From what I know it challenges when humans became city builders and stopped being nomadic so also means all those things required to support cities were also being done earlier than believed. But given the names in this thread I am probably way off and they are referring to some /x/ thing.

Only the newest layer of GT has been opened and dated, Schmidt himself said that it wouldn't surprise him if the oldest structures would be more ike 28.000 years old. Meanwhile modern archeology claims that humans basically live in caves at this point in time, despite current findings showing that our body an brain has been modern for over 300.000 years. But officially we only started getting civilized for some 9000 years all of the sudden. Native myths and folklore tell anoher story, as do many findings like the egyptian labyrinth will as well has been pre-dated at over 26000 years, before egypt literally forbad the international researching team from a normie university to publish the findings or closed of the area. Hoping that it will gt destroyed by rising saltwater levels.

Those are all facts an nothing of it is /X/ related.

The official mantra is that nomadic people ouldn't built shit like that because hat would take away too much time which nomadic people need to secure food. For such structures officially people need higher societies and specialization as to allow a certain amount of people to get autistic with stones without starving their families to death.

Who excavated and described Göbekli Tepe? Oh right an archaeologist.

>> No.19974509

>>19974373
Traditional models of civilisational development used to assume that monumental architecture implies some sort of centralised political authority to coordinate labour and resources. Gobekli Tepe was built by hunter-gatherer bands, or at best by incipient agriculturalists; and so suggests that people were organising labour for shared ritual purposes long before the development of any kind of state structure.

Well, first of you eveer want to dig everything out at once, as science progresses our methods become less destructive and the information we can get out of it more rich in details. Once we dig it out, everything in that earth covering it will be gone.

And in this case, well, funding and the obvious and international unwillingness to rewrite history. ame stuff happens in egypt an other sites which seem to fuck up the timline.

Last but not least religion and ieology plays a role as well. Neer findings might fuck up the interpretations and the powers that be aren't interested in that.

Personally, it might be for the best before they end up like the winged bulls.

Yes, and Klaus Schmidt himself said that. Sadly h passed before concluing his work, but his book on GT is very informative. Btw Hancock and Schmity were BBFs in that regard. Might surprise some professional academia-workshippers.

its one of the halmark books studying mesopotamian religion, going over the subtle changes from the fourth millenium up to the first millenium BCE,
its analysing a lot of actual poetry, rites and myths from that time and explaining the evolution in its conceptions of the divine.
i really like how he doesnt just treat these documents as archeological evidence, but analyses them fully, as you would actual poetry and art.
its very beautiful, profound, and gives some good insights into the origins of religion in general.
