Hey everyone. I have released a sequel to this film. It's 2 hours on Karahan Tepe and you can watch it here:- Cheers! ruclips.net/video/BEn6ZHtMECM/видео.htmlsi=2tC9j_qL1oa8VCr2
I agree. Extremely well done, PK. Everything from the cinematography to the narration to the editing is a treat. Thank you so very much for what you do. It is greatly appreciated.
He mentions monoliths being moved without animal power being prior to domestication.But elephants are wild & used as beasts of burden. Dogs, as camp followers at least, may have been corralled into helping, too. Thoughts?
Laird Scranton believes that the people who built Gobekli Tepe were in contact with the pre-dynastic Egyptians, and says that "Get Petkai" means "Gobekli Tepe" in Egyptian. Is there any veracity to this connection?
My life doesn’t allow me to travel the world. These videos allow me to get as close as I can the amazing history of the world, around the world. I can’t thank you enough…
I travelled to that place and can say that the documentary represents the energy of that place very well. So it’s like almost being there and you are not missing anything at all! :)
Pete, I cannot thank you enough for this stunning production. Trained as an archaeologist (fell off the wagon and became a physician) but never lost my love for prehistory. You have the talent to tell the stories so well and such a professional production. With great appreciation, Jean
I hope every middle- or high school history teacher is taking advantage of this incredible film and showing it (if only the highlights) to their students in the classroom. This is truly amazing work - both the video itself and the archaeologists’ relentless pursuit of humanity’s beginnings. I feel privileged to be able to experience this FOR FREE.
Unlikely that any are. If you LIKE history as a student you VERY LIKELY know more about history than any of your teachers. They teach almost nothing and what they do teach is outdated, propaganda or just plain false.
Pete kelly... the guy speaking is the sole editor, and producer on this channel... infact he is the camera man as well. all of this was done by a single person. incredible really.
It's just absolutely incredible to me that we get these videos free. Even back when the history channel was actually showing educational history shows they couldn't do any better than this here. Prayers and Blessings to everyone behind History Time! Thank you so much from Bayou Sorrel, Louisiana!
this video is missing so much information. First of all, in the beginning, he should've mentioned that it was found in Turkey. and there was no single mention of Turkish archeologists. Second, "Gobeki Tepe " it's not a temple. Third, It shows at least 12 thousand years of human existence, not 10 thousand. Fourth, the head was stolen by German archeologists, then they just paid some amount of money back to Turkey in return.
Technically it’s not free. You have an initial investment of the device you watch it on, as well as some form of internet service. Then comes the electricity fees associated with said devices…. Unless of course you are an illegal immigrant under the Biden administration. Then yes it is free. 🙄

What a gift to receive - to be spellbound by such a colossal undertaking. RIP Klaus, your sharp eye and tenacity continues to change our understanding of humanity.
My goodness, this is about so much more than Gobekli Tepe isn't it? You have obviously spent many hours researching and amassing data. Thank you for the artful way you have presented it. Simply fascinating.
I've been subscribed for about a year and I had no idea that you were a one man team. It makes these videos so much more knowing that. Thank you Pete. Your dedicated determination is appreciated and admired.
Thank you Pete for your hard work on this project. The emotional stirrings that the Urfa region stimulates within me are corroborated by the narration and cinematic experience that you’ve created. Not only have you effectively represented a lost piece of collective human culture but you have managed to format it so that many millions of people can access it for free. I hope that one day I can contribute to world understanding and empathy as exceptionally as you have.
Well said, I've already watched this twice and its not even 24 hours old, both times if found myself utterly captivated, hairs stood on end and regular chills down my spine, this is a masterpiece.
I was visiting Carcassone, France, and bump a couple of Archeologists. They’ve found skeletons buried during Black Death. Tied a cross in chests and the very image scared the hell out of. It was amazing how preserved it was.
Bruh. We should all give this dude at least a dollar. This is amazing content done professionally. Excellent job, sir. I hope these documentaries make you rich beyond your wildest dreams.
1:07:05.....That relief carving done at least 10,000 years ago just blows my mind. Some carver was tasked with this job. His work now seen 10,000+ years be our eyes. Thanks History Time for making this available to so many of us. Cheers from Canada!
It was firstly 14ooo but then they changed because history should rewrite and their technology was greater than today. Don't understand why Still insisting showing us people like half monkey!
