The archaeologists excavated the white stone and reconstructed the L external wall during the 1960’s and 1970’s and brought it back to how it originally was. Inside there was no reconstruction.

    With Göbeklitepe, the Creationist have a few theories.
    For those who don't know who Creationist are, (most people do, I know) they believe that the world and life today as we know it didn't evolve in millions and millions of years. Rather spoken into being by God in 6 days. And that earth is only 6000 ish years old. The Creationist also believed that another difference between this and evolution was that there is an eye witness account given by God, Himself in scripture. This is what I believe. And I understand that there are plenty of people who disagree on this topic, agree to disagree, ok?
    A couple of the Creationist views on Göbeklitepe is;
    One, it was built near the garden of Eden and was used as a Temple. By Adam and Eve's close decendants.
    Secondly, there is a theory that Göbeklitepe is where Noah built his ark.
    Now, personally, I'm not sure. There are other Tepes around with similar features, so I might lean towards the Temple theory. There were definitely enough people back then😅

    Carbon dating is totally inaccurate for determining the age of a building. Or for that matter, much of anything else, unless the item in question was once alive. All it tells you is the age of the material that was used in the construction of the item in question. Nothing else. So if they carbon dated the stones used in the building, then they figured out how old the stones were. That doesn’t make the building that old. Stones that may be millions of years old could be used to build a building that’s FAR, FAR newer (obviously, as there weren’t any buildings, or people for that matter, around a million years ago).

      @Stacey Shomaker Layer I
      Layer I is the uppermost part of the hill. It is the shallowest but accounts for the longest stretch of time. It consists of loose sediments caused by erosion and the virtually-uninterrupted use of the hill for agricultural purposes since it ceased to operate as a ceremonial center.
      Around the beginning of the 8th millennium BCE, Göbekli Tepe lost its importance. The advent of agriculture and animal husbandry brought new realities to human life in the area, and the "Stone-age zoo" (Schmidt's phrase applied particularly to Layer III, Enclosure D.
      Agriculture. I rest my case

      Jesus was LITERALLY a scarecrow, designed by Rome to keep the bullies in power and the ignorant in fear. He never existed. Not a god, not a son, not a prophet, not a guru, not even a regular guy. There was no baby jesus at all.

    Coloseum is one of the newest buildings mate. You forgot everything how to do with Greeks, Parthenon of Athens, Palace of Mycenea and tomb of Amphipolis the great Macedonian grave who was meant for Alexander.
    Also Petra of Jordanian is much older than Coloseum.
    Also you forgot Sphinx of Giza, Matsu Pitsu, the whole island of Delos, Delphi, gates of Hatusa and many others who existed for thousands of years before Coloseum.
    Good trying but very poor information

    Knossos…been there, its a joke…basically, archeologists found a pile of rocks then fashioned walls in a manner in which they thought the walls were arranged-its one giant guess…oh, and the painted columns they show are all circa 19th century.

      But the throne and sewage system are original and couple of walls .
      I was disappointed also that most is 19 th century creation.

      There exist older sites as the Earth shifts on its a axis to reveal. You'll be shocked to learn some of them pre-date "450,000" years. Yes all the history books will be rewritten.
