    I've been to this site. It was amazing, especially the Lion Gate and the stairs up. And of course, the Hittite wall carvings are very nearby. But that Green Nephrite "altar" has to be the main attraction. I always have wondered how far below the surface that stone goes, and what shape it is beneath.

    Aah, you lucky man, and you even got to see the Green Stone. One of the top locations in Turkey I want to visit. When I studied Sanskrit, I took a brief look at Hittite. It was amazing how similar the two languages were in structure. What an unusual place to center an empire.

    I am puzzled by 'The Tub' shown at the beginning. Its inlet hole just above the walking surface but its outlet hole 'so far' below surface level ... what was it feeding into so deep? Maybe the current day surface is way higher than when the 'tub' was created?

  • @eddemian
    @eddemian 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Those holes are for splitting the Stone to be used elsewhere. They may be old, but that does not mean that they are original. In fact, the whole site looks like someone quarried it and left behind just what you see now.

  • @Antique803
    @Antique803 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I keep thinking that some of the stone work was done with human powered...peddled like a bicycle type drills and saws. They knew about pulleys and such so it wouldn’t be much of a stretch to use belts and pulleys and sprockets to get fast performing human powered equipment. Most likely anything devised for this purpose would have been fashioned out of wood and leather and fabric...thus gone without a trace. The blades and drills were made of a desirable metal that were found and melted down to create weapons and other devices.

    • @khaccanhle1930
      @khaccanhle1930 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, I don't like the people who go to a site and say, "If these are tool marks, where are the tools?"
      I think, "Have you ever worked on a building site? We NEVER left our high value tools lying around after we finished a project." if they were of special metals, those materials would inevitablybe kept and used until totally worn, then recycled for other purposes. It's so obvious to anyone who actually works with machinery or tools.

  • @HerbWalker
    @HerbWalker 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    The fact that they could even drill those holes that way is as much of a mystery as WHERE are all of the tools or the TECHNOLOGY they used? Its as if all these things were built and then the TOOLS were hidden or taken somewhere. Not ONE advanced technology or tool has ever been found any where in the world. That is not by Chance!

    • @Nasauniverse001
      @Nasauniverse001 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @Helkenberg
      @Helkenberg 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Depending on the age of the sites and the general probability of some kind of global cataclysm, I would suspect that any technology would have since rusted away into dust. Only the stone remains. And I think with Lake Titicaca being elevated so high above sea level yet containing freshwater seahorses that we should conclude that a massive upheaval took place that wiped entire civilizations off the map. We are fortunate to have any remains at all; it appears to require a hardness above 8 to withstand the plasma blast that many conjecture caused the cataclysm or was part of it.

    • @hipstarchild
      @hipstarchild 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I recon the advanced technology they used were tools made from fragments of a meteorite that had such remarkable properties that could cut through the rocks like a knife through butter.

  • @HerbWalker
    @HerbWalker 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If you will place your hands on the top of the Jade Stone, you will be given a 'vision' of the Cosmos.
    It is composed of green nephrite, which is related to jade. It's top surface is polished to a mirror-like finish, no doubt from people touching it over hundreds of years.
    That area is HIGHLY charged with energy and it is amplified by touching the stone there.
    The drill holes are a way they {{{tuned}} the sound frequency of the stones, to preform a certain task.

  • @RobertHarrisMIB
    @RobertHarrisMIB 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    So the civilization that worked these rocks was more advanced than ours. And a cataclysm wiped them out. Most likely they knew it was coming and that is why the underground city of derinkuyu was built. It makes sense to me.

    Great site and video. Love to go on your tours.
    The identical blocks with 4 holes, looks like old concrete elements, where the holes was made with the element. That is what we would do today. Concrete turns to limestone/sandstone, when under salt water. Look at the elements used in the walls and think of a modern construction... If we made them 100.000 years ago, our solutions would likely be similar. Also notice how the elements have cracks running from the holes, even between many holes. That is what to expect from metal rebar in the holes expanding because of erosion. The site have since been reused many times, offcause, but try just looking at it as a house we have made, with a concrete base, then wood and windows, top with a roof. Now what would that look like if it has been under salt water for 10.000 years?