It's really sad too. imagine you being one of the ancient people who was there and had experiences. You felt happiness, love from your parents and had experiences both good and bad. And then life goes on, more than a thousand years from now, no one remembers what you had or what you went through. Imagine europe and the united states and all other countries like that. No one knows that the US or europe or africa was ever like that. Or that we had such fun and stuff.
I've been waiting on this documentary for at least a decade. The fact that you're the one that created it, makes it everything I could have ever hoped for
The kid me thirty years ago would’ve never believed the quality and depth of the history content I’d have access to later in life. What a time to be alive.
This might take me an additional 12,000 years to watch in its entirety. I have health issues (including just being an old man) that make me prone to nodding off and your voice is so soothing LOL. There is so much fascinating stuff I don't want to leave my chair to shake the drowsiness lest I miss anything. Not only is your content superb, your narrations are the best thing on line YT or otherwise. I have fallen asleep about ten times haha but I've made it 2/5 of the way in the past days. Change nothing, and thanks so much.
Preparing a video like this takes so much time and effort! It's like writing a literature review paper/video that is appealing to both scholars and laypeople. Well done!
"An anthropomorphic being from an early time. Unfortunately it's head was missing." Very stunning coverage and display. Came for a snapshot. Stayed for the entire show.
Your programs are phenomenal. They should be shown in schools. I have always been interested in the civilizations of ancient Turkey- this will be a welcome addition to my history studies. Thank you for making this! 😊
There is no ancient Turkey 😂 Turks are nomads from the stepes of central Asia first time they went in Asia Minor is before 1000 years. You can talk for ancient Anatolia or ancient Asia Minor but not ancient Turkey 😂

Can't wrap my head around this beyond amazing video-documentary. Imagine the farmer discovers one of the most important artefacts in history. Imagine the Imam does not destroy the statues but sends them to the museum. Imagine the museum overlords telling the landowner these statues are worthless. Imagine the landlord to save pennies leaves them at the museum and drives back in the cart. Imagine a German archaeologist sees them. The hairs on my arms stood up when I heard this. Hats off to this one man army who is making history with these videos. Sir, you have our full respect.
i swear it feels like a holiday whenever you post. your videos are quiet moments for me in the hectic lives we all live. i have so many great memories of sitting down to one of your videos (new or old) and just breathing for three hours. they're incredibly researched, visually stunning, and so captivating; i'm always fully immersed in the worlds you bring to life. thank you for making this accessible to everyone! i don't think i'd ever learn about ancient history in the depth that i have if it weren't for your channel. thank you thank you thank you for being such a bright part of life.
This is such an amazing, well-researched, and informative documentary. I really can't recommend this video or this channel enough. This channel deserves 50 million subscribers. You can't go wrong, and you can't get a more eloquently or evocatively-delivered synthesis of so much scholarship, paired with excellent visuals and appropriate, enriching audio elements. An outstanding production all around!
Really? Because I find the guy pompous and condescending just a few minutes into this. I can't help paying special attention to what relates directly to the FACT that this monument wasn't supposed to exist. The historians and archeologist where wrong about the history of permanent settlement, technology, cataclysms, and agriculture. I have seen what clever people can do today- and we have not got any smarter for 350.000 years. We did lose our fur though. Unmatched marathon trekkers. We can eat nearly anything. Even each other. That's how our species conquered this world becoming the top predator. Sweat glands. Not intelligence. We can escape cataclysm in replacement numbers, and we have. The human genome project found several bottlenecks in our shared genetic history. This video is basicly just about trying to claim anything big or old must be religious in nature, and that the population that built major infrastructure wasn't even agrarian yet. Witch is just fucking stupid. Honestly.. At a certain point it's less face lost by academia by admitting they where wildly off on the history of technology. People forget. Being wrong like that isn't trivial. It's akin to saying the roman empire at it's hight was a stack of mud huts reinforced with straw and human feces where they had no knowledge of proper hygiene. Then excavating a roman bath claiming it's clearly a temple to some forgotten god. I mean.. Common!
