[quote:Anonymous Coward 1416751:MV8xNTE5MjI4XzI1MDYwNjkyXzNFQjFFNDFG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1185535] I've read more on this than you know and have gone beyond getting my info from Wiki. But you can believe that people with stone axes wearing animal skins built this all by themselves for religious purposes if you like, just like the Nazca lines are nothing more than labyrinths made for meditative purposes and the purpose of pyramids was simply to bury the dead. ;) [/quote] you didnt read more than this than me, moron. i LIVE in this country, and i have HAD saw/read/learned/visited much more than what you can read from fucking web. yes, people with stone axes wearing animal skins built ALL these. they built a lot of other stuff too. not everything you see is an ancient lost civilization/conspiracy. yes, neolithic cultures were advanced enough to carve fucking stones into T shapes to portray humans. it is as much art as they could, and you will see the same kind of artistic capacity in the carvings of milo venuses etc from the same neolithic periods. i know that because these seem like distant, mystic stuff to most of you living overseas, and hence kicks up your imagination. but when you actually visit the places which these were found, the caves, structures, clay houses etc, and see such stuff in places where they were in ACTUAL use (ie in small stands/altars in clay houses), and see the shit of the people living there 6000 years ago by the same place, frozen in time for eternity, you know that these were not overarching lost civilizations or conspiracies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%87atalh%C3%B6y%C3%BCk [/quote]

Circles of elaborately carved stones from about 9,500BC predate even agriculture
As a child, Klaus Schmidt used to grub around in caves in his native Germany in the hope of finding prehistoric paintings. Thirty years later, a member of the German Archaeological Institute, he found something infinitely more important: a temple complex almost twice as old as anything comparable on the planet.
"This place is a supernova," said Schmidt, standing under a lone tree on a windswept hilltop 35 miles north of Turkey's border with Syria. "Within a minute of first seeing it I knew I had two choices: go away and tell nobody, or spend the rest of my life working here.
