Human History & Göbekli Tepe, Şerif Yenen - 1 

I actually wanted to comment and say that even though I have watched hundreds of hours on Turkey, this is standout the best presentation on Turkey I have EVER EVER seen, better than any historian I have seen. Better in terms of the general explanation of different periods, better in explanation of the artefacts and sites and just hands down excellent. Thank you so much for doing this.

Wow, very impressive. You are a travel writer/guide? Very surprising! This presentation is actually better, more professionally produced, more informative, and better structured than most university level discussions on PPNA and PPNB that we see on RU-vid. You should be very proud of yourself for this!

Dear Sir, you deserve a Netflix documentary or series at history channel, because this is a great document and a very pleasant experienc! You are better than most of the professors I had in my years at University! Excellent explanation! Congratulations and greetings from Portugal

This is by far the best documentation and explanation of the whole area, the timeline, and the astounding discoveries there. I am so glad I found this. Kudos to Mr. Yenen. You are fantastic, a great teacher and so knowledgeable. Thank you. Now I have to watch Part 2. Also thank you for not having music in the background. That I find to be very distracting, and was so happy just to hear you speak.

This is just lovely!!! My father was a avid reader of etnology and this really reminded me of him. May peace be upon you.

Just found out about Karahan Tepe, seems the entire Area is flooded with undiscovered territories. Fascinating Stuff!

Wow. Just fantastic. Your orientation laid a great foundation for the follow-on presentation. Thanks for paying so much attention to detail.

Thank you so much for your fascinating program. I look forward to watching the next part. If I had had history teachers like you, I would have learned much more than I did. For a time, when I was in my teens, I wanted to be an archaeologist. Though I never pursued it, my interest in the field remains strong. Again, thank you for your presentation.

I have a degree in history and therefore enjoyed the historical and geographical knowledge conveyed. My education continues. Thank you Serif.

One of the BEST presentations on the history of humans and the understanding of ancient time periods I have ever seen. Bravo. This was first of your videos but I am looking forward to watching them all. ❤️

this is the best account of the history, geography of the lives of our earliest ancestors... congratulations on this masterly lecture

Thank you for you time & effort. You are, by far, the best teacher I have ever heard speak.!!!!

Greetings from your trans Black Sea neighbor, Ukraine. Occasionally,I have found your channel, so the time of quarantine has expanded mutual contacts. Very thanks for informative lecture. Great, there is no coincidence. It means thousands years local people keep tradition. Very nice.

It is a pitty that I do not speak “turco” . Gobekli Tepe is very very very important becouse is the “begining” of our history.... bendiciones from México 🇲🇽! Thanks!

Excellent! 👌 What a good piece of information from the narrator! Nowhere in many years did i get such an extensive amount of knowledge than from this turkish man. Thank you so much-it seems to have been another cradle of civilization - a very important area of our planet 🌍 where the history of mankind seemed to evolve for a new age period in history. I guess Klaus Schmidt just scratched the surface and there will be found quite more in future days to come. When i saw the images of the newer museum with the walls and the standing stones it directly hit me that there are similarlyties to the sites of Akapana,Kalasasaya and Tiahuanaco. A man with a RU-vid channel called Mario Buildreps has made some fantastic conclusions on a mathematical basis that could revolutionize the whole world of archeology and the age determination of ancient sites! Anyone who is interested in this field should definitely go to his channel and work through his whole lot of information Mario is now sharing with the world! 👍

this is the best presentation about gobleki tepe by far on youtube

This is an extraordinarily lucid documentary. It’s superior in its articulation and logical unfolding than most programs that I have seen in my forty-odd years of watching documentaries. You are an unusually gifted presenter. Thank you for making these videos.

Fascinating to hear the backround story behind Göbekli Tepe.

Im only into 7 minutes and I am sold on this guy!

Thank you sir 🙏🙏 I've been to Gobeklitepe twice. I enjoyed your presentation, very much appreciated 💖

Merhaba aus Berlin! 😊 Thank you for this very interesting and informative video! If I had had you as a teacher when I was in school, my grades would have been so much better! I watched this of course because it is a subject I was already interested in, but you really made an amazing documentary/lesson in this video! Fantastic!!! ... Have a safe, healthy and happy 2023!

Sheriff, you're amazing. Your explanations are amazing.

brilliant story, i love the detailed approach and the discovery story ...

Hey Serif, thank you for all of the effort you have put into this presentation. I am fascinated and entertained... Now for part 2...

Very interesting. Thank you Şerif. Best wishes to you and your family. Stay safe

Thank you for all of your hard work putting this together! Very impressive & I enjoyed it thoroughly! Great job!

Really interesting. Looking forward to part 2. Thanks Serif

This man is absolutely fantastic! THANK YOU!

Subscribed - I like this so much better than broadcast productions that have to hook your attention around commercial breaks. This is straightforward, linear, and provides deep context without repetition. Love it.

Very good presentation. Thank you for the effort and am looking forward to part 2.

If they had "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" on repeat, their party entailed a little more than drinking and dancing. 🤣

Thank you so much, Sherif! Fascinating stuff and I appreciate the scope of information you've covered.

