Before Gobekli Tepe, archaeologists thought temples and religious buildings were found only where farming communities (beyond hunting/gathering) stood. But at Gobekli Tepe, temples were found before farming was established; and it uprooted a long held belief. This is one reason why Gobekli Tepe is significant.
The timeline for farming and agriculture is not carved in stone, so to speak. Even if it were, it could get eroded by rain and wind. But until we have convincing evidence to the contrary, this is the timeline the mainstream will go by. Dr. Robert Schoch's work and theory on the Sphinx is good and convincing. I wonder if Dr. Klaus Schmidt, the archaeologist who helped excavate and more importantly realized the significance of Gobekli Tepe, would have thoughts about Dr Schoch's belief in an earlier advanced human civilization.
I thought there are evidences that farming existed 23,000 years ago . So some 10,000 years old temple are not really that old . Maybe they were simply just not that massive in scales or efficient agricultural civilizations ...
May I ask where can I find this information about farming 23000 years ago? To me and by today’s knowledge, it seems not that difficult to figure out that seeds germinate and can grow into plants. So it's entirely possible that humans or proto humans figured it out 23000 years ago. Maybe when they talk about ’farming’ 8000 or so years ago, they mean large scale full time farming, complete with year round settlements, having entirely giving up on hunting /gathering except in the non farming season.
@@korich7152 in Ohalo II they founded that 23000 years ago human had gathered 140 different species of plants included 13 known weeds mixed with cereals like oats , barley , emmer... and they founded tools for grinding the seeds , sickle blade for harvest , there are also scarred seeds which mean they were planted .... The common knowledge that farming started around 10,000 years ago probably came from recorded documents from ancient civilizations that developed a written language .... But scientific evidences show that farming was developed much earlier than 10,000 years ago.

10,000 years? It's in fact older. It also predates the Stonehenge by 6,000 years. If you're lucky enough to visit and speak of it's name, at least get the age right! It's too important to talk lightly of man! :D It's closer to 12,000 but more in the line of 11, 800 years. It changes everything.
Incredible ancient city, great vlog. I hope to be a seasoned traveler like you one day. Been sticking to domestic flights in the U.S., but finally taking my first Euro trip in February...with the rest of the world on my bucket list. Cheers, from Texas!
In 1999 I was assisting the dig. I was ther3 when the ground penetrating radar survey was done. We found 21 'religious' structures buried all around pot belly hill. No living areas, or large cooking areas. Sanilurfa was being checked for dwellings; the city's central plaza subway digs turned something up when I was there; all the way from SF via Fumicino (Rome) by motorcycle.
I think the are people of NuH ( Noah ) the ark is also Found in Turky high Mountain arat. En the place is now covered under sand en mud becaus the flood of Noah. prophet noah was also the first messenger that Allah sent to the first civilization.
Hi Gabriel, Why am I not surprised that this is considered the oldest city Turkey is strategically is the center of the Middle East you can reach any destination in a relatively short. Turkey seems to be a very vital and critical point of entrance the global map will show this with most routes going in any direction to the west, south, east and north it’s not by accident the U. S. has a military base there. Giving them a fastest route to any place in Europe, Asia, or the Middle East.
it's unfortunate the ancient aliens, panspermia theory has been messed up be money-making organisations spewing out garbage. If this idea was untainted, it doesn't sound so crazy, you know. Look at what we are already doing within 70 years. From 1950s to 2020 we have sent robots to space and on the verge of colonisoing Mars. Who the heck knows what happened for billions of years across the universe. If it did not happen on Earth, it is conceivable it happened elsewhere.
people need to stop with the sacrifice and temple stuff People of earth 12000bc got handbags from Sumerians in Syria that stands for knowledge gift. The tower of babel what stands for build up to much of knowledge we arent ready for. And got destroyed by our creator. Simple people of Derinkuyu got warned of the asteroid to reset humanity.

I have seen Graham Hancock talk about this place extensively on the Joe Rogan show. But it’s really cool to see just a normal person walk through it and then stay in the surrounding area like a tourist. Kind of makes me feel like I was there on vacation. Keep up the good work. If you notice the bus relief cultures of the guys that look like elders with beards holding what looks like a purse of some kind or a bag or satchel. Similar carvings are found in Egypt Central America and angora wat in Cambodia and like three other places I can’t remember.. it appears that a meteor cataclysm wiped out advanced civilizations all over the world. Raising sea level all over the World by hundreds of feet within a day.
