The rock blocks you see in the photo, weighing several tons and reaching a height of about 7 meters, are at least 11,000 years old, according to C14 radiocarbon analysis. These are some of the many pillars that make up Göbekli Tepe in #Turkey, on the border with #Syria. The civilization that built this site and other similar sites still has no name. In fact, their existence was completely unknown until recently.
Still, we know a few things about them. Since all the seeds in #GöbekliTepe were wild and unprocessed, they were not farming. They were also not farmers, because a lot of the leftover meat found (they apparently held large feasts) was from game, not farm animals. Additionally, the stylized statues in the middle of the stone circles carry belts. This means that the weather did not need to be cold when Göbekli Tepe was built. All these elements indicate that the main site is probably much older than it appears. Maybe even a few thousand years older.
This is not a funeral site, as no bodies were found inside. It’s not a sanctuary either, for no god or deity is represented there. It does not appear to be a city or a village, as there does not seem to be a proper water source to quench the thirst of a large group of people. What’s this all about then? On the walls of Göbekli Tepe are engraved hundreds of “”#snakes”” descending from above, from the sky.
Celestial beings appear, where do these “”snakes”” come from. According to astronomers, about 12,000 years ago, a swarm of asteroids or comets heavily bombarded the Earth, destroying entire territories on four continents. This was quite a disaster. Göbekli Tepe is probably a “”memorial”” from the time when “”fire snakes,”” i.e. fragments of comets falling from above, destroyed the world.
But if Göbekli Tepe is a memorial to the cataclysm that struck us some 12,800 years ago, where are the cities of the builders? What were their customs? And especially where did they come from?
