Australian Aboriginal symbols found on mysterious 12,000-year-old pillar in Turkey...

From about 14,500 to 11,500 years ago, a period known as the Younger Dryas, the world experienced dramatic climate shifts. The shift at the end of the Younger Dryas was particularly abrupt, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Archaeologists have agreed that Göbekli Tepe is at least 12,000 years old, placing it within this period.

The site was rapidly buried about 1,000 years after its creation. Whether this was done intentionally by people or by nature is a matter of debate. Some have theorized that the society wanted to protect the monuments from the cataclysm.

Fenton has found what he says are clearly Aboriginal churinga stones, sacred objects, at Göbekli Tepe.

On another pillar, Fenton has identified a symbol usually reserved for the most sacred artifacts of the Australian Aboriginal culture, churinga stones. He has also found what he believes are churinga stones at other 12,000-year-old sites in Turkey thought to be connected to the Göbekli Tepe culture. They display the concentric circles characteristically used by Aboriginals to depict watering holes, and the zig-zag lines used to depict water ways.

“Many of the animal symbols on the stones relate to Aboriginal clan totems,” Fenton said via email. He has also noticed similarities between the only female figure depicted at Göbekli Tepe and the Aboriginal depictions of Yingarna, the creator.

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.

The symbol on the right, IMO, seems to be sufficient evidence that these ancient people knew and used html...

Thanks BenLurkin! Nice find!

In her Plato Prehistorian: 10,000 to 5000 B.C. Myth, Religion, Archaeology, Mary Settegast reproduces a table which shows four runic character sets; a is Upper Paleolithic (found among the cave paintings), b is Indus Valley script, c is Greek (western branch), and d is the Scandinavian runic alphabet.

Since they didn’t have spray-paint, its just graffiti

“CLOLD” was a very popular name back then.

They made a documentary in 1994 about the people that built this shrine.

Left cheek, right check, with an A-O between them. Makes sense to me.