I wanted to experience the Gobeki Tepe site when I was in 2019 but my guide would not go because of refugee issue with Syria. I will try again this year, 2022. Thanks for the vlog.
That looks to me more of a school or science center based on the animal hieroglyphs or maybe a meeting center. The most important part, the history told us today is totally wrong. I hope this has nothing to do hiding the truth from general public.
FANTASTIC Been bucket list destination since 2005 for me. Im so impressed with what I could see of its preservation and how well they protected it from weather and visitors. Looks wonderful with great viewing from boardwalk. Nicely filmed and framing shots,no wind noise and nice audio. Great work Thankyou You answered so many questions I had about what it would be like to visit. I have photos of my brother and I in 1976 at Stonehenge with no other people at the sight. So lucky. Half an hour by ourselves. But the number 1 enigma and wonder and biggest treasure is GOBEKLE TEPE !
This just blows my mind. I am not sure if I had ever heard of Gobekli Tepe, but I am reading Reza Aslan's book "God: A Human History." I am only a couple chapters in, but so far, he is talking about the origins of religion, belief, and the concept of god/gods. Fascinating stuff!
That's for sure a hindu temple south indian style... still those type of carvings can be seen even today in some of the south indian temples....!! Recently a 6000 year old Lord Sri Ram and Hanuman carving have been found in North Iraq...!!
I can’t believe it has changed so much. I am blown away by the tourist easements that have occurred in the past coup,e of years. Just sitting her in amazement. Did you visit the museum in Urfa?
Your video could be very informative, BUT you pan too fast!!!!!!!!! I was getting seasick by the camera panning and shake and had to stop watching. Shame!
If there are not any brown people of any variety shades and the variety of hair textures originating from there then you might want to rethink the concept of it being "the oldest," 9ether makes 6ether not the other way around.
When i went there, in gobleki tepe, like 6/7 years ago there was nothing. No tickets, no sidewalks, no big tent. There were cows shitting all over and farmers. I had to take a taxi from Sanliurfa to go there, as there were no bus. It shocking how it has changed since then.
It was a high point traveling around Asia Minor ,the centre of development for the human civilization and I was caught up in that The Turkish attack on the Kurds in Syria has bought the reality crashing in . I hope life begins to improve for the people of Syria who have been suffering from death, destruction and displacement since God knows when. Amen.
It's a calendar you cannot have agriculture without a calendar they knew a cataclys and was coming and I wanted to preserve it the calendar they wanted to preserve the calendar
Göbekli Tepe is certainly NOT the oldest construction in the world. I always wonder where 'scientists' find the proof for this kind of conclusion. How do you know that it was a temple? An old Arabic book, the Hitat, tells us that the pyramids in Giza were built 72,000 years ago. But the reason to build both structures is the same. Ancient books as the Mahabharata from India and the Popol Vuh from the Maya tell us that the earth is suffering from a cycle of natural disasters. These disasters are causing a huge tidal wave, floods, earthquakes and a bombardment of fiery meteors. Many animals become extinct, mankind hardly survives. This creates a cycle of civilizations. One of these civilizations is, near the end of their existence, higher developed than our civilization today. They vanished 20,000 years ago because of the next recurring, thus predictable, disaster. To tell us that they existed, they constructed huge monuments like the pyramids. And Göbleki Tepe may have been a survival place. It must have had a very strong roof to protect against the meteors. To learn much more about the cycle of civilizations and its timeline, recurring floods and ancient high tech, read the e-book:"Planet 9 = Nibiru" You can read it nicely on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Just search for: invisible nibiru 9
@Based Adonis I researched this recurring disaster for more than 12 years and I found abundant and convincing evidence both in texts and pictures. Ancient civilizations tried to tell about it in various ways. The best known and most solid artefact is the Aztec sun stone that is a warning for a recurring disaster that is caused by a celestial body.
@Based Adonis It is not a conspiracy, it is plain ignorance of several ancient texts that are completely in line with eachother. And other legends and myth and most importantly depictions confirm the cycle of disasters and civilizations. Ancient texts are the memory of ancient knowledge that is at least between 20,000 and 200,000 years old.
@Based Adonis Archaeologists and geologists have nothing but their own theories and assumptions. I know of many ancient sources that tell the same story and that is very clear. Why do scientist think that they have the only right on knowledge?
