusiasm, curiosity and humility. Thank you for the hard work you do!

Only 4 minutes in. I love how much you love your chosen field. The fact that you can look at what most people see as "a pile of rocks" and be speechless shows the genuine passion for what you are doing.

Almost cried when I saw the awe with which you reacted to seeing the site for the first time because it's really so unfathomnable to think that this site is 12.000 years old and here we are and get to experience it. Thank you, Milo, for making this possible for us as well.

Really happy to see you filming on the ground in person.

I just wanted to comment. People should appreciate just how damn GOOD this is. It's not overly dumbed down, it's doesn't gloss over uncomfortable moments (nod to the fascists) and it's done from a position of respect and curiosity. I'm old(er) now, and this is easily the best and most accessible archeology in media I've seen since Time Team. (I also really like how fast Milo talks. He's trying to get across a LOT of info, I'm here to absorb it, and we both want to do that fast.)

As someone who had to drop out of college due to the cost / crippling depression making it impossible to study, and who now works as a humble train mechanic, I just wanted to give a big thank you for your content.

I am so happy that people are exploring Turkey and sharing it. I lived there from 1998-2002 and I was obsessed with all things ancient. At the time my local professor didn't even know that Chatal Hoyuk was being excavated after the Mallard debacle! We went to Chatal Hoyuk for a visit and it was not much more than a tent and small museum (in the middle of winter). We knew in our hearts there was so much more. I would love to go back and visit :-)

If you would like an insight into how our hunter-gatherer ancestors thought, Australian aboriginals are an amazing insight into a 50,000+ year old culture.

Many people have lauded Milo's sheer enthusiasm for this place. I agree and applaud the team's work to produce this docu-series installment.

Milo, as a fellow person with ADHD whose passion has been dimmed, I cannot tell you just how cool it is that you are so so passionate about this topic. we need more people like you in the world, whose passions and curiosities have not been dimmed by others

I've never really had much interest in archeology but Milo's enthusiasm and passion for it has really swept me up. It's fascinating to learn even a little about how these past cultures lived and sites like this would have been built.

Hands down the best video I’ve seen from Milo, thank goodness for Patreon. I love how happy and excited you are about the site and the information. It is so refreshing to see someone else my age getting so excited over history. I can’t wait to see what you have to say about Karahan Tepe!
