There’s a new book out, The Worldwide Flood: Uncovering and Correcting the Most Profound Error in the History of Science, that mentions Gobekli Tepe as well as other civilizations that were lost to the flood.
I suggest that you get the book - it makes clear that geology is responsible for misunderstanding our past. Book is available at Amazon.
Looked at the Book Blurb on Amazon. However, I have no idea what geology has to do with History here. His case is weak that geology is the cause. It apparently regurgitates well known physical findings on submerged coastlines and so on. But has nothing that is not better presented elsewhere.
There still is no real proof that there was a worldwide flood, but, given the time frame and the amount of Ice and the rapid melting, there is no doubt that there was a flood, but the ultimate cause is more concerning than the event itself - but actually proof is not there yet - beliefs yes, theories yes, facts no. The Bible says it was rain. But that is just a local observation. What caused the rain is more important and could that cause be repeated again? More and more evidence points to a double comet strike. each separated by 1000 years.
Most all current views of the past are based on some one’s reputation, career, and income. None of these ‘learned scholars’ and ‘scientists’ want their ox gored, so the status quo remains the objective they fight for while denying obvious contradictions. This is why there are so many gaps in our collective History, why civilizations like the Sumerians can rise full blown out of nowhere and are just accepted as given; real questions are not asked, and indeed, forbidden.
This model demands that discoveries like Gobekli Tepe be overlooked or given short shift. Gobekli Tepe, BTW, is the result of some other undiscovered civilization, not the civilization itself. We have so many misconceptions about ancient civilizations (books are written detailing these points, but have little following). For instance: Galileo’s use of lenses was not an amazing new discovery but a rediscovery of old tech - museums have ancient lens consigned to musty display cases as jewelry; in the surviving literature there is mention of seeing long distances through tubes; eye glass frames are commonly found, and so on. Old Kingdom Egypt dating is based on known fake lists, but used anyway.
Blaming geology is a cop out. People are responsible for misunderstanding our past.
