Without getting into the usual/repetitive debate….The Bible does not offer a accurate timeline for the history of our planet. Simple.

Gobekli Tepe is an awesome site.

Above: Stacked rocks forming walls - African Metropolis;
Bellow: Stacked rocks forming walls - Göbekli Tepe;

The similarities are striking!

Why do archaeologists call every new site they found a "temple"?
How do they know? Where is the evidence for that claim?


btw...I know, Göbekli Tepe is not a new site. It has been under excavation since 1994.
But it was immediately called temple.

edit on 24.8.2012 by grobi77 because: (no reason given)

It's called a temple because their are no signs of continuous habitation (no one lived there day to day). Therefore, it was used for another purpose. The logical purpose is for worship...i.e...a temple...but I suppose it could have been a meeting place for the different bands and tribes...where they ate, talked and sacrificed to whatever spirits they believed in...oh wait....that's a temple.

The same type of buildings have been found in Africa, dated to be 200,000 years old (the oldest Metropolis ever found on Earth).

OMG. What crock.
Seriously, the author of that whacky article should research first of all.
omg, following that link to the idiotic article on the 200, 000 years old "metropolis" in south africa, reading about a incredulous arm achair archaeology, throwing in Michael Tellinger ( who not an classically trained archaeologist but an author & songwriter and predominantly a pseudo archaeologist), some crazy annunaki stuff, credo mutawa, and the fact that circles are circles.....my brain is toast just by reading that linked website.

I ought to sue the Original poster for causing serious mental agony to me.
