Left: An Australian churinga stone. Right: A closeup of the central pillar in Göbekli Tepes Enclosure D with a similar symbol. The pillar depicts a deity, showing this symbol is similarly sacred in the cultures that created both objects.

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.

It’s not the same. Not the same. See the differences? not the same. No, aliens didn’t come down and scratch the symbols in two different places. No, aborigines didn’t find a way to go to what is now Turkey.

OMG!!! Different human beings far from each other cannot possibly find themselves using symbols that resemble each other, all on their own and with absolutely no cultural connection, can they? YES, they ABSOLUTELY can.
There is something very HUMAN about how different groups of human beings find an affinity with similar symbols. It is not all “cross-cultural” but something common to the inner human.

And Egyptians taught Mayans how to build pyramids which they learned from space aliens.

Lots of symbols are common.
Makes sense when you think about it. The “mother culture” of all mankind started somewhere, and I doubt it was Australia.

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.
