GÖBEKLI TEPE: THE TEMPLE THAT REWRITES HUMAN HISTORY
from History Mystery · host History Mystery
Episode 5 | History's Mysteries — Unexplained Structures & PlacesIn this Mystery episode we focus on Göbekli Tepe — a temple complex 11,600 years old, six thousand years older than Stonehenge, seven thousand years before the first known city, built by hunter-gatherers who according to the standard model of civilization weren't supposed to be capable of building anything like it.This episode covers the 1994 discovery, the massive T-shaped limestone pillars weighing up to ten tons, the extraordinary animal carvings, and the argument that changes everything — that shared religious purpose may have produced civilization, not the other way around.Less than ten percent of the site has been excavated. What it has already told us is enough.#HistoryMystery #GobekliTepe #AncientHistory #Archaeology #MysteryPodcast