I put this on when I'm cleaning and organizing. Your voice is so soothing. Helps me get so much done and learn too. I appreciate your research and delivery is masterful. Love from Grandma in Peru
I just started this documentary, so I haven't gotten through all of it, but I just wanted to compliment you on your insane production values. Your script, narration style, and audio and visual quality are all so professional, I genuinely thought this was like a BBC or National Geographic- level historical documentary. A couple things: huge props for the "aliens" meme. Nicely done. Excellent. Loved it. Another thing I loved was the nuance regarding the dam project. How it yes tragically flooded precious archeological sites, but brought much needed water to the region, pointing out that most of the critics of the project were in themselves water-rich regions. It's not so cut and dry, and I appreciate your not wholesale condemning the dam project. Knowing this is the quality of your work, I'm eager to finish watching the rest of this documentary. Please keep up the fantastic work.
I'd only really briefly looked into Göbekli Tepe when I read that its discovery had dethroned the neolothic temples of Malta as the oldest free standing structures in the world, so I really loved learning so much about the site, as well as about the cultural context it may have been built in. Thank you for the wonderful video!
This might just be your best documentary yet. I have always been fascinated with the epipaleolithic and the neolithic, so seeing that you have made a 3 hour long video about it is an absolute joy. Insanely great work, Pete!
the really sad part is that 95-98% of our history is almost permanently gone. we didn't start keeping physical records of our presence until the last 6-7000yrs ago.
@@sunny-sq6ci And that's only certain civilizations. Remember, we know next to nothing about the histories of some peoples and even empires that existed less than 1-2000 years ago
Why’d I think this channel was a subsidiary of History channel, and didn’t know this was a one man channel!? That’s how high quality your video, especially your narration and voice is!!! You are amazing!!!!!!! Love your work!
I sooo love your channel! You don't speak in a hurried fashion, which is helpful because there's always a lot of wonderful information to learn. Aren't we lucky that we're able to access informative, well-done history channels like this!! 😉❣️
At this point, it is the algorithm rather than a library or parents or friends or society that is imprinting a world view onto you.

Excellent work. Yourself and Paul Cooper are the 2 best historical content creators on earth. I am grateful to have discovered these gems. I watch your videoes over and over. I will be viewing this one many times. So good!!!!
Hi everyone. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed the doc! Make sure to subscribe as there is much more to come from this time period. and soon....
You keep knocking it out of the park with these long well researched history videos, Pete! The depth you go into is beyond belief for an "amateur production". Thank you for your work!
I feel sad that you believe this is thoughrly researched , this term golpetepee is a new term , did you know the ancestral people of these lands that were not Turks but Armenians , assyrians and Greeks this land mark is known as PORTASAR. help the indigenous people from Cultural Genocide
This is, by far, the most amazing/satisfying history video i've watched on youtube. the sheer scope of time we are talking about blows my mind. Thank you Mr Pete Kelly you are doing a great service to everyone interested in history. I also love every single one of your other feature length documentaries.
Well, I was already impressed, but if you are doing it all by yourself? Wow!! I'm not just impressed, I can't help but think about how much better you are, BY YOURSELF, than any legacy media pieces, that I've seen for years!! Thank you for your hard work, and your diligence to providing history, as accurately as possible!! Simply outstanding work!!
First documentary form this channel that I've watched. Awesome. Reminds me of some of the great history documentaries I grew up with. Definitely one of my favorite RUclips channels now.
Amazing work. I don't think anyone is currently producing anything as detailed or informative as you are. This is beyond network budget quality and depth.
Pete you are the GOAT of independent history documentaries. I have learnt so much from you and your videos. I will use them to teach my children history and develop the same fiery passion I and so many others feel when we watch these epics. Thank you.
Your works are simply life changing. You give justice to under appreciated subjects like no one else can! The best part is someone with almost zero interest in history could watch this and enjoy every minute of it
Amazing work, Pete - congratulations! I have watched everything out there on Göbekli Tepe and this one is the new benchmark, by miles. I also absolutely love the "full-immersion" feel of your long docs , you just can't get that kind of depth with programs that are crammed into standard-length format. Thank you so much for being a rebel and doing it the way that these subjects deserve!