@Based Adonis When investigating ancient stories you must skip the gods and the words holy and sacred and just look at what is told about an event. Several religions including the bible give many details about the recurring, thus predictable but inescapable disaster and also about the cycle of different civilizations.
And the large pyramid of Giza ( Pyramid of Khufu) is probably at least the same age but probably much older! We will soon find old cities under water that are re- writing history as they are very, very old! Ask yourself if what you see are what they claim!
The official dating of the Great Pyramids is that they were built around 4,500 years ago. But I'm a fan of alternative researchers such as Graham Hancock, who suggest they might actually be much older. And yes, there are lots of incredible underwater ruins that haven't been explained yet. However I need to stick to the more established facts in my videos. Speculating about possibilities would be a different topic of discussion.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Can't agree more with you Gabe! Hopefully in the near future someone stumbles on a new amazing discovery that will re-write history of mankind! The deeper they dig the older it gets! At the moment nobody knows how many old lost civilization there are out there waiting to be discovered!
Fred there is no race between countires about oldest temples. The monuments in egypt is already very important being not as older as gobeklitepe does not make pyramids less important
Thank you for this amazing video! For the people who interest with Göbekli Tepe, there is a turkish serie in Netflix called "Atiye", it is about a mysterical, spiritual story in Göbekli Tepe. You can enjoy ✌️
That's a tough one. Did you see this video of walking through the streets of Sanliurfa? Not a lot of women around: ua-cam.com/video/8rU7yW3Op_I/v-deo.html I'd say it really depends on how well traveled you are and accustomed to dealing with these types of situations. I think it would be easier traveling in western Turkey and the main tourist areas such as Istanbul, Cappadocia, etc. Out here it's definitely rougher. If in doubt then I would go elsewhere. But for a little inspiration, check out Rosie Gabrielle and Eva Zubeck on youtube. They travel solo through some pretty intense places.
Google lists 10 other cities that apparently are older. Iam no historian, but when I was in school the common assumption was that the true birth of civilisation was the area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in Iraq.
You might have found a list of oldest "continuously inhabited cities", not ancient ruins in general. That's what comes up when you search on google, but that's a different criteria. Gobekli Tepe is a relatively new discovery in terms of the findings, so it's shifted the timeline of human history from what was believed just a couple decades ago.
Göbekli Tepe Center of Türks In Göbekli Tepe, the Turks have Kün-Ay and EB drums, there are 8 of the 12-animal calendars on the T-shaped obelisks, there are countless Turkish traces, especially the Khakasia Turks and Scythian Huns and Turkmens. The Turks made the Stonehenge and the Ring of Brodgar, which are arranged like Göbekli Tepe, as evidence of the Futhark Orkhun inscriptions around them.
How they got such an old date and well preserved megaliths is because it was purposely filled in and so they could accurately date the soil, It is essentially a time capsule. Highly recommend Magicians of the Gods by Graham Hancock if you actually want an honest view of our ancient history. Religious people and archeologists purposely ignore sights like this because it doesn’t fit their narrative.
They also brought with them their religion, culture and language and ever since, has become an integral part ofHinduism. It is no exaggeration to say that Gobekli Tepe rewrites human history. It was built by humans 11,600 years ago, when they were still in the hunter gatherer phase!..Go and enter Is Gobekli tape does Hindu temple.. U get to know Sivslinga also found in turkey... Go and search.. Hindu by religion u are saying but it is sanatana Dharma...
Shivlinga and pashupati sheel found in indus valley civilization which dated around 3000-3500BC...it was the urban harapppan civilization..early harappan phase is 9000 years old..so think about it before conclusive anything
That is a different video anyone could see, u took us to the tour of “11000 year old history changing archaeology finding” and ur 16 dollar squat toilet room in one video 😅😅

I’ve noticed that you often find yourself in hotbeds of political intrigue, for example, you were in Vietnam when tRump was there. On the other hand, Turkey is a fascinating place and it was a thrill to see Gobekli Tepe, I’ve read so much about it. And Vietnam? Also a thrill to see since it played a huge role in my college years-well, my youth in general. Keep on traveling my friend. I hope you are what you say you are and not working for the government.
Excited to see this! Indirectly learning history from you is so much more enlightening than sitting in a classroom! I truly appreciate your hard work. OOPS, Was I supposed to say 'first'?!!
