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.

People have always lived near deltas where rivers meet the sea (trying to kill the planet by driving SUVs and overfishing mother ocean /sarc).
My first impression was that they were early Hillary supporters...
A Ha!!!
LOL
Ouch
“No, aborigines didnt find a way to go to what is now Turkey.”
I think the more likely hypothesis (if there was some link) would be that aborigines are descended from people who at some point lived in the middle east before they migrated.
Possibly...
The runes are more interesting than the story you pinged me to, SC.
I figure the pillar is probably indicative of something left behind by early nomads ~~ you know? when the earth was still half land and half water? before it split up?
Yah. Like that.
;o]
Thanks for the ping!
Maybe that was her collapsing problem on 9-11. She is a 12,000 year old Turkish deity and survives on the blood of virgins.
You’re good!
So...Starbucks IS pagan!
Cheap Chanel knock offs.
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.
Nah.
The earth was one landmass before the Flood.
Agreed, something really bad happened during the younger dryas that destroyed early civilizations. Not just the sea level rise from the end of the ice, on a human scale that was slow and would just force a people to move.
Didn’t everyone speak the same language at one time, too?
“There is no new thing under sun”
Basically what we see has already be in olden times
I think that antedeluvian society was pretty widespread myself.
A little closer in time, I would like to know who mines all the copper around the Michigan upper peninsula beginning around 7500bc. It didn’t stay in North America.
Not only pagan but cultural appropriators.
“and even the Mississippi Indians of pre-Columbus Illinois, simply dream the same dreams and envision the same structures? “
Most assuredly, yes...and gravity,laws of mathematics rule everywhere on earth...Hence,no matter where, peoples “discovered” them and built things that ‘followed’ the rules.
Experiencing similar events, all over the earth, promoted,all over the earth, similar responses from all the folks. Hence pyramids everywhere.(but no inverted ones,gravity you know)
