Ancient Architects | Göbekli Tepe EXPLAINED: 4 Common Misconceptions | Ancient Architects @AncientArchitects | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
Göbekli Tepe is one of the most enigmatic ancient sites in the world and with more and more research; it just gets even more fascinating, but I’ve noticed that there are many errors that are often repeated on the internet, so in this video, I’ll be giving you the facts and best ideas, as I tackle four common misconceptions.
It really is important we have a good solid background knowledge of this incredible site, if we are really ever going to make sense of it so in this video I'll be tackling these four popular sound bites:
1) Göbekli Tepe was not a settlement
2) Göbekli Tepe was a temple
3) Göbekli Tepe was Intentionally Buried
4) Hunter-Gatherers could not have built it
With more and more research and analysis by archaeologists, it is getting more and more likely that each of these four statements is incorrect and in this special 20-minute presentation, I'll explain why.
I would also urge you to watch the fantastic interview with Dr Lee Clare on The Prehistory Guys YouTube channel at youtu.be/16paeSPUIjo
