    Many of you will already know a lot about the 11,600-year-old site of Göbekli Tepe, with its oval enclosures, its ornately-carved T-shaped pillars, and the fact we have an incredibly sophisticated settlement at the very beginning of the Holocene.
    But many of you will not have heard about Enclosure F. It's something not often discussed, and that’s because until recently, it seems there wasn’t a lot published.
    But in 2023, Oliver Dietrich and Julia Wagner published a paper, titled “Early Neolithic imagery in flux. A case study on the reliefs of Building F at Gobekli Tepe, southeastern Turkey.”
    So far, two-thirds of this enclosure have been excavated and eight pillars have been identified. Not only do these pillars tell us a great deal about the history of Göbekli Tepe, but one pillar in particular stands out.
    It's known as Pillar 74, and on it is portrayed a man, whom I've called 'The Buried Man of Göbekli Tepe' - the only full-bodied human to be depicted on a T-shaped Pillar.
    Watch this video to learn more about it, to learn about the importance of this enclosure and how it fits within the timeline of events in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic.

      Do you know, why they re planting trees on that excavation site? It seems that they don't want to further excavate it. And surely the roots of the trees will cause damage to what is underneath it. I don't understand what are they doing there?

      I watched a video on the destruction being done at Gobekli Tepe I dont think the Turks should be in charge of such projects. They are nowhere near the levels of British archaeologists and how they built the viewing platform and roof going right into the complex what are these boneheads doing. They also highlighted the orchards they planted for some unknown reason, if you have an archaeological site thats 10 times the size of whats already been excavated why would you plant trees directly over it. Why dont they ever invite in top western archaeologists or even grad students looking to get some experience like they do in countless other ancient sites across the world. Turkey arent known for their archaeology and its plain to see...

      Of course in that same sentence I have to include Randall Carlson as well . With Graham I feel like he isn't taken nearly as seriously by his peers due to his claims of alien type intervention in building the worlds befuddling sites. Randall seems to get more respect,and has great conversations and debates with folks who are in the mainstream. He never points his finger at aliens or other less acceptable theories.

    Sadly, the historic site of Göbekli Tepe will not be excavated any further as the Turkish government has planted groves of trees (~3:22) and built concrete roads covering the site for tourists to view the excavated area. The government stated that it would leave the remainder of Göbekli Tepefor for later generations to dig. What are they trying to hide?!

They said save it for future generations because they will have better technology for excavations but of course at any point in the future you could say that too. "preserve " the site for future generations they said and then went ahead and drilled holes for cement support pillars for the cement viewing platforms at the site and built road and sidewalks over the site - then capped their "preservation" effort off with a huge orchard with trees whose roots will do lots of damage to the circles underground.

      It's so they can make it purely a tourist point like the pyramids. If you excavate too much there will be no mystery and thus less buzz about it. Also it already makes all those with "knowledge" that rail against earlier civilizations coming before their own precious one that they spent their whole career on.

    Reuse and changes don't surprise me. I live in a 150 year old home that I'm slowly renovating. You can see the original design choices and then the changes over time as others used different technology and made aesthetic changes. BTW the changes in the 70's were the worst ones so far. You have to move slow because someone back in time made some change and didn't understand how it weakened the structure. I had a whole upper floor sagging because someone decided to put a wall on the first floor and removed a main support joist in the process. That was fun to repair. Anyway...If I've experienced these changes in a 150 year old house...a 13000+ year old site might have a few changes and reuses of its own.

    If the pillars were reused, that doesn't mean they weren't sacred, just that they weren't sacred to the people who reused them. They may have taken them and then made them sacred for themselves. It's akin to saying "a church being built on top of a pagan temple proves the pagan temple wasn't sacred". Not to the Christians it wasn't, but it certainly was to the pagans. Even ancient Egyptians would do something like that from time to time "I want that, it's mine now. Scratch the other guy's name off and put mine on instead. Now the gods will smile on ME." or "I'm building a wall, go get some stone from the old pyramid over there." I'm not saying tepe t-pillars were sacred, just that reuse doesn't prove they weren't/never were.

      Not every structure is " ritualistic ". It's often the first thing archeologists jump to. It's very possible that the carvings relate to family/clan groups and denote food storage areas for said groups. It's extremely difficult for we modern people to understand what's going on here and is degraded by our putting our societal norms on the ancient people. We also get very invested in the first explanations of places and find it hard to let it go.