I was in Pirinclik for a year back in the early 80s, about 40 minute drive from Diyarbakir. Had been to Urfa a few times. I only wish I had been there a decade later to visit Dr. Schmidt (RIP) in Urfa (Sanliurfa). I did get to visit archaeological sites all over the country. I was 23. That's where I found my passion for cultural anthropology as well as archaeology. Thank you for your in-depth teaching. I loved Turkey!

Thank you for continuing to record and show the new Mirazan sites (the original, local Kurdish name for the recent official gov name). Mirazan ("miracle maker"). the local, childless women give offerings at the hill, hoping for a child. The fertility myth of the hills, still lingers. Mirazan is the meaningful, local name for this entire super old civilization/culture. A lot better than the silly name of Gobekli ("potbelly")-- given to it by the ruling government there . I hope you continue showing us more and more of the Mirazan sites as they get dug up

Congrats from Portugal, you have a magnificent country.

I am loving this. Thanks.

Chok Tesheykurler. How nicely you are presenting valuable information about a country I have come to love. You are more than a guide, you are a iyi öğretmen too.

Very informative, and elegantly presented. You, sir, have a very engaging style. I watched both of your seminars back to back (~2 hours in total) without taking a break or getting tired. Awesome!!! Thank you.

Approached with trepidation left with respects and admiration ,,I always listen to people who’s life is their hobby rather then their job been their money 💰,,,,,can’t wait for more ,,,excellent presentation

Thank you very much for this good work and generous gift. God bless you amen

Such a nice and warm welcome you made on this clip, I'm going to listen you until the end.

Wonderful presentation. Thank you for this Mr. Yenen.

My whole mindset was expanded greatly when I learned about the Göbekli Tepe dig. Thank you so much for this thorough guide through the archaeology, anthropology and geology of this area 🙏

Thank you for this extraordinary presentation! This has been incredibly helpful to my understanding of Anatolia and human history in this area.

This was very impressive. I was able to learn more from the 2 parts of this presentation than I learnt over the last twelve months watching numerous you tube videos. The geography lesson was really useful.

Thank you for putting the RU-vid in English.

excellent program, Mr Yenen. If i ever go back to Turkey, i gotta visit Gobekli Tepe

Good to see you Serif; excellent session!

Very good presentation. I came for Gobleki Tepe, but I was happy to learn all the deep human history going back to homo erectus

Şerif-bey. Sadece 11 dakika izledim ama sunumunuzu çok beğeniyorum. Harika! Teşekkürler :)

Great walk through! Looking forward to the follow-up:-)

Very clear explaned! Very interresting too, so Thank you Serif! 🙏🏼❤️😉 The Universe wanted people, to discover our ancient history, guided and Explained by You😉 regards from The Netherlands 😄

çok güzel hazırlanmışsınız, sunumunuz akıcı. beğenerek izledim

very interesting. a wonderful presentation.

Dear fine sir please please do more shows in English I just love your shows they seem to be just what I need to learn when I learn it or or maybe it's just that I could listen to you talk about breakfast and I think it would be interesting once again thank you so much

Serif, greetings from Kansas City, Mo 🇺🇸. I watch your very interesting videos in RU-vid, thanks!

Thank you SO much. Excellent. So interesting. Explained very clearly. I visited Catalhoyuk while I was living in Kas about Six years ago. It was wonderful. I planned to visit Gobeklitepe last year but of course I have delayed. I now live in Glasgow, Scotland. Another delightful country, my home. Turkey is the most fascinating country and Istanbul is Fabulous! Everyone....GO!

Amazing presentation, thankyou!

An enjoyable and educational presentation. Good work this. I'll be watching your other presentations in English.

NASA just discovered that 42'000 years ago there was a massive disaster that caused a polar shift. Very interesting that some information lines up with this new information. Very informative and thank you for informing us. I believe there's more to our history that we have absolutely no idea about. Time will tell as new evidence comes to light.

Fantastic presentation, thank you Serif!

Great stuff! You have a very good “presenter” voice I visited Turkey 2 years ago. I didn’t encounter your RU-vid videos then, unfortunately. Would have loved to have taken a tour with you.

Mümkemmel bir anlatım Şerif hocam üniversitede hayatımı kabusa çeviren tarih derslerini keşke sizden alsaydım

Hi Serif, today I’m watching again your very interesting video, I really enjoy your conference! Clara 🇺🇸

Very good presentation.

Brilliant narration!

I very much liked this video.. good in detail information. Thank you ;)

Excellent work!

Excellent, thanks.

Very informative! Thank you!

Some updated info: most probably Neanderthals were painting the caves, as the date of dissapearance is later than it is said. For the rest, I congratulate you for this video, very didactical and well thought.

Really very nice explanations in terms of Anatolia and human history. I would like to visit the Gobeklı Tepe on my first vacation to Turkey .Thanks.... Ş.Yenen

Great presentation!