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I'm not into the competition, just here to be enlightened! My nephew's birthday is tomorrow, he'll be 36 and is traveling through Italy, heading to Croatia. I turn him on to your travel experiences!!!
Many of the signs and symbols I see in this site are idicitative of the ancient earth goddess religion reaching back far deeper into our history. The snake and bird goddess are two common themes. See the work of Marija gimbutas
This is what archaeologists have determined based on excavations of the site. There's more information available about why they determined this, such as the fact there weren't items found at the site that would have indicated people were living there.
I wonder if there are more drawings on the pillars that are eroded? Some of the pillars are heavily eroded while others seem almost pristine. If there is a correlation between the number of drawings and the amount of erosion then that seems to imply that the drawings where done by later people because they could access them better. Have the most pristine pillars been recently excavated and then raised up by the archaeologists?

You instantly discredit yourself with that title. It may be the oldest yet found, but it's arrogant and stupid to call it the oldest. It's like rifling through coins in your pocket, comparing them, holding one up and saying "this is the oldest coin."
@@MatrixDiscovery I said soil, not sand. This place isn't a desert, and probably was much more lush 10k+ years ago. It's not a set up, it's real. Take the tin foil hat off, ditch the conspiracy crap and embrace science, facts, and reality.
I haven't heard of crocodiles in Turkey these days, but probably the climate and animals in the region were quite different 12,000 years ago, so maybe they were around then.
Göbekli Tepe has a very large area. Excavations in other regions continue and are not open to tourism. My brother is among these archaeologists. open to visit Underground excavations continue at the spot that is currently exhibited. The part that is open to tourism is only a point small.
I lived in Ankara Turkey in 1982 - 1984. Incredible place. Turkey is filled with wonders. Many sites to see. Cappadocia, Pammukale and much much more. It is easy to see the how the Romans laid claim to this part of the world with their pillar architect.
They're in the process of excavating. It's very picky work because you have to dig very carefully in order to not ruin artifacts buried in the soil. So it takes years. I could see other areas where they were still in the process of excavating, but it wasn't open to the public yet. Apparently that structure over the main site is very new, so the whole area is new to tourism. In another five years it will probably look quite different.
Nothing compares to Egypt... The only impressive thing was the carved shape ancient animals... I'm not sure, can someone show me megalithic at the site because I didn't recognize any of the stones being enormous... The Egyptians, debatable of course, has 2.5 ton megalithic limestones haulted almost 500 feet in the sky... Most of this site at turkey, show small stones which shows the site has been built over by following civilizations possibly, sorta like what you find at Saqqara at the the Pyramid of Djoser... Good video though, thanks for sharing... As far as the ruins, I'm more impressed about a $5, all you can eat, meal of delicious nongmo non American food then I am the ruins... Chow ya'll!
1.Your Egyptian claim is not a fact, well you admitted that 2. Egyptian culture is much newer than this temple, this is literally before humans had invented pottery

Great video. Would have loved if it was in slow motion in some spots -- it panned scenes so quickly. Safe travels!
It was a high point traveling around Asia Minor ,the centre of development for the human civilization and I was caught up in that The Turkish attack on the Kurds in Syria has bought the reality crashing in . I hope life begins to improve for the people of Syria who have been suffering from death, destruction and displacement since God knows when. Amen.
It's a calendar you cannot have agriculture without a calendar they knew a cataclys and was coming and I wanted to preserve it the calendar they wanted to preserve the calendar
I'm sure the foundation for the viewing platform and tourist structures didn't ruin anything
Just seeing some pictures of animals it is 10000years old?
