"Schmidt's German-Turkish team has also uncovered some 50 of the huge pillars, including two found in his most recent dig season that are not just the biggest yet, but, according to carbon dating, are the oldest monumental artworks in the world."

Probably part of a support platform used to support large crafts landing there.. An elaborate game set for a bored ancestor?
Cool.
For those that don’t know, the “Urantia book” is one of those writings that purports to be channeled or written by non-human entities. In other words, New Age drivel of unknown provenance.
Or perhaps they are not 12,000 years old. Perhaps the dating science is incorrect.
Urantia ordinary ping.
Very interesting site - and intentionally buried, so I’ve read. “Ancient Aliens” did a report on it - not sure about the alien part but the place is amazing. The guy with the wild hair was pretty excited.
I’d take Genesis 6 and The Book of Enoch over any “Urantia” type books any time. They provide also a very good explanation about the “superior” genetics.
The archaeologists assume that the same people who operated the site also buried it.
Not necessarily. It may be that (as frequently occurred among ancient peoples) the site was a place of idolatry, human sacrifice and so forth and another group, led perhaps by a man such as Enoch, came and chased the wicked people away and buried the site. Later on, the site sprang up again for similar use.
this is the most fascinating archeological mysteries in the world, IMO.
There are numerous theories for interstellar travel involving use of other dimensions.
The various string theories require extra dimensions we cannot sense above the “normal” four, with the most popular right now positing 11.
It is not utterly unreasonable to assume an advanced civilization could exit normal space in their star system and re-enter it in ours, without passing through the intervening normal space, in much shorter time or possibly even instantaneously.
Do we have a clue how to do this or even if it’s possible? Nope. But we also cannot say it is impossible.
I think Gobekli Tepe is the area where Noah gathered up his zoo. I figure the ark was built to float and hold together, not to sail or navigate in large bodies of water. That would require building the ark in and area that would make it likely the ark would rise, move a short distance, and resettle on land, not water. My thinking is that Noah’s Ark settled in the Ararat mountains on the Iranian border. ...Cedar trees, like the ones growing in Lebanon and Syria once grew in abundance near Gobekli Tepe, and I suspect they are what Noah called gopher wood, tall and straight with plentiful sap.
Whether or not Noah, or the building of the ark, had anything to do with Gobekli Tepe is another speculation altogether.
An interesting aside is a brief account of some of the flood’s survivors encountering remnants of nephilim writings and structures, and covering them up. I don’t think this was in the book of Enoch, but maybe Jasher or Jubilees. I’m too lazy to look it up.
I believe Einstein theorized about whether space and time can bend - which was evidently proven in 2007 by a satellite called Gravity Probe B launched by NASA. Maybe the UFO pilots have figured out how to do the bending and make traveling those distances possible.
Urantra nonsense aside, our hunter-gatherer ancestors were seemingly hard wired for religion. Any look at today’s hunter-gatherers would support such an assertion. Archaeologists and anthropologists consistently underestimate the intelligence of our ancestors.
Considering that cro-magnon had an average brain capacity of 1600cc vs. 14 for "modern" man, yes. There is no possibility that the average Justin Bieber fan could survive on their wits in a world plunged into an ice age due to a superabundance of green technology.
Stones. We shoulda just stacked up some dang stones.
Keep talking like that and they'll accuse you of claiming the earth is flat....
And consistently overestimate our own.