According to the Mayan the Earth was destroyed 4 times one was by fire so I assume that might have been a solar flare and people would have survived by Going Underground. One was by a asteroid that hit a large ice cap near the Great Lakes that caused a very rapid flooding and if people survived by building large ships. To me those round circles in Gobekli Tepe would have been used as Corrales for the animals either before or after the great flood. As to why it was buried I believe that for the most part nature might have done this

Thank you so much for making this wonderful video. I immigrated to Turkey in 1990 and have traveled to many of the places you have mentioned. I now live in Kahramanmaraş and have a great interest in the history of this region. It's impossible to find anything in English to further my knowledge, so for me this video is a treasure. If you give tours of southeastern Anatolia I would be interested in joining. Subscribed!

Excellent lecture.

THANK YOU ....

This is very informative!

Wonderful content. Well presented.

Very well done.

YOU'RE SO COOL THANKS FOR YOUR WORK!

Very interesting and much to learn

Why are they hiding the tops of the t pillars"? I saw photos of the tops years ago and did a story on the Holes that are drilled in the top grouped at one circle all the same holes drilled into the top of several different pillars but they didn't have a roof the pattern of the holes reminds me of a star map :.::.: kind of like these dots" but no word has Surfaced regarding it as a point of study.

Wonderful video Thank you I visited urfa man today at muze No foreign tourist Just me :-)

Judging by the carvings and pillar shapes in Gőbekli Tepe, it might have been a place where human sacrifice took place and they might have beheaded the victims of sacrifice. People believed weird stuff. We, as a species, should be wary of what we believe since we seem to be susceptible to believing morbid falsehoods.

Hi Serif. Thank you so much!! My sincere apologies in advance for the length of this message. I have something amazing to contribute and amazing takes a better effort! You will be pleased to know the Vulture Stone, Pillar 43 is an accurate and detailed map of the Levant, the Cradle of Civilization. It is a giant map of their country approx 200mi x 600mi from the mountains of the Dead Sea (the Dog at the bottom), up the Jordan River (the Snake which wraps around the mountains of Amman) to the Golan Heights (the Vulture…there is an impact crater or old volcano directly above the wing that is the Circle) to the Beqaa Valley (square Belt) to the Mediterranean (the 3 Giant Waves tossing man and beast depicting The Flood, or waves of a tsunami crashing down the coast of the Mediterranean, mountains of Cyprus in the distance chiseled at the top ), to the Euphrates River on the right (Big Bird with long legs like the Euphrates), to Harran and the Tepe’s (square tail of the Fish), to the Karaca Dag mountains of Turkey. Bonus!: The mountains to the right of the Golan Heights shaped like a scorpion is The Scorpion! Everything is oriented correctly. You can still see all of it on Google maps right now because we still navigate around those earthly mountain/water structures today. I recently made a few short videos using split screen to compare everything to Google maps and even drew every animal/shape (my apologies that it took to the 4th video to complete the drawings. I am not an artist just wanted to get this discovery out immediately). There is no astrology, astronomy, religion or aliens involved. It’s just a good old fashioned physical map of the individual States or settlement areas of their country because those areas actually resemble animals. Like Snake River or Potbelly Hill!!! Once you see it you can’t unsee it. Besides, a good map should be easy to explain, right? Göbekli Tepe is a school. Pillar 43 is the map in the classroom. The carved animals all around were there to teach a common language and other important things. They spread this knowledge to the far reaches of the country…approximately 120,000 square miles. That’s the size of England or Italy, Absolutely amazing. I thank you in advance if you watch videos. They are short and to the point. To be clear, I am just a man who has read many folded maps in his day and recently recognized the pillar for what it is. A map. 1000%. Please be proud of me! 😁

Thanks brother for the info

Awesome, blessings from Australia

Beginning video thank you, Serif. Of course am seeking the symbolic to math, the technology room. Interesting, the site is buried. Power mechanics to gravity is interesting. Pi to infinity. Ice core charts. The Circle to frame.

Göbekli Tepe Turks Center In Göbekli Tepe, the Turks have Kün-Ay and EB drums, there are 8 of the 12-animal calendars on the T-shaped obelisks, there are countless Turkish traces, especially the Khakasia Turks and Scythian Huns and Turkmens. The Turks made the Stonehenge and the Ring of Brodgar, which are arranged like Göbekli Tepe, as evidence of the Futhark Orkhun inscriptions around them.

This is fascinating. I wonder if the father who brought the first stones to the museum was appreciated?

excellent video brother,love from pakistan

Farming was most likely discovered by accident by noticing wheat and other plants growing from discarded refuse.

32:00 The Fertile Crescent being so bountiful meant that Hunter Gatherer's didn't have to move so continuously as in their past and could settle for a longer while. An intermediary period between 'Hunter Gathering' and 'Agriculture' ... a 'Learning Period' :-)

7:38 you cannot have both Noah's Ark and volcanoes. All volcanoes date from The Flood 4,350 years ago.

Good presentation but, wouldn't it be difficult even impossible for hunter gatherers to organize and construct such vast and difficult effort like Göbekli Tepe, especially since you also state in your presentation that life was harsh and food scarce for them (which I agree with btw) ? I have my doubt that only hunter gatherers build these.

Yeayyyy 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟

Technical suggestion...screenshare your slides and minimize your livecam to a window in the corner.

Thanks you so much, mister, I am a spanish subscriber. Good luck !
