Before Gobekli Tepe, archaeologists thought temples and religious buildings were found only where farming communities (beyond hunting/gathering) stood. But at Gobekli Tepe, temples were found before farming was established; and it uprooted a long held belief. This is one reason why Gobekli Tepe is significant.
The timeline for farming and agriculture is not carved in stone, so to speak. Even if it were, it could get eroded by rain and wind. But until we have convincing evidence to the contrary, this is the timeline the mainstream will go by. Dr. Robert Schoch's work and theory on the Sphinx is good and convincing. I wonder if Dr. Klaus Schmidt, the archaeologist who helped excavate and more importantly realized the significance of Gobekli Tepe, would have thoughts about Dr Schoch's belief in an earlier advanced human civilization.
I thought there are evidences that farming existed 23,000 years ago . So some 10,000 years old temple are not really that old . Maybe they were simply just not that massive in scales or efficient agricultural civilizations ...
May I ask where can I find this information about farming 23000 years ago? To me and by today’s knowledge, it seems not that difficult to figure out that seeds germinate and can grow into plants. So it's entirely possible that humans or proto humans figured it out 23000 years ago. Maybe when they talk about ’farming’ 8000 or so years ago, they mean large scale full time farming, complete with year round settlements, having entirely giving up on hunting /gathering except in the non farming season.
@@korich7152 in Ohalo II they founded that 23000 years ago human had gathered 140 different species of plants included 13 known weeds mixed with cereals like oats , barley , emmer... and they founded tools for grinding the seeds , sickle blade for harvest , there are also scarred seeds which mean they were planted .... The common knowledge that farming started around 10,000 years ago probably came from recorded documents from ancient civilizations that developed a written language .... But scientific evidences show that farming was developed much earlier than 10,000 years ago.
In 1999 I was assisting the dig. I was ther3 when the ground penetrating radar survey was done. We found 21 'religious' structures buried all around pot belly hill. No living areas, or large cooking areas.

Hi Gabriel, Why am I not surprised that this is considered the oldest city Turkey is strategically is the center of the Middle East you can reach any destination in a relatively short. Turkey seems to be a very vital and critical point of entrance the global map will show this with most routes going in any direction to the west, south, east and north it’s not by accident the U. S. has a military base there. Giving them a fastest route to any place in Europe, Asia, or the Middle East.
Thank you for presenting my country Turkey. I have learnt much from this video. I haven't been Gobeklitepe so you are lucky. Keep going and stay safe. Best
FANTASTIC Been bucket list destination since 2005 for me. Im so impressed with what I could see of its preservation and how well they protected it from weather and visitors. Looks wonderful with great viewing from boardwalk. Nicely filmed and framing shots,no wind noise and nice audio. Great work Thankyou You answered so many questions I had about what it would be like to visit. I have photos of my brother and I in 1976 at Stonehenge with no other people at the sight. So lucky. Half an hour by ourselves. But the number 1 enigma and wonder and biggest treasure is GOBEKLE TEPE !
I wanted to experience the Gobeki Tepe site when I was in 2019 but my guide would not go because of refugee issue with Syria. I will try again this year, 2022. Thanks for the vlog.
Incredible ancient city, great vlog. I hope to be a seasoned traveler like you one day. Been sticking to domestic flights in the U.S., but finally taking my first Euro trip in February...with the rest of the world on my bucket list. Cheers, from Texas!
I have seen Graham Hancock talk about this place extensively on the Joe Rogan show. But it’s really cool to see just a normal person walk through it and then stay in the surrounding area like a tourist. Kind of makes me feel like I was there on vacation. Keep up the good work. If you notice the bus relief cultures of the guys that look like elders with beards holding what looks like a purse of some kind or a bag or satchel. Similar carvings are found in Egypt Central America and angora wat in Cambodia and like three other places I can’t remember.. it appears that a meteor cataclysm wiped out advanced civilizations all over the world. Raising sea level all over the World by hundreds of feet within a day.
it's unfortunate the ancient aliens, panspermia theory has been messed up be money-making organisations spewing out garbage. If this idea was untainted, it doesn't sound so crazy, you know. Look at what we are already doing within 70 years. From 1950s to 2020 we have sent robots to space and on the verge of colonisoing Mars. Who the heck knows what happened for billions of years across the universe. If it did not happen on Earth, it is conceivable it happened elsewhere.
