[quote:Anonymous Coward 1185535:MV8xNTE5MjI4XzI1MDYwNjEyX0Y2Njg2RTE3] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1416751] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1185535] Keep digging on this one. No human bones at the site. No human tools. Depictions of humans decapitated. A "theme" of aggressive animals. The nearby human settlement had what can be described as pits for humans to be kept and slaughtered, babies found in jars, and evidence of roasting people in bronze pans. Then, whoever built and ran this site, intentionally buried it with tonnes of sand. Keeping it a secret. Who were they and what were they doing? Were they the "gods" to the local humans? And did they eat people? [/quote] dont forcibly jack up fucked up conspiracy theories. read and learn first http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe it was abandoned/buried, and revisited over and over over a course of thousands of years starting 9500 bc. it is probable that there were gatherings there before 9500 bc too. that age was an age at which all mankind was migratory. only permanent societies were ones who lived near always readily available sources of food. apparently you are not able to fathom what 'BEFORE domestication of wheat' means. back then people had to migrate to eat food in winter/summer. you couldnt stay in one place for long. and during migrations, best way to hide something is to bury it, if you know its place to uncover it later. [/quote] 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]

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.
