In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    • So sad. This discovery over turns entire accepted human history that is currently being promoted. This man is a martyr; for truth that is being kept from the masses, by the elite, as to our true nature in this realm. Like so many throughout history whose discoveries, point out contradictory evidence to "accepted" modern science. Prayers to him and his family and his assistants

As being Creationist, I take the liberty to reinterpret carbon dates as the one he gave in the light of a growing carbon 14 content in the atmosphere. Third, as he was German, I think he might - as long as I wasn't his student - have had some tolerance about disagreements. I'd have loved to argue it out with him, had he been here and up for a debate. Whatever our disagreements, I am thankful for his work, it helped, even if it was not then his intention, mine.

  • And special thanks to the villager; the owner of the field that found the first evidences and worked for the excavations. He finds a few good pieces in 1986 and takes them to the city museum. The chef of the museum (he was not an archaeologist) says they are just limestone, so do not worth anything. Then the old villager feels disappointed and does not want to take it back to the village since they were heavy and wants to throw them away. The chief says well, let's leave them inside the storage. 6 years later, Mr. Schmidt sees them and the story begins.

    • You are right. But on the other hand when you look at the proportion of how long humans lived as gatherers and hunters (300.000 years) and at what period they started to settle down (10.000 years) humans lived 97% of there time as hunters and gatherers. Now that gobekli tepe proves that they settled down earlier or even build city’s. The number changes only to 96%. The fact that civilisation began in the last 5% of human existence will not change.

This discovery could have been excavated with such a narrative guiding the thought, and perhaps there are some, but I think this fine individual would be able to step outside of them, without being ridiculous. He has his eyes open.

Sometimes we would make them goal post and if we found something decent like an old key I found once we would bring it to the museum near by. Greeks and Roman artifacts are what is still close to the surface but I always felt there much much more deep underneath. This place partially proves my gut instinct I guess.

    • Goebekli Tepe looks like the ruins of the ancient ancestors of the Mexicans. The style of the relics and archaeological finds look exactly what they find in Mexico. People tend to act blind when there’s traces of EXACT SAME style to certain cultures around the world and if doesn’t fit their narratives they find a way to add their theories to fit them. Like Goebekli Tepe and the Pyramids of Egypt also the temples in Cambodia. Ancient ancestors of the Mexicans have all those sites styles in one. Do the math!

  • RIP Klaus! For you: Göbekli Tepe is a school. Pillar 43 is simply a map of the Levant. Part of Jordan, all of Lebanon, most of Syria, and part of Turkey. The Vulture is the Golan Heights and the Scorpion is the mountains to the right of the Golan Heights that are shaped like a scorpion. You can see it on your phone. The dog at the bottom left of the pillar is the mountains to the right of the Dead Sea. They are totally shaped like a dog with a square face and legs. The top of the pillar depicts the Mt Lebanon Mountains (the square “belt” is the Beqaa Valley) then up to the Mediterranean (the three curling waves are a tsunami tossing man, large beast, small beast down the coast…the flood) with the very top of the pillar depicting the mountains of Cyprus in the distance. The bird on the right is the Euphrates River (the Euphrates has long straight “legs”), with the square tail end of the fish being Harran. It is a physical map. Each animal or shape is a separate mountain/water structure: food, shelter, fresh water. They are all positioned and oriented correctly which is why a good map is easy to prove. We still navigate around the same earthly structures today. Göbekli Tepe is a school and this was a map of their country in a classroom. Honestly, I had an Indiana Jones moment about a month ago and wanted to share it with the world. It is a map: no astrology, astronomy, religion, or aliens I promise. Note: Göbekli Tepe means “Potbelly Hill” and that’s how it would have be drawn on a map…like the Jordan River being drawn as a snake on the pillar!

    • The key difference is Schmidt is passionately attempting to convey as much data as possible during his 20 minute talk, condensing twenty years of life's work to a largely uninitiated audience. Schmidt's talk is about his life's work, not his ego. Contrast that with the cult-like, ego driven, narcissistic, "hey look at me, I'm on Ted Talk so I'm somebody" segments that are far more common, given the number of hours Ted Talk has to fill for its events to stay relevant.

  • Building something like that doesn't just come out of a vacuum. Convincing people to cooperate and build something like this is difficult today, requiring a vast amount of knowledge that has been perfected over hundreds of years. The people who built this started on this hundreds if not thousands of years before this place was constructed. Many milestones will have to be reached in human perception and knowledge before someone imagined this, and many more generations would have passed until everyone else working on it saw things the same way. So this is indeed a very significant fine. It suggests that humans developed these ideas during the ice age. But why? Why think like this when survival is difficult enough for the people of this region. Its easy for us today to know the advantages, but they didn't know.

  • Klaus Schmidt, a team player. If archaeologists have awards, one should be named after Klaus Schmidt. My interpretation of the site is first, an annual meeting place for farming groups. Like an annual show day. Show off your best livestock, build your best art and chat about the latest things then have a few beers and feast. Then do it again the next year. Then it stopped and was deliberately filled in and covered over. Two, the groups had to move on physically or psychologically and wanted to bury the past in a funerary way. Then came grain, and another chapter.

  • From what I've seen so far, Gobekli Tepe was a group of structures similar to the dakhma, or "towers of silence" used in Zoroastrianism to conduct "sky burials", or the stripping of flesh from dead bodies by scavenger animals in a sort of circle of life ritual. The "T" pillars were probably designed to host vultures that would swoop down and consume the flesh from headless bodies placed out for them. The heads were most likely removed from the bodies for preparation/plastering before the bodies were cut up for easier flesh removal by the scavenger animals, given that the "T" pillars had no heads, and that ritualistically altered human skull fragments were found at the site.

  • @ 7.50 In the centre it's a picture of grinding stone still we use in Tamilnadu (southern India) & Srilanka. The base stone is called Ammi & the cylindrical stone placed above it is kuzhavi. We still use in our village kitchen to make chutney or to grind spices. Very surprised to see this was used in gobekli tepe. One etymologist also has prooved about the connection between Tamils & Go bekli tepe.(channel name: Tamil chinthanaiyalar peravai) Looking at this Tool it is possible that there is connection between the two civilisations.

    • Tribal John making pottery is easier and a logical step for hunter gatherers and primitive people. Building gigantic stone circles and pillars with intricate designs is a much harder task requiring a team of people working on the construction. Then you have to feed and house them ect and would never have just randomly been undertaken by gatherers.w