    The truly amazing issue about the site being pre-pottery neolithic is that so much work has been put into decorative/expressive/symbolic(??)artwork of animals and humans,yet no vessels to store foodstuffs or eat off of? That's just wild to me because in art school we were taught so much about functional pieces vs art. Its just mind-blowing how much work was being put into recording the animals they interacted/saw/ate or expressing them as symbols or story telling when they couldve been creating more utilitarian objects...just amazing😮😅❤❤❤❤❤
    Thank you so much for the program,really great one here yes I immediately recognized the v shaped collar/necklace of Urfa man on the pillar drawing. I have often wondered if the same artist was going around to all the sites creating art for the community of the leopards and foxes and the human figures are all detailed so very similarly it is just uncanny. There is definitely a relationship to much of the art in many tas tepeler sites. Your aerial views and this figure have really made me want to see Gobekli Tepe myself even more now!!!! THANK YOU😊😊😊

Go anywhere and just take food, prepare it where you want and spend your time going and doing whatever is important to you. Home is genuinely where you keep your heavy treasure like statues or community structures. Fewer humans yes but much larger lives than numerous toiling monoculture short-lifers good mostly for conquering your richer neighbors.

    • @AncientArchitects
      @AncientArchitects  28 วันที่ผ่านมา +18

      According to the archaeologists, there are 2 reasons:
      1) The trees were planted when the land was still privately owned by farmers - not government so they could technically do as they please.
      2) The archaeological remains are covered in rock debris. The olive tree roots will only stay in the top-soil, the roots will grow horizontally on reaching the rock layer. Apparently the roots stop the soil from moving with the rain or flash floods, so apparently, they say the olive trees protect the soil and don’t affect the archaeology.

    Matt, if we hypothesize that static living on a hill top opens the need for water and food storage for let's say one year (assuming the need to survive a bad year) than 1 adult person would need some 0.2 m^3 on dried or smoked food and 1 m^3 of water. If we assume 100 adults, this would imply a storage of 20 m^3 for food and 100 m^3 for water. Could the 'benches' be storage room away from rodents and bugs and could the massive pillars have carried atticks for food storage? Could terrazzo floors be used to make them bug thight and the massive walls hinder animals to enter the buildings? In other words: to what extent might these buildings been used a part of the year to store food? Your architect friend already made a reconstruction for a wooden structure, but would an attick on top of the pillars be possible?

    • @ChrisShortyAllen
      @ChrisShortyAllen 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      In short no.
      Humans dig wells. Storage requires no co2. That is achieved by placing food in a sealed hole with a trace of life to consume the oxygen and create co2.

    So glad the planted goddamn orchards on top of the site. That will really help to make sure that the rest of perhaps the most important archeological site in the world isn't excavated. I mean, it's not as good--or bad--as the road the Turkish government built, or the permanent visitor's center and walkways, but every little thing they can stick on top of the dirt helps to make it that much more difficult to ever find out what's beneath. But I'm sure it's probably nothing of note down there, right? That's why so little has been uncovered in the past decade or so, no doubt.

    even the mere fact that they reused large stone pillars over that span of time is interesting, moving and setting the pillars is a lot of work, and requires a lot of cooperation and planning for an early civilization. Although the civilization changed over that period of time, the technology remained relatively stable, with little innovation into new forms of construction.

    Another fascinating video, Matt [I have hesitated to use fantastic because of the double meaning]. A thought struck me while looking at and listening to descriptions of the iconography. What would the Navajo, Hopi and other Native Americans think of such things. The pseudoscientific notion that looks like = is not being what is in my mind. People who live in similar conditions and who may have developed in similar ways might have some ideas that typical Westerners might not think of. I wonder if any of their culture bearers have been asked about such things. If not, perhaps they should be.

    were the pillars erased and eroded due to a conscious decision bc of reuse? Or were they losing their distinct detailed carvings from being weathered and eroded due to being exposed on the surface for potentially 1000s of years? If the pillar was only partially erased that tells me it was only partially exposed to the surface so the buried portion retained its carving while exposed was weathered away. Didn't farmers complain of getting farm equipment stuck/snagged on the "rocks" protruding from the ground before the site was known?

    The fact that Building F is closer to the modern surface than A, B, C and D does NOT necessarily mean that it's younger. It just means that less sediment has accumulated above it, likely because there was not as much occupation in that part of the site during the rectangular building phase, or just because it's in a downslope part of the hill. It could be a bit later, but it could even be earlier. You need to do a proper stratigraphic analysis and get some radiocarbon dates to find out its chronological placement.

    Im looking at the drawing of the people building the structure. When you look at the entrance it looks like it might be a store house. The different rooms could hold different types of food. If there are any fire pits in a room they might have some farm of smoked meats. All they had to do was build wooden racks to hang the meats on build a fire and close the room up. Other rooms might have had baskets made from grass to hold grain. Of course the wooden racks and grass baskets would rot away over years. You show people with houses off from the round structure ,so no one lived in the round building. They had to gather food as it ripened so a store house would definitely be needed. Not every structure we find is a temple. I really don't think that was how they would worship their gods. I think out in the open under the stars would be more like it.

True though--- as you look over time, the depiction of humans, and human-like gods (humans as created "in the likeness of God") became more prevalent. Certainly classical Greeks loved depictions of humans, and talking about heroes etc. and what did Heracles do first? He went out and killed a great lion. Jesus as Man-God. The serpent as the epitome of evil. The move away from pantheistic cults.
