>The details of the structure's function remain a mystery. It was excavated by a German archaeological team under the direction of Klaus Schmidt from 1996 until his death in 2014; Schmidt believed that they had been early neolithic sanctuaries.
>Göbekli Tepe is regarded as an archaeological discovery of the greatest importance since it could profoundly change the understanding of a crucial stage in the development of human society.
> It remains unknown how a force large enough to construct, augment, and maintain such a substantial complex was mobilized and compensated or fed in the conditions of pre-sedentary society. Scholars cannot interpret the pictograms, and do not know for certain what meaning the animal reliefs had for visitors to the site; the variety of fauna depicted, from lions and boars to birds and insects, makes any single explanation problematic.
And maybe, most importantly:
> The reason the complex was carefully backfilled remains unexplained
So, what's under it, /x/? A portal? Ley lines? Gold? Bodies?

Pic related supposedly dates back to 7500BC but anyway with all those recent discoveries neolithic revolution has to be rewritten.

This is really pretty fascinating. The animal has a kind of central american vibe to its design.

There are plans to restore it though and no mysterious coverup.

One of the most interesting things I'd that it predates the birth of agriculture. The people who built it were likely hunter gatherers. The whole timeline of civilization has to be reconsidered.
I was going to go top gopekli tepe last week but I cancelled the plan because of the coup and the ISIS and all that shit. Fucking ragheads

I was there when visiting familymembers in turkey. Was really interesting. Sadly i have as much info about it as you if not even less. But the rock monuments and stuff were really interesting. Everyone in that area should go to look at it
(Its acailable to the public, but they want some entrance money)

Like the NG article said, at the worst point the smoke from the battles could be seen from the hill with the dig site. Christ, just a bit further, and those fuckers might have wiped the whole place off the map. Hopefully they're wiped now.