Very nice. I wanted to know about that remote area 👍
Göbekli Tepe is certainly NOT the oldest construction in the world. I always wonder where 'scientists' find the proof for this kind of conclusion. How do you know that it was a temple? An old Arabic book, the Hitat, tells us that the pyramids in Giza were built 72,000 years ago. But the reason to build both structures is the same. Ancient books as the Mahabharata from India and the Popol Vuh from the Maya tell us that the earth is suffering from a cycle of natural disasters. These disasters are causing a huge tidal wave, floods, earthquakes and a bombardment of fiery meteors. Many animals become extinct, mankind hardly survives. This creates a cycle of civilizations. One of these civilizations is, near the end of their existence, higher developed than our civilization today. They vanished 20,000 years ago because of the next recurring, thus predictable, disaster. To tell us that they existed, they constructed huge monuments like the pyramids. And Göbleki Tepe may have been a survival place. It must have had a very strong roof to protect against the meteors. To learn much more about the cycle of civilizations and its timeline, recurring floods and ancient high tech, read the e-book:"Planet 9 = Nibiru" You can read it nicely on any computer,
tablet or smartphone. Just search for: invisible nibiru 9
@Based Adonis I researched this recurring disaster for more than 12 years and I found abundant and convincing evidence both in texts and pictures. Ancient civilizations tried to tell about it in various ways. The best known and most solid artefact is the Aztec sun stone that is a warning for a recurring disaster that is caused by a celestial body.
@Based AdonisThe sun stone is neither a calendar nor a symbol of the sun so it could not predict anything.
@Based Adonis It is not a conspiracy, it is plain ignorance of several ancient texts that are completely in line with eachother. And other legends and myth and most importantly depictions confirm the cycle of disasters and civilizations. Ancient texts are the memory of ancient knowledge that is at least between 20,000 and 200,000 years old.
@Based Adonis Archaeologists and geologists have nothing but their own theories and assumptions. I know of many ancient sources that tell the same story and that is very clear. Why do scientist think that they have the only right on knowledge?
@Based Adonis When investigating ancient stories you must skip the gods and the words holy and sacred and just look at what is told about an event. Several religions including the bible give many details about the recurring, thus predictable but inescapable disaster and also about the cycle of different civilizations.
And the large pyramid of Giza ( Pyramid of Khufu) is probably at least the same age but probably much older! We will soon find old cities under water that are re- writing history as they are very, very old! Ask yourself if what you see are what they claim!
The official dating of the Great Pyramids is that they were built around 4,500 years ago. But I'm a fan of alternative researchers such as Graham Hancock, who suggest they might actually be much older. And yes, there are lots of incredible underwater ruins that haven't been explained yet. However I need to stick to the more established facts in my videos. Speculating about possibilities would be a different topic of discussion.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Can't agree more with you Gabe! Hopefully in the near future someone stumbles on a new amazing discovery that will re-write history of mankind! The deeper they dig the older it gets! At the moment nobody knows how many old lost civilization there are out there waiting to be discovered!
@@GabrielTravelerVideos just be careful when you think to go in countries whit radicals ....every kind of it.
Fred there is no race between countires about oldest temples. The monuments in egypt is already very important being not as older as gobeklitepe does not make pyramids less important
@@33164 😂😂😂 you stay home
Take the list of earthquakes in Turkey. Not very old.
Thank you for this amazing video! For the people who interest with Göbekli Tepe, there is a turkish serie in Netflix called "Atiye", it is about a mysterical, spiritual story in Göbekli Tepe. You can enjoy ✌️
Would you recommend a solo travelling female to travel over there?
Of course after Erdogan put his tanks back in the garage.
That's a tough one. Did you see this video of walking through the streets of Sanliurfa? Not a lot of women around: ua-cam.com/video/8rU7yW3Op_I/v-deo.html I'd say it really depends on how well traveled you are and accustomed to dealing with these types of situations. I think it would be easier traveling in western Turkey and the main tourist areas such as Istanbul, Cappadocia, etc. Out here it's definitely rougher. If in doubt then I would go elsewhere. But for a little inspiration, check out Rosie Gabrielle and Eva Zubeck on youtube. They travel solo through some pretty intense places.
Video is not perfect, because only say imformation
Göbeklitepeye gidenler lanetlenir dedem söylemişdi
NOT GÖBEKLİ TEPE GÖBEKLİTEPE OK🫡
Creation is dated at 5554 BC. Any claim of any archaeological find or any historical document that's 7,500 years old and more is therefore inaccurate.
Ia am
...and remember that our earth is a flat disk, and not a spheroid !
Google lists 10 other cities that apparently are older. Iam no historian, but when I was in school the common assumption was that the true birth of civilisation was the area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in Iraq.
You might have found a list of oldest "continuously inhabited cities", not ancient ruins in general. That's what comes up when you search on google, but that's a different criteria. Gobekli Tepe is a relatively new discovery in terms of the findings, so it's shifted the timeline of human history from what was believed just a couple decades ago.
Urfa is considered to be one of the most ancient cities in the world.