Pete, your work makes me such a better, happier thinker and world citizen. You have been my window out of the world of medical difficulty, the work and isolation of the pandemic, and the trials of parenthood. You have been an inspiration, a gift, and a friend to me and I will forever be thankful. May your work and soul be filled with joy, acknowledgment, and health. Yours thankfully and sincerely, A Wyoming, US mom
Deepest sense of gratitude, Pete and team. Prehistory is my favorite and you covered it brilliantly! Hopefully more prehistoric sites are discovered so I can hear further commentary and speculations on such topics 🙏🏼
I found the youtube channel Fall of Civilizations about a year ago and even though the videos are longer like yours, I watched them one after another for nights. I loved them so much and learned so much. Last night I was actually thinking of them and disappointed that they don't post anymore and this morning your video was reccomended on my feed 🙂 I am loving your channel and it reminds me a lot of FoC and this is meant as a huge compliment. You both have soothing voices. Great research. The images and video clips you choose are great and entertaining. I am learning a lot and I find it very relaxing. When you mentioned your newsletter at the start of the video I actually thought about signing up for it (and I will) and I've never done that from a RUclips channel or anyone. Just want to say that I am truly enjoying watching your content. I think you do an amazing job and I'm looking forward to watching it all.
With your voice I don't even mind listening to the commercial even though I have no interest in war or video games. You make it seem interesting as with everything. Thank you for all the hard work to bring ancient history to everyone. You do an incredible job.
I watched thousands upon thousands of videos, and you are the most passionate narrator I’ve ever heard. What we’re learning about our world is beyond mind blowing. Keep it up, please!
I hear ya! I've been completely hooked on these ancient sites. Have you seen the BAM documentary about the unbelievable connections between these sites?
I’ve listened to this like 10x. It’s loaded with incredibly descriptive details that helps paint a picture in my minds eye. You’re voice is perfect for narration especially with history.
This channel has come to be a absolutely outstanding Historian channel! Well done Pete all Your hard work and dedication over the years has served You very well, I think I speak for a lot of us who listen & watch Your amazing videos. We can’t thank you enough for your hard work, time, & perfection on each & every video it’s just amazing & for a one man team, I tip my hat to you Sir… Thank you so much Pete keep up the excellent work 🙏🙏👍
You and Fall of Civilizations are my favorite podcasts by far. I would love to see you guys collaborate on a project, your styles are similar and I think you'd both deserve equal professionals.
Love Fall of Civilizations as well. History with Cy is another one of my go to’s. If you like history (which I’m guessing you obviously do) he doesn’t have a RUclips channel (I don’t tbink…) but Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History podcast is easily one the best out there!! Cheers from Canada! ☮️🙏🇨🇦🍻
Thank for this phenomenal history dude. Got to be so careful these days. So much soft propaganda is disguised as education or history but your well researched, concise, informative & beautifully presented videos are reliable, scientific & non biased allowing knowledge to speak for itself through your skilfully produced professional posts… warm regards & my sincere thanks 🙏🏻
Could this be Pete’s Magnum Opus?! Absolutely beautiful and all I want to do now is learn even more about this time period. I’m also impressed that he was able to pronounce “Gobekli” accurately each time. I always move the L to right after the B.
It’s weird seeing a face belonging to the voice. A voice that ethereal seems like it belongs to time itself. I get a sense of awe and wonder and unrequited memories thinking about the long march of eons before our time. And your narration strikes a *perfect* chord with that feeling. Really, you do an amazing job with these videos. Thank you!
The background music, the repetition of images, the soft-spoken voice combine to create a trance like atmosphere. The narrative with its endless speculations also creates a dreamlike feeling. Into this are cast many interesting theories, archaeological tidbits and stunning videos of the sites and artifacts. The weaving of all the elements is very impressive, and I'll be following up some of the works cited.
@@wendellrider1212Well the fact is, is that we only have educated guesses and scientific hypothesis to go on and those are the legitimate "speculations" he mentions.
I lived in Turkey for a year and as I watch I feel so privileged to have been in the presence of such amazing history. I feel it wash over me. My stunning first view of Constantinople lives in my head and heart ever since. It rewired my brain. I loved being there. Every memory is a gift.
@@kieranh2005 oh really?! It was also called Lygos, New Rome, Augusta Antonina, Kostantiniyye, Stambol. Why Constantinople then?! And it's clear that it's not history we're talking about. So, İstanbul is what it is.
Your presentations have peaked my interest so much, they are so well made, interesting and captivating Sir, I've little interest in anything else, I can't thank you enough for giving my spare time a meaning again, I can't wait each day to settle down and peruse your work, you should be immensely proud of yourself. 👍❤️
this video is missing so much information. First of all, in the beginning, he should've mentioned that it was found in Turkey. Second, "Gobeki Tepe " it's not a temple. Third, It shows at least 12 thousand years of human existence, not 10 thousand. Fourth, the head was stolen by German archeologists, then they just paid some amount of money back to Turkey in return.
