The simplified version is here but at the same time exciting:
Forget Gobekli Tepe. The actual performance is in 2026 and it is called Karahan Tepe. It is altering all our understanding of early men.
Way older than Stonehenge
Stonehenge is 5,000 years old. Karahan Tepe? Over 11,000. At the time of its construction, woolly mammoths were still on this planet. It's a whole different era.
The first "selfie"
The pillars which were T-shaped had no faces, only arms and belts. One of them, dating to 2025, has a realistic human face. Huge eyes, powerful nose, hewn 11,000 years ago. It is as though people were looking out of the stone.
Humans, not animals
As compared to the animal carvings in Gobekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe centres on human beings. This Ribbed Man is 7 feet high with ribs, spine, and folded hands and is seated in a ritual pose. It also has a submerged hall that has 11 massive phallic pillars- a life and death stage.
Farming came later
The first humans we were taught were farmed. Wrong. These hunter-gatherers held giant rituals, and then embarked on farming to nourish their mobs.
So why not everybody is talking about it? Real digs only began in 2019. As individuals are giving Gobekli Tepe a lot of hype, Karahan Tepe is blowing a hole straight through history.
Moral of the story: Need to sound smart. Forget pyramids. Discussing Stone Hills of Turkey--Karahan Tepe.
Either you would like to have the newest photos of the statue of Ribbed Man--they are unbelievable.