Namaste,🙏
Name of allah they distroyed billions of humanity and culture.
Save humanity from peaceful religion.
Again, scraped bowls in the stone in Göb. Tepe.
Same on Malta.
Strange🤔
Leaves questions about how much stuff is buried out there facinating
Seriously.
Göbekli Tepe Center of Türks
In Göbekli Tepe, the Turks have Kün-Ay and EB drums, there are 8 of the 12-animal calendars on the T-shaped obelisks, there are countless Turkish traces, especially the Khakasia Turks and Scythian Huns and Turkmens. The Turks made the Stonehenge and the Ring of Brodgar, which are arranged like Göbekli Tepe, as evidence of the Futhark Orkhun inscriptions around them.
If they say we migrated from northern Africa and that so happens to be true. Just imagine what they will find in the future that pre dates even this
How they got such an old date and well preserved megaliths is because it was purposely filled in and so they could accurately date the soil, It is essentially a time capsule. Highly recommend Magicians of the Gods by Graham Hancock if you actually want an honest view of our ancient history. Religious people and archeologists purposely ignore sights like this because it doesn’t fit their narrative.
Excellent video! Subscribed
Where are my hindu friends who brag about how there religion is the oldest lol. This is around 10000 bc 😂
They also brought with them their religion, culture and language and ever since, has become an integral part ofHinduism. It is no exaggeration to say that Gobekli Tepe rewrites human history. It was built by humans 11,600 years ago, when they were still in the hunter gatherer phase!..Go and enter
Is Gobekli tape does Hindu temple..
U get to know
Sivslinga also found in turkey...
Go and search..
Hindu by religion u are saying but it is sanatana Dharma...
Culture exists before 10000 bc so dont be behind blindly on religious especially AD religious
Lmao shamarism and tengrism is older than hinduism
Shivlinga and pashupati sheel found in indus valley civilization which dated around 3000-3500BC...it was the urban harapppan civilization..early harappan phase is 9000 years old..so think about it before conclusive anything
@@vardhan125 ..... Ancient mesopotamians were not Hindus.
That is a different video anyone could see, u took us to the tour of “11000 year old history changing archaeology finding” and ur 16 dollar squat toilet room in one video 😅😅
Omg i never knew i wnated this so bad. Thank you for going there.. graham Hancock anyone??
Exactly, he's who I first heard about it from, years ago.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos i've just watched an old joe rogan chat with graham hancock,this place is amazing i'm in awe,and damn i went to Turkey last year,guess i know where i'm going in june,and the underground city is on my list to,thank you.
Yeah nigga me too
@@1967Rev yes! Yes! No no
YES! Couldn't agree more
I’ve noticed that you often find yourself in hotbeds of political intrigue, for example, you were in Vietnam when tRump was there. On the other hand, Turkey is a fascinating place and it was a thrill to see Gobekli Tepe, I’ve read so much about it. And Vietnam? Also a thrill to see since it played a huge role in my college years-well, my youth in general. Keep on traveling my friend. I hope you are what you say you are and not working for the government.
Excited to see this! Indirectly learning history from you is so much more enlightening than sitting in a classroom! I truly appreciate your hard work. OOPS, Was I supposed to say 'first'?!!
Thanks Jeannie. You got the second comment, Travis Fox beat you. But he didn't claim it, so I guess you can have the gold medal.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I'm not into the competition, just here to be enlightened! My nephew's birthday is tomorrow, he'll be 36 and is traveling through Italy, heading to Croatia. I turn him on to your travel experiences!!!
Many of the signs and symbols I see in this site are idicitative of the ancient earth goddess religion reaching back far deeper into our history. The snake and bird goddess are two common themes. See the work of Marija gimbutas
Gebokeli Tepe was built by Polynesians. It is proven that its built by Aboriginals. peace up and watch szukalski
Really amazing...Am from India.... when you come here please meet me.....tk
Turkey is an amazing place. Glad you are out now as safety is a priority
9:08 wtf is wrong with those people who build this? Thats so disgusting. Taking a shower while releasing your poop into the toilet?
This is not a temple. That's just the go to explanation of archeologists when they don't know what they are looking at.
Nice video but those aren't ruins. They were buried and then excavated intact and standing. Very little reconstruction required.
Only Hindu people in India knows what the real beauty of architecture is.
Nahh overpround people go away
Incredible. Definitely will have to witness this place with my own eyes someday!
