Within a few miles to Göbekli Tepe, a one-hundred-metre (300 ft) long sloping tunnel has been carved out of solid bedrock at another unexcavated and very ancient Taş Tepeler site in Southeast Turkiye. No one knows who did it, or why. Locals say it there is a spring here and may have been used to collect water. Others say it has carvings in it. Is it from 12,000 years ago, or did the Romans do it? Why is it oriented north-south? Does it have astronomical significance? Hugh Newman and Andrew Collins investigate this secret sloping tunnel for the first time, that has been hidden from the public (with full permission from the landowners).

So glad we get to go on these journeys with you and get to see things i/we will never be able todo. Thank you for these adventures🙏🇬🇧
Tip. In mining a vertical hole is a shaft. Horizontal is a drift. Kinda helps differentiate. You guys rock.
And so if I lay on my back it’s a shaft but if I’m stood up its a drift ❤
@@JM4lN_PvP backwards. If you do that you'll get shafted
@@davidlancaster8152😂😂😂
But this one is diagonal..? ;P
@@bongfuhrer You can walk it, so it's horizontal. If you need a ladder or rope, then it's vertical.
Wow this is incredible hopefully some work gets done there in the future to uncover the rest. Great video as usual Hugh and Andrew
That tunnel will be filled in, before it gets dug out.
Ben istanbul luyum başımızda bu kendini bilmez yönetim oldukça.. Sahtekar dincilik gericilik kültür yoksunu ve işe yaramazlar oldukça hiç birşey olmaz 😑
Incredible! What a find! Andrew! Hugh! Thank you so much. I've not heard anything about this before. Awesome 😎
It looks very old-definitely older than Roman times - based on its location. I would also suggest many more caves and extensive tunnels are near. Thanks for bringing this to the world’s attention. 😊❤
That is amazing I would love to see it all cleared out.
That's freakin Awesome!! And according to the mainstream, no one was supposed to be able to accomplish anything like this, that long ago. Awesomeness!!
According to what mainstream lol
They didn't have any tech to distract them, so.
Is there a clearly defined stone floor that you can find? Something with evident pick marks? I ask because the visible section resembles the flat-top coffin shape of a hand cut mine such as you would find in old roman mines. However, in those old mines the flat-top coffin shape of the upper part of the tunnel was just wide enough to allow for a man to cut with a pick/chisel and then proceed with clearance for his shoulders. If this tunnel is a mine, with classic construction technique it would mean that the miners either tripled the width of the mine for some inefficient reason, or the shoulders of the miners would three times wider than a man's. The actual depth of the tunnel(minus all the debris), would also be approximately 3-4 times the depth of a traditional mine, with a narrowing at the base. At the 11:30 mark, you can see extremely long horizontal cuts on the stone, indicating a very large tool.
What an excellent share Hugh and Andrew, thank you soooo much!!!👍🙏🙏😊
I got an idea. Dig out the rubble please. Seriously open that up
The guys are doing great work,we can't expect them to do everything for us , perhaps it's time others help, maybe yourself your obviously enthusiastic,could be a great adventure (just get the necessary permissions first ,as the guys did) all the best from sunny Troon 😊
Yes! Big question is, why is that tunnel full of rubble and how and when did that rubble get there 🤔
Uh yeah I'm sure the turkey government wouldn't mind if they just start digging up archeological sites without permission....
I agree, get that train back on the track!
That's what I was gonna say ,dig it out ,get to the solid rock bottom
That tunnel shape reminds me of the tail of certain animals, how it's segmented and gets smaller towards the end. Scorpions have tails like that, and aren't there scorpion motifs on some of the structures?
dont think so..looks to me like it was purposly filled in..if the ''locals'', dont know, then, its at least 12k old..our creators, aliens, were on earth 200,000k ago, mining minerals, or,,we were..they left 13k ago.. sumerian tablets viper tv.. romans had sht to do with anything,,same as the egyptians..