@@estheroz7119 its missing one more thing, besides mentioning just Turkey, it should have mentioned MODERN Turkey, because back in the time Turkey didn't exist, no such nation existed on this land (and anywhere else for that meter).. and since it is about this monument, it should have mentioned the nation to whom this land belonged back then
Always look forward to a new post by you, Pete Kelly. your devotion to your subject is amazing. As a lover of history, both ancient and modern you are one of my favourite sources of new information.
I was in Göbekli Tepe last summer.It's a fascinating place,everyone should definitely visit it.Come to see the beginning of civilization with your own eyes and stare for hours...
So excited about this, can't believe it omg! I've been looking for a material like this about Gobekli Tepe for a very long period. Its real history is fascinating enough without all that new age misinformation. Thank you so much for the hard work!
This might be your best work yet. This is a fantastic presentation that puts together an awful lot of material, and is stunningly up-to-date. So glad you're doing this, thank you so much.
Been to the site some years ago. When there, you feel truly humbled by what these ancient people created with such primitive tools. Loved the whole documentary, great work!
Yet there are things around the world today that we can't replicate with anything other than modern tech and sometimes we can't even do that. So how did they get diamond cut precision on some things without diamond tipped tools. Because these sites around the world are of the Pre-flood civilization. Apparently you don't know things like modern concrete structures would be dust in 200yrs. The empire state building would be nonexistent in 10k yrs, no evidence of it there. You're seeing only what's survived. That also doesn't mean they had diamond tipped tools, but a lot of this stuff can't be done with known "primitive tools" that much we do know, cause we've tried to replicate. @@020Dutchy
These video are some of the best produced documentaries ive watched. premium quality. your videos are art in themselves. you well deserve your sponsors
Only an hour in and am already impressed with how well presented this is. Thank you for your obvious commitment to staying factual and not going down the speculative rabbit holes I have seen on this topic.
This was so refreshing, not to have assumptions tossed at us but instead "what-ifs" and comparisons to other ancient sites and cultures. Brilliant work!
Dear pete. Another fantastic Documentary as usual . I am unemployed , so I can't offer you any funding. But i can recommend to all of my historian friends. Well done again. All the best. Mike
I absolutely cannot wait to sit down and watch this. I’ve been fascinated by göbekli teke for years and to have one of the best history creators cover the subject is sublime. TYVM @historytime
Sir, your voice is perfect for these mysterious narrations. your work and skill are amazing, Ive seen lesser documentaries on multi-million dollar networks. Your documentaries are facinatng, very well layed out and narrated amazingly to someone who is low income and can watch this pretty much free, is a true gift. The fact that you essentially create these alone is what makes your documentaries even that much better. Another great thing is I can simply listen to your documentaries and they are still good. I "collect" knowledge like nature intended my brain to do. Thank you.
Wow! Amazing documentary! Very interesting subject matter and never a dull moment for such a comprehensive work. The production is professional and extraordinarily well done across the board (content, script, narration, special insights & analysis, etc).. It is hard to imagine how anyone could have done all this own their own, but no doubt you are exceptional. Congrats for a job well done and thank you for such a wonderful experience!
After decades of casual amateur anthropology interest and study, this basically transformed my understanding of how advanced and widespread hunter gatherers truly were. I had a suspicion of the nature of ancient hunter gatherers being truly more than the public thought, and now my suspicions have not only been confirmed, but my eyes have been opened even more as well. Im kinda blown away so to speak.
Already watching a second time... fantastic video man i loved it. You're definitely one of my favorite channels on youtube, and you definitely make the best long form history content I've ever seen.
Fantastic and thorough deep dive of Goblekli Tepe and ancient humanity! Thank you so much for your point that many of our ancient relatives most likely held equal creativity, philosophy, and intellect to us today. This is a point often undermined in many of the "historical documentaries" of today.
I was having an average kind of weekend working on the construction site today. I get home and out of the shower to find a new History Time video dropped and my weekend has turned fantastic! And 2 1\2 hours!!!! On Göbekli Tepe!!!! Awesome!!! Thanks Pete!!!