This just blows my mind. I am not sure if I had ever heard of Gobekli Tepe, but I am reading Reza Aslan's book "God: A Human History." I am only a couple chapters in, but so far, he is talking about the origins of religion, belief, and the concept of god/gods. Fascinating stuff!
I can’t believe it has changed so much. I am blown away by the tourist easements that have occurred in the past coup,e of years. Just sitting her in amazement. Did you visit the museum in Urfa?
@@shivajishilkantham please learn more about history..the oldest civilizations is around the levant region thats where gobekli tepe and Sumerian is thriving..the indus valley is the third oldest civilizations after the levant mesopotamia and nile river egypt.
10,000 years? It's in fact older. It also predates the Stonehenge by 6,000 years. If you're lucky enough to visit and speak of it's name, at least get the age right! It's too important to talk lightly of man! :D It's closer to 12,000 but more in the line of 11, 800 years. It changes everything.
Excited to see this! Indirectly learning history from you is so much more enlightening than sitting in a classroom! I truly appreciate your hard work. OOPS, Was I supposed to say 'first'?!!
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I'm not into the competition, just here to be enlightened! My nephew's birthday is tomorrow, he'll be 36 and is traveling through Italy, heading to Croatia. I turn him on to your travel experiences!!!
When i went there, in gobleki tepe, like 6/7 years ago there was nothing. No tickets, no sidewalks, no big tent. There were cows shitting all over and farmers. I had to take a taxi from Sanliurfa to go there, as there were no bus. It shocking how it has changed since then.
It was a high point traveling around Asia Minor ,the centre of development for the human civilization and I was caught up in that The Turkish attack on the Kurds in Syria has bought the reality crashing in . I hope life begins to improve for the people of Syria who have been suffering from death, destruction and displacement since God knows when. Amen.
I lived in Ankara Turkey in 1982 - 1984. Incredible place. Turkey is filled with wonders. Many sites to see. Cappadocia, Pammukale and much much more. It is easy to see the how the Romans laid claim to this part of the world with their pillar architect.
I wonder if there are more drawings on the pillars that are eroded? Some of the pillars are heavily eroded while others seem almost pristine. If there is a correlation between the number of drawings and the amount of erosion then that seems to imply that the drawings where done by later people because they could access them better. Have the most pristine pillars been recently excavated and then raised up by the archaeologists?
@@GabrielTravelerVideos i've just watched an old joe rogan chat with graham hancock,this place is amazing i'm in awe,and damn i went to Turkey last year,guess i know where i'm going in june,and the underground city is on my list to,thank you.
@@MatrixDiscovery I said soil, not sand. This place isn't a desert, and probably was much more lush 10k+ years ago. It's not a set up, it's real. Take the tin foil hat off, ditch the conspiracy crap and embrace science, facts, and reality.
Thank you for this amazing video! For the people who interest with Göbekli Tepe, there is a turkish serie in Netflix called "Atiye", it is about a mysterical, spiritual story in Göbekli Tepe. You can enjoy ✌️
Göbekli Tepe Center of Türks In Göbekli Tepe, the Turks have Kün-Ay and EB drums, there are 8 of the 12-animal calendars on the T-shaped obelisks, there are countless Turkish traces, especially the Khakasia Turks and Scythian Huns and Turkmens. The Turks made the Stonehenge and the Ring of Brodgar, which are arranged like Göbekli Tepe, as evidence of the Futhark Orkhun inscriptions around them.
Google lists 10 other cities that apparently are older. Iam no historian, but when I was in school the common assumption was that the true birth of civilisation was the area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in Iraq.