...and, isn't that one 🦂 running up yer leg? 😱
Thanks Andrew and Hugh for the great work you guys do. I'm a Korean American fan from Seoul. Hopefully I can meet you guys on your tour someday. Cheers!
I think you're on real big and very important exploration to find any answers to understand what's really happend "in" and "under" göbeklitepe...perhaps for the whole rest of these tunnel structures in the world!!!! Love it ❤
The Turkish government should commission you guys to uncover the evidence of their greatest heritage. You have the knowledge ,will, skill, contacts and following to help them get their priceless sites uncovered professionally and objectively for the worlds appreciation and understanding. Turkeys ancient sites are paradigm shifting for our human story and you guys know all about it!
Just tell them, if they let you help them put some major excervations together, in a few years time their sites will attract more tourism than the pyramids at Giza. They just need your expertise , also with the ongoing media coverage to make it real to the world 🌍😮🌎 !!
Thanks for going underground. There are underground features associated with megalithic sites around the world. I am glad to see you covering one.
Fun, exciting, new! Thank you for the great video. I loved every moment of it.
As usual, good info, no leaps of conjecture, jus the facts and allow us to make our own minds up. I'm currently a couple of months away from my first published book and hope to meet you guys at some point.
Greets from my Desposyni side; we know Adam is halfway down the kings lists as the first human ever to be given kingship of a city-state.
Thanks, Hugh and Andrew, you're doing excellent research,
it's much appreciated.
Amazing! Great find and I look forward to the excavation. Turkey’s archaeology bill must be huge!
More of an investment than a bill. 😊
I hope the cave gets some serious examination. What a great find spot! The area it is in is intriguing being so close to other sites. I hope it can be critically dated.
So interesting! Thank you so much JJ and Hugh and Andrew for all the work you do
I always enjoy your reviews. You’re very thorough and very informative. I would like to see more reviews of vehicles that people can actually afford these days.
You boyz r brave pioneers, maximum respect! Love ur wrk, bn following for years, but liked and subbed from my other account. Many thanks, peace out
Looks like an old mine, could be anything from thousands to hundreds of years old. Neat find, almost feels like being Indiana Jones finding that!
I think that tunnel was deliberately filled in. The walls and ceiling are in pristine condition with no signs of collapse. If all that debris fell in from the opening the entrance would be massive. The amount of work it must of took to carve a tunnel through solid stone like this is unreal.
great video!! so much stuff is being uncovered about the past
Hung ve Andrew teşekkürler sizde olmasanız bilemiyceğiz göremiycegiz sağ olun, var olun saygılar👏👍🙏💙
Spontaneous thought, how did it become filled with rubble? It's not coming from the walls or the roof. It looks like a giant flood transported debris and clogged up the tunnel.
Doesn't look like water carried rubble to me, if that was the case walls would show scratches and rock would be rounded for that kind of volume. Looks more like quaried rock carried in with the intent to seal it off like the tepe sites. With a roof it would be hard to fully fill and some settlement would take place with loose rock over time. Further work needs done.
@@charlesmaurer6214 A mud slide might avoid both of those things.
I think its possible that all that fill ,like the apprent burrial of Gobekli Tepe and other megalithic sites of great antiquity, is due to the fall out from the last pole shift. Which could be exactly what the builders there and at Derinkuyu were trying to protect themselves from!
that, or they buried it as a time capsule and the tools and tech weve been searching for is at these buried places
@@TheMookie1590 Great point. I think your right. If these sights were properly excervated the things that could be found might be game changing. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they found more advanced architecture and tech from predeluvial times under deep under the remains of less advanced generations that came later. Who lost knowledge, tech and skills were being lost during that last pole shift and resulting ice age.
It wouldn't be surprise if it was over 12,000 years old
How do they know how old this is?
@@hankscorpio8928 they don't - follow the money
If it’s a mine, then the roof and arches are remarkably well finished. The water mine idea is interesting, reminiscent of the long range water carrying tunnels and channels into Istanbul. Doesn’t really fit though - it just goes down at a walkable slope. The north south alignment needs checking and if confirmed, is a big question.