How do you know it was a temple? Why not a trade center?
This is what archaeologists have determined based on excavations of the site. There's more information available about why they determined this, such as the fact there weren't items found at the site that would have indicated people were living there.
I wonder if there are more drawings on the pillars that are eroded? Some of the pillars are heavily eroded while others seem almost pristine. If there is a correlation between the number of drawings and the amount of erosion then that seems to imply that the drawings where done by later people because they could access them better. Have the most pristine pillars been recently excavated and then raised up by the archaeologists?
Namaste 🙏 Om Namah shivay 🚩🕉
Sanatan Dharma a way of life not religion.

missed pt 1.. thanks for sharing fascinating the understanding of our past constantly evolving
Wonderful place. Very beautiful Gobekli Tepe, Turkey video. Nice creation. Great work friends.
Why people think it's a temple or place of worship ? It's all imagination.
Gabriel Traveller Archaeologists say the builders deliberately buried it, but why?
Why the grasses look dead and yet everyone seems to be enjoying the warmth of the sun?!
You instantly discredit yourself with that title. It may be the oldest yet found, but it's arrogant and stupid to call it the oldest. It's like rifling through coins in your pocket, comparing them, holding one up and saying "this is the oldest coin."
1:27 "oldest known", also see the description: "oldest complex religious archaeological site discovered".
@@GabrielTravelerVideos That's not what the title says.
hmmm..look at the bigger stones that are standing up...no weathering at all...looks like pretty new.
Because they were under layers of soil...
@@jforester7 Even under sand, this place should look much older than this. This looks to be setup recently.
@@MatrixDiscovery I said soil, not sand. This place isn't a desert, and probably was much more lush 10k+ years ago. It's not a set up, it's real. Take the tin foil hat off, ditch the conspiracy crap and embrace science, facts, and reality.
At 4:44 in the video, Cambel is pronounced "Tchambel".
Thanks!
Thanks for the video Gab, wish to see it in person someday.
Hi Ye young Merican ! 12000 years ago there were NO Türks in Göbleki tepe.Tüks invaded Anatolia after the Crusades ,that is 900 years ago.
I go along w/ Graham Hancock on Gobekli Tepe being a transferred technology based society...
Whats that
Why on earth would anyone dislike this video. Crazy.
It looked like an Aligator/Croc was etched. Do they even have those in Turkey? I didn't think they did... I could be wrong
I haven't heard of crocodiles in Turkey these days, but probably the climate and animals in the region were quite different 12,000 years ago, so maybe they were around then.
Shame it's just turned into a tourist spot. Dont see much digging ect.. Turkish govt dont care about the history ad much as the quick cash grab
Göbekli Tepe has a very large area.
Excavations in other regions continue and are not open to tourism.
My brother is among these archaeologists.
open to visit
Underground excavations continue at the spot that is currently exhibited.
The part that is open to tourism is only a point small.
I lived in Ankara Turkey in 1982 - 1984. Incredible place. Turkey is filled with wonders. Many sites to see. Cappadocia, Pammukale and much much more. It is easy to see the how the Romans laid claim to this part of the world with their pillar architect.
A whole lot of money spent on making the site a tourist attraction, but they haven't even dug it out yet?
They're in the process of excavating. It's very picky work because you have to dig very carefully in order to not ruin artifacts buried in the soil. So it takes years. I could see other areas where they were still in the process of excavating, but it wasn't open to the public yet. Apparently that structure over the main site is very new, so the whole area is new to tourism. In another five years it will probably look quite different.
Hotel looks like a old mental hospital or somthin
Nothing compares to Egypt...
The only impressive thing was the carved shape ancient animals... I'm not sure, can someone show me megalithic at the site because I didn't recognize any of the stones being enormous...
The Egyptians, debatable of course, has 2.5 ton megalithic limestones haulted almost 500 feet in the sky...
Most of this site at turkey, show small stones which shows the site has been built over by following civilizations possibly, sorta like what you find at Saqqara at the the Pyramid of Djoser...
Good video though, thanks for sharing... As far as the ruins, I'm more impressed about a $5, all you can eat, meal of delicious nongmo non American food then I am the ruins... Chow ya'll!
1.Your Egyptian claim is not a fact, well you admitted that
2. Egyptian culture is much newer than this temple, this is literally before humans had invented pottery
