What’s this “Turkiye” crap. It’s Turkey!
Do we call Germany “Deutschland” or Spain “Espana” or Italy “Italia” or Sweden “Sverige”...?
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water, and in the water,
6 Whereby the world that then was, being ouerflowed with water, perished.
Genesis 1:2
Cool beans!

California, Oregon, and Washington state have often been referred to as "The Left Coast", which is much more apropos. I don't worry about that either.
It’s super exciting, and since they’ve only started digging in about 5% of the area, there’ll be a ton of awesome finds over the next 50 years.

No, he doesn’t.
And no sign of flood at the sites, so, no.
I’m glad one of the described sites is getting excav’d by some Japanese, not the tourist-center-building, bring-up-the-bulldozers Turks.
Yes, the authorities are “reconstructing” the site and burying areas where there may be important artifacts.
Looks to me like 2 different peoples used the sites - those that built with large stones/slabs, and those who built with the much cruder small stones of the enclosures, who also used old worn out statues from the slab builders for building material - a common practice later on.
The open mouthed head is reminiscent of 19th-early 20th century fairs that had painted statuary clowns with similar open mouths - toss a ball at it, and if you get it in the mouth, you get a prize.

Another common practice in the ME and Egypt. Want to know where some important site lies buried, just look at were spoils from a current dig are dumped. Reason: local help gets paid to remove the site over burdens and then again to remove it from the site buried under the spoils. This is especially prevalent in Egypt - where the practice may have been invented.
More questions than answers, as is to be expected with such ancient artifacts.
Good stuff!
I watched the whole thing, which is amazing.
I enjoyed the rambling, impromptu presentation so much that the accent didn’t bug me.
