Probably just a coincidence (?)

We cannot tolerate this cultural appropriation.

The churinga stone looks like a butt. I can’t be the only one that sees this.

So, have the Aborigines have fallen from the heights they once were to what we see now?

Pretty interesting if they did and once built Gobekli Tepe.

It’s not the same. Not the same. See the differences? not the same. No, aliens didn’t come down and scratch the symbols in two different places. No, aborigines didn’t find a way to go to what is now Turkey.

OMG!!! Different human beings far from each other cannot possibly find themselves using symbols that resemble each other, all on their own and with absolutely no cultural connection, can they? YES, they ABSOLUTELY can.

There is something very HUMAN about how different groups of human beings find an affinity with similar symbols. It is not all “cross-cultural” but something common to the inner human.

And Egyptians taught Mayans how to build pyramids which they learned from space aliens.

Tell me another one.

Looks like millennia post collapse depictions of a water molecule and hydrogen atom.

[redgolum]

Lots of symbols are common.

Makes sense when you think about it. The “mother culture” of all mankind started somewhere, and I doubt it was Australia.

My first impression was that they were early Hillary supporters...

The thing I’ve always found Most Fascinating about the stone monuments at Gobekli Tepe was the fact that they were carved in what I guess I would call reverse relief where the background was chiseled away and the Figures were left to stand out what a hard and difficult way of stone work.

[blam]

Nah.