Still more likely to be Roman or medieval but when you’ve got local villages with 12000 year old statues in basements it *could* be vastly older.
Excellent find, excellent video, makes me want to do some fundraising for additional professional exploration and documentation! Well done!!
Wow!!! You guys are amazing!! I know this was a special treat
Fantastic ;) Thanks for this pictures ;)
Wow! Hope you get to explore this further
Amazing stuff, thanks for sharing it with us 💚
Glad you enjoyed it!
The headdress almost looked like a Grid map with tunnels extending off
Greetings Hugh! Very exiting!
It's cool having family history that goes back that far even if some of it was about alien intervention pre-Adamic style.
What are the materials of the debris/material on the floor? The arches are reminiscent of whale ribs. What kind of stone is this caved in to? Is there evidence of related structures above ground at the cave’s entrance? Are there any excavated basements, wells, or other constructions in the village? Does it extend beneath a road?
The real Dr jones, great vid, thx :)
Very interesting so many different possibilities only time will tell.
Great work guys look forward to your next visit

How is not studying these enigmatic sites THE top priority of all nations?
Waow ! Mindblowing. I wish Turkey gvnt investigate with you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👋🏻👋🏻🇫🇷🇫🇷
You call it bed rock. But that covers a wide range of stone types from sand stone (easy to carve) to granite or basalt or metamorphic rock. Need some clue of its hardness.
I don't understand why so many of these things say "we only have a few minutes so we have to work fast, Hope we have enough time to get x,y,z" Why don't you guys plan better? You have been to the site before, should have brought some tools and laborers to dig down a small hole to at least see the floor.
The hole thing seems a little fishy to me.
Bunch of tourists if you ask me
Amazing discovery. It would be a monumental task, but I have to wonder what is below the rubble? All the best to you and your work. Thank you.
Gives me Mithraeum vibez - and this is also the birthplace of the Mithras cultus - it makes sense, is it an earlier aspect of Mithra as an Adonis figure, also contemporoary to the area, is it a heros tomb, or is it much much older? but I think Mithraeum
There are many of these tunnels around the planet with downward slopes. I believe I read about them in the Lost worlds of Agarthi book. A bloke walked down one, heard a weird droning and turned and fled. I think they are also in UK. Incredible video guys!
Agartha is a 19th century fantasy. It's not a real thing, nor is it a real legend. It is a 19th century fiction with no basis in science or fact. There are zero "ancient texts" citing it, no evidence, and no scientists take it seriously.
in Nevada some exploratory inclines were angled in such a way to take advantage of daylight while digging - perhaps the same here
question is how did they get light for the portion of the day when sunlight did not penetrate
Looks like blocks on side of entrance. I think i would start some digging and clearing/removal around that entrance.
If that’s 12,000 years old I’d ask it’s curators permission to excavate it’s deepest area after hazmat suits are on and digging deep could reveal any DNA left behind. I think an armoury for storing weapons out of sight as my prediction. Really exciting find and potentially others could be possible on the opposite side are possible so not to rely on on source of arms for protection, like clear across the other side of the valley if they are unable to reach this point. Least possibilities have to do with storage of the gathered crops as the Greeks are know to do. Still an incredible sight.
They look like stone ribs supporting the roof of the cave in my opinion. Fantastic presentation, thanks!
my thoughts:
- a mine ? a mine is functional and follows a vein of ore - the walls are too fine and the tunnel too straight - not a mine
- a tomb ? I think a tomb would broaden into a larger chamber and would not explain all the soot - that makes me think it saw frequent use
- a well ? it could be a passage down to well - the soot could be from torches - perhaps it was built before the invention of wells and followed a retreating water source
- some sort of religious symbolic place - would explain the fineness of the workmanship - the unnecessary "ribs" - perhaps a passage connecting people with the underworld - maybe a shrine or altar at the end - maybe the "soldier" is a modern misinterpretation of whatever was being ?worshipped" at the end of the tunnel - possibly adapted from a natural feature
- maybe a combination of a natural spring and place of worship ?