    • @tomheringer2047
      @tomheringer2047 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      73 37: Great comment! The first thing I thought of was concrete and rebar. This style is a unique departure from the use of key slots and metal keys to effectively strap the blocks together. If concrete or cut stone, I see the cracks as a result of catastrophic side loads imposed on the rebar embedded walls.

    Perhaps the protuberances are for balancing, like a weight on a tire nowadays? In order to move them.
    The drill holes may have been for a rigging system, like our modern wall anchors for mounting a mirror, only used to pick up and transport the blocks.
    Just guessing.....

    I have seen in Cambodia temple of smiling faces a carved picture showing two stones putting on top of each other, and labourers grinding in opposition direction by wooden handles so to make both stones smooth to fit together in a wall afterwords. Afterwards, I saw a current stone workshop in the same vicinity where labourers were using the same technique.

    This truly looks beyond ancient. When I see the stone "flooring" pavestones, it appears they were once flush and in a pattern. Now very separated, out of order. The megalithic look almost melted, exploded. Never heard of this site, but looks way older than most.

  • @r.a.stephen8016
    @r.a.stephen8016 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    At 7:05 the two joined stones are actually the same stone. Looking at the horizontal striation matching at the joint, one could assume that, because the builders kept the two peices together upon placement, each stone was at the limit of what they could move as far as weight. It must have been very important to the builders to keep as much of the stone in close proximity to the pieces it came from originally. I wonder if orientation of the stone compared to its magnetic disposition was taken into consideration during construction. That would mean that the quarrying of the stone and its future placement were as important as the final product of all stones as a sum of the energy they were concentrating. Energy goes where energy flows...?

    If the bath had a block that neatly fitted inside the bath tight fit . Then the holes at base were used to pump air or water into below the stone in centre . It would act as a lifting device or as a floating device . Todays masons still use compressed air through tiny holes on wet flat stones to easily float them around .

  • @goldminorsanchez7769
    @goldminorsanchez7769 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think that you have it wrong on which hole is the intake hole. I get the impression that water was fed into the container from the lower hole. Likely piped in from a spring not far away. Note the slight channel in the ground as you walk up to the rectangular container. That would have been the water course from the outflow

    The more you dig into Gobleki Tepe and of these early biblical peoples (empires) ... it pushes back the statements that Gobleki could have only been occupied by the conehead Star Peoples in those pre-biblical periods of the "pre-Adamites." Only with the ~2000s BCE did the Nephilim (elohim, Sons of God) intermarry with the human females creating the hybrid conehead-humans (giants) of times past. It was the biblical flood (capture of the rogue object, Moon in ~1987 BCE) that God previously had 120 years for Noah to build his UFO cargo ark (~2107 BCE). This gives a whole new meaning to megalithic - that could have only been done by the Nephilim, since we weren't particulary around until the ~6000-5000s BCE.

    And dolerite erodes at .16 millimeters for every 1000 years. So how old is this site?

    There is certainly something alien with the holes in the rocks ...WHY? Why would they do that? Thanks Brien!

    What if a ancient civilization had to build out of big heavy stones to protect them against big dinosaurs. Thanks Brien for your hard and passionate work

    Hello, my name is Nick Barksdale and I have a large and popular history channel on TH-cam called The Study of Antiquity and the Middle Ages. I am always looking for footage that will help me captivate and educate my audience because sure, pictures are great but I find videos to be a better resource. I focus on the Hittites quite a bit and will in the future and I found this by you on the Hittites and I was knocked off my feet by its amazing quality and detail, and I was wondering if you'd allow me to use your footage? I would happily not just attribute you in the video section but also put you in the video credits themselves, thanks for your time and stay well
    Sincerely ~ NICK

    I live currently in Turkey, so What you suggest is that Hattusha is much older than the Hittites , correct ?
    Did you visit Çatalhöyük ? This site shows polygonal stonework.

    uncanny similarities to the drill holes in Puma Punku ... and the beveled foundation stones resemble ones found in Baalbek ... and that Peru-like protusion!!

    Brien - I really love your videos, but you should talk more to your geologist! Limestone is composed mainly of calcite with a hardness of 3. Metamorphosed limestone is MARBLE and is still composed of calcite with a hardness of 3. The hardness does not change with the metamorphism process.

      but then I guess that's why people take the tours - fair enough.