You might have found a list of oldest "continuously inhabited cities", not ancient ruins in general. That's what comes up when you search on google, but that's a different criteria. Gobekli Tepe is a relatively new discovery in terms of the findings, so it's shifted the timeline of human history from what was believed just a couple decades ago.
That's for sure a hindu temple south indian style... still those type of carvings can be seen even today in some of the south indian temples....!! Recently a 6000 year old Lord Sri Ram and Hanuman carving have been found in North Iraq...!!
This is what archaeologists have determined based on excavations of the site. There's more information available about why they determined this, such as the fact there weren't items found at the site that would have indicated people were living there.
I haven't heard of crocodiles in Turkey these days, but probably the climate and animals in the region were quite different 12,000 years ago, so maybe they were around then.
Yeah it's bad for everyone. And what the heck does Erdogan think he will accomplish by randomly firing missiles into Syria and killing innocent people? There have already been reports of civilian deaths. It makes no sense.
Civilians have already died as a result of this operation. All this does is create more anger towards Turkey for invading their country and killing innocent people.
And the large pyramid of Giza ( Pyramid of Khufu) is probably at least the same age but probably much older! We will soon find old cities under water that are re- writing history as they are very, very old! Ask yourself if what you see are what they claim!
The official dating of the Great Pyramids is that they were built around 4,500 years ago. But I'm a fan of alternative researchers such as Graham Hancock, who suggest they might actually be much older. And yes, there are lots of incredible underwater ruins that haven't been explained yet. However I need to stick to the more established facts in my videos. Speculating about possibilities would be a different topic of discussion.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Can't agree more with you Gabe! Hopefully in the near future someone stumbles on a new amazing discovery that will re-write history of mankind! The deeper they dig the older it gets! At the moment nobody knows how many old lost civilization there are out there waiting to be discovered!
Fred there is no race between countires about oldest temples. The monuments in egypt is already very important being not as older as gobeklitepe does not make pyramids less important
Harran Plain was Adam's Garden. That’s why Harran Plain surrounded by structures with T-shaped pillars. Enclosure D in Göbeklitepe is the first structure in whole region.
I think the are people of NuH ( Noah ) the ark is also Found in Turky high Mountain arat. En the place is now covered under sand en mud becaus the flood of Noah. prophet noah was also the first messenger that Allah sent to the first civilization.
J are you thinking Yonaguni is part of the lost continent of Mu? Although I know that Gabriel has done scuba diving, doing it in waters off the coast of Japan might be unsafe as I understand radiation is being leaked into the ocean there.
Many of the signs and symbols I see in this site are idicitative of the ancient earth goddess religion reaching back far deeper into our history. The snake and bird goddess are two common themes. See the work of Marija gimbutas
I’ve noticed that you often find yourself in hotbeds of political intrigue, for example, you were in Vietnam when tRump was there. On the other hand, Turkey is a fascinating place and it was a thrill to see Gobekli Tepe, I’ve read so much about it. And Vietnam? Also a thrill to see since it played a huge role in my college years-well, my youth in general. Keep on traveling my friend. I hope you are what you say you are and not working for the government.
How they got such an old date and well preserved megaliths is because it was purposely filled in and so they could accurately date the soil, It is essentially a time capsule. Highly recommend Magicians of the Gods by Graham Hancock if you actually want an honest view of our ancient history. Religious people and archeologists purposely ignore sights like this because it doesn’t fit their narrative.
It's a calendar you cannot have agriculture without a calendar they knew a cataclys and was coming and I wanted to preserve it the calendar they wanted to preserve the calendar
Graham Hancock loves the discovery of this site. It really turned the “civilization “ timeline on its head. A very Amazing place for sure. Gabe have you traveled to Budapest in all your extensive traveling? I visited my friend from the French Foreign Legion that now resides there and I absolutely loved it. If you haven’t gone I would recommend it highly.