Useful for the next Solar catsotiphy as well as Derinkuyu or Kaymakli...
The angle downslope coupled with the polar orientation could tell you the approximate date it was made. Also, through archeo astronomy or astrology it might be oriented toward a star cluster.
Good question… if the floor was excavated, would the height have some consistency? I think the soot is a ‘recent’ anomaly. Although, given the possibility of age, ‘recent’ may be ‘over the last 10k yrs’. Caves, tunnels, mines etc, have been a gathering site for youngsters for youngsters since alcohol was invented..
if you dig youll find bones there, and if you remove the rubble at the end the tunnel continues, turns and theres a large room.
And in that room there is big old .........😱
@@malcolmrickarby2313 that we shall never know in this lifetime hahaha!
@@malcolmrickarby2313 when i was there as a child there was not even half as much rubble shoved in there.
@@MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKSwow tell us more, please!! Why is the rubble put in? What kind of bones? Why more rubble now? What was the room like and do you have pictures?
Looks reflective almost crystalline when staring back upto the entrance would have been an arduous task to say the least.
It seems like the section of the shaft has been designed with a lot of attention to detail. I wonder if this is for a specific purpose, such as serving as a door or grid? It's intriguing to think about the possibilities! 🤔🧠⚡
Go back and watch your video around the 5:00-6:04 ....time frame. When your flashlight moves around, the light sorta shows a figure ....it is about 2 ft left of your moving right hand. It is a round head, with a triangular body, arms raised up. There seems to be something there.
Anybody else have an insane urge to decorate and claim that cave forever as their base??? Im thinking its a great place to chill this election year. Bet the wifi is terrible too. Im all in!!!❤❤❤
With such an unaltered ceiling, and walls where did the rubble come from unless a stream feeds in from the top at times?
👍 Way cool! Telescoping would be a way to describe how the tunnel is designed.
It’s staggering what they did with chicken bones 🦴 😂😂😂😂😂
Great job guys.
👍👍🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧
Super cool, thank you.
Hey great video, keep it up. Secondly, I noticed you have a blackberry Keyone...... is there a place where you get yours as theyre impossible to get downunder. I miss my blackberry.
The end of the tunnel looks buried and needs to be excavated. It may go on much further.
Can't soot be carbon dated? Of course that doesn't tell you when the carving was done, but it would be interesting nonetheless!
Soot may be the result of more recent interlopers.
It may have been an oil well that caught on fire leaving the soot on the roof and walls. The rubble may have been attempted control of the fire. Not all oil is recently discovered and used.😊
It would be really interesting to dig out that cave and definitely sift the soil as it comes out. I wish I could go help.
it looks Acoustical, I imagine each ridge as a sound blocker, inward sound would reflect and block itself, outward sound would flow without returning like an echo, basicly it wont echo in either direction. I guess. kinda like a Tesla Valve, with the flow of sound instead of water.
Tepi was filled with rubble as well. Very modern arch shape ahead of Roman tech. Whoever built it wanted to hide it for a long period like Tepi sites. Even may have served as a deep shelter during the destruction it was used to survive. The cuttouts have slat holes for shelves. Looks like a modern fallout bunker. Need to cleen out the rubble and screen it, could atleast be able to date the filling and perhaps find more artifacts. Hasmat suits should be worn with new sites as old viruses may be preserved, suspected to explain some pharaoh's curse deaths.
Thanks guys I gotta say the art needs RTI great discovery
What gauge tool tip did the engraving?
What's the energy like there? Could the tapering/narrowing of the tunnel be to focus energy and/or to point to something? Would be helpful to map it in context with ground penetrating radar and the like
Thanks Megalithomania this is amazing, Don’t understand why there is so much debris on the floor, the roof and walls don’t look like the crumbling?
Remindes me of a megaphone- an amplifier. Play various tones at the small end. Remove the ruble to see its full dimensions.
I’ve been exploring the area between Yogunburç and Sayburç using copper dowsing rods with wooden handles, they seem to work better than the copper coming in direct contact with hands, and have found quite a few meteorites. Was there a known Meteor Impact in this area?