Why ‘religious’ and why ‘temple’ ? That many years ago could have been ending a previous Age or Yuga with Gobekli being a kind of exhibition centre
Finding Gobeklitepe, is like finding a electronic watch on the wrist of 6 thousands year old mummy. It is that out of place, it is that shocking.

With all those old temples, you think it would be the most PEACEFUL place on Earth!!! lol
I believe human history is not linear
Suggestion about that and tip for next travel:
*Yonaguni Monument*
J are you thinking Yonaguni is part of the lost continent of Mu? Although I know that Gabriel has done scuba diving, doing it in waters off the coast of Japan might be unsafe as I understand radiation is being leaked into the ocean there.
How it was meant look like looks like a key hole
Why the grasses look dead and yet everyone seems to be enjoying the warmth of the sun?!
Many of the signs and symbols I see in this site are idicitative of the ancient earth goddess religion reaching back far deeper into our history. The snake and bird goddess are two common themes. See the work of Marija gimbutas
Fascinating and amazing place.
I’ve noticed that you often find yourself in hotbeds of political intrigue, for example, you were in Vietnam when tRump was there. On the other hand, Turkey is a fascinating place and it was a thrill to see Gobekli Tepe, I’ve read so much about it. And Vietnam? Also a thrill to see since it played a huge role in my college years-well, my youth in general. Keep on traveling my friend. I hope you are what you say you are and not working for the government.
this was on the History Channel Friday night Gabe.
Cool. I would have liked to see that.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos i hope you get too sometime...
Turkey is very nice country ink it's definitely the historic place to visit
Thank you for the video and the choice of music was perfect it really drives the essence of the people who build this temple 12000 years ago.
We absolutely loved Göbekli Tepe and the Şanlıurfa Archeological Museum... an incredible place that only a few people have heard of!
Will you come back to Nepal?
Definitely.
Nice video but those aren't ruins. They were buried and then excavated intact and standing. Very little reconstruction required.
How they got such an old date and well preserved megaliths is because it was purposely filled in and so they could accurately date the soil, It is essentially a time capsule. Highly recommend Magicians of the Gods by Graham Hancock if you actually want an honest view of our ancient history. Religious people and archeologists purposely ignore sights like this because it doesn’t fit their narrative.
So Interesting! Really amazing to think about
Gabriel, you are so kind, good for you.
Awesome video bro
I visited Gobeklitepe last summer and since that day I keep questioning religions and genesis. Anyways nice video love from Belgium :)
It's a calendar you cannot have agriculture without a calendar they knew a cataclys and was coming and I wanted to preserve it the calendar they wanted to preserve the calendar
Thank you so much for all what you do 🌷🌷🌷🌷
You are so kind and generous. This reminded me of Qatar- the more rural areas. God bless you son.
Graham Hancock loves the discovery of this site. It really turned the “civilization “ timeline on its head. A very Amazing place for sure. Gabe have you traveled to Budapest in all your extensive traveling? I visited my friend from the French Foreign Legion that now resides there and I absolutely loved it. If you haven’t gone I would recommend it highly.
I first learned about Gobekli Tepe from Graham, he's awesome. I was in Budapest a couple years ago: ruclips.net/user/gabejedmosearch?query=Budapest
Wow. Thank you.
Göbeklitepe is 18000 years old.
nop, 2 billion years old,
@@paulocunha3799 I am from Turkey before I went to Göbeklitepe
@@theeocoookrahat2844 Nice to hear!
Nope 4.5 zillion years old. Older than the multiverse our ancient universe.
Why every ancient ruin is either tomb or temple
Nice video mate. We lived in Ankara 1985-88 and it was nice seeing your trip around the temple and Urfa.
Again, scraped bowls in the stone in Göb. Tepe.
Same on Malta.
Strange🤔
Very informative video and well filmed.thanks a lot
Never heard of it, thanks for sharing! 👌👌
Why would anyone want to bury this place. Maybe the same reason people lie about the bible.
Very good video! Simple and to the point. Very considerate 😊