The webs at the entrance looked like a scene out of Raiders of the lost ark.
Maybe it has something to do with pipe resonance effect. Where if inside subjected to heat it will start to resonate and with the pipe that size effects would be impressive.
It's a Templar cave.
The hole is for a plain fire, and it looks like a Fleur symbol.
Need to go down to floor level and move forward.
This leads to somewhere BIG!!
This could perhaps be the archaeological discovery of the century.
Before you mentioned the spring I was wondering if it could be to protect the wayer supply? Not just for access but as dual purpose as a fort, or even from evaporation depending on the climate for whenever it is dated?
no
yes
well never tell
That square you pointed out. Right there, from an angle, hieroglyphics of some sort. The bird was very clear. And lines delineating text were not uncommon
Alot of people could live in that tunnel, they would be protected from the elements and fauna, pretty handy having a well at the end of it too!
Nothing like a phenomenal discovery explained by a soft spoken mumbling English man you can't understand...
It could have been made with rounded metal sheets hammered in and dug out from inside. Successive smaller sheets slotted through and same done again. Concrete type mix pumped around outside each sheet. Sheets then rusted away.
absolutely astounding ! These tunnels urgently need to be shoveled free of all the rubble that was probably washed in there somehow and completely exposed ! 🤩 When it comes to processing, they look exactly like the so-called “earth stables” in Central Europe!
Very impressive find! Precisely cut. I might have missed it, but what type of stone is this? This reminds me of a find by Dr. Heinrich Kusch in Austria, the so called Strebl tunnel. They did a laser scan and it had a surface precision in the range of 1.5mm. They even found a metal fragment of an unusual alloy in the almost glass like surface, as if it was from a fast rotating machine tool. Would be interesting to do that here as well.
An additional remark. I have a gutfeel the square like warrior or whatever carvings were added at a later stage in the history of this tunnel, possibly by the hunter gatherer society that inhabited Gobekli Tepe nereby. But the tunnel structure is beyond the capabilities of such societies. Similar to the scratchmarks and hyroglyphs on the outer surface of the Sakkara granite sarcophogi. Added by later inhabitants, but not done by the builders.
Love the music at the end of your video. What is it?
Where exactly is this tunnel? Can we visit it? I went to the Çayönü site only to find out that it is closed to visitors. I wish you would provide these details in your videos too.
Why carved? Possibly the word constructed is better suited
In my opinion the tunnel was built to house & hide many hundreds if not thousands of people from anything from catastrophic weather or anyother natural phenomenon that occurred in our ancient past. It would have had a water source, like a natural spring which is the most important survival aspect of any safe shelter for people to go & hide in for weeks/months.
The walls look treated
I doubt this dates to a full 12.000 years old. The carving seems much more developed than we see in other earthworks of that age. But since the end is choked with rubble, it might go even further than is apparent at the current time. I hope someone gets to excavating here. Who knows what might be found at the end of that passage? The chamber at the front is suggestive of a guard post or something similar. The wall niches could have been for lamps?
Tunnel sections remind me of a telescoping radio antenna. Or at least how it works.
One question: why???
Wondering if the design was to enhance sound waves from the inner end?
Telescopic.. would probably be the best description.
The soot is how they carved it out. Set a fire to weaken the stone nearby, hack away, rise repeat
WoooW someone should clean all that rubble and check the end
Sound and frequency technology, because of those dimensions reduced in steps. Very old Phonon technology like many other megalithic structures. Quote from Wikipedia, Phonon: "The study of phonons is an important part of condensed matter physics. They play a major role in many of the physical properties of condensed matter systems, such as thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity, as well as in models of neutron scattering and related effects.
The concept of phonons was introduced in 1932 by Soviet physicist Igor Tamm. The name phonon comes from the Greek word φωνή (phonē), which translates to sound or voice, because long-wavelength phonons give rise to sound. The name is analogous to the word photon representing wave-particle duality for sound waves."