Everyone else has already said it best - this is - well, you are - extraordinary. But i just need to take a moment and add extra appreciation for your exquisite voice. I could listen to you for hours! In fact, i do. And the music you use is a chef's kiss. Especially love your voice in the context of all this precious information but honestly I'd listen to you read the phonebook, too.

I hope that one day I can contribute to world understanding and empathy as exceptionally as you have.
Well said, I've already watched this twice and its not even 24 hours old, both times if found myself utterly captivated, hairs stood on end and regular chills down my spine, this is a masterpiece.
Love!
Yeah, what you said. Almost exactly!
Agreed 💯
I was visiting Carcassone, France, and bump a couple of Archeologists. They’ve found skeletons buried during Black Death. Tied a cross in chests and the very image scared the hell out of. It was amazing how preserved it was.
Bruh. We should all give this dude at least a dollar. This is amazing content done professionally.
Excellent job, sir. I hope these documentaries make you rich beyond your wildest dreams.
You first
Nope...we don't know nuttin.
Bruh? how old are you?
I only have 30 cents. 😢
1:07:05.....That relief carving done at least 10,000 years ago just blows my mind. Some carver was tasked with this job. His work now seen 10,000+ years be our eyes. Thanks History Time for making this available to so many of us. Cheers from Canada!
It is amazing! As someone who has no real artistic ability, I am so glad that our predecessors were not all like me! 😂
Where is cnanda?
All done before pottery and farming
It was firstly 14ooo but then they changed because history should rewrite and their technology was greater than today. Don't understand why Still insisting showing us people like half monkey!
Brilliant production, amazing site. Thank you.
Makes you wonder what other archeological gems might be hidden within the earth. Absolutely incredible!
It's really sad too. imagine you being one of the ancient people who was there and had experiences. You felt happiness, love from your parents and had experiences both good and bad. And then life goes on, more than a thousand years from now, no one remembers what you had or what you went through.
Imagine europe and the united states and all other countries like that. No one knows that the US or europe or africa was ever like that. Or that we had such fun and stuff.
@Opa_Joke interesting point you made, and yes, it's really quite depressing.
@@Opa_Joketrue. But that's life in a nutshell
@@Opa_Jokenow imagine all the civilizations we still don’t even know existed due to not finding any evidence yet
Makes me wonder how many times we have been reset..
I've been waiting on this documentary for at least a decade. The fact that you're the one that created it, makes it everything I could have ever hoped for
The kid me thirty years ago would’ve never believed the quality and depth of the history content I’d have access to later in life. What a time to be alive.
This might take me an additional 12,000 years to watch in its entirety. I have health issues (including just being an old man) that make me prone to nodding off and your voice is so soothing LOL. There is so much fascinating stuff I don't want to leave my chair to shake the drowsiness lest I miss anything. Not only is your content superb, your narrations are the best thing on line YT or otherwise. I have fallen asleep about ten times haha but I've made it 2/5 of the way in the past days. Change nothing, and thanks so much.
Yeah its taken me several nights to plow thru this. its kind of nice though to savor it
It makes me not want to sleep but I can see myself watching a few times
Agree-the voice is very soothing; fortunately, the material is so fascinating!
Preparing a video like this takes so much time and effort! It's like writing a literature review paper/video that is appealing to both scholars and laypeople. Well done!
"An anthropomorphic being from an early time. Unfortunately it's head was missing." Very stunning coverage and display. Came for a snapshot. Stayed for the entire show.
What happened to the head? What a mystery...
Your programs are phenomenal. They should be shown in schools. I have always been interested in the civilizations of ancient Turkey- this will be a welcome addition to my history studies. Thank you for making this! 😊
There is no ancient Turkey 😂 Turks are nomads from the stepes of central Asia first time they went in Asia Minor is before 1000 years.
You can talk for ancient Anatolia or ancient Asia Minor but not ancient Turkey 😂

Can't wrap my head around this beyond amazing video-documentary. Imagine the farmer discovers one of the most important artefacts in history. Imagine the Imam does not destroy the statues but sends them to the museum. Imagine the museum overlords telling the landowner these statues are worthless. Imagine the landlord to save pennies leaves them at the museum and drives back in the cart. Imagine a German archaeologist sees them. The hairs on my arms stood up when I heard this. Hats off to this one man army who is making history with these videos. Sir, you have our full respect.
i swear it feels like a holiday whenever you post. your videos are quiet moments for me in the hectic lives we all live. i have so many great memories of sitting down to one of your videos (new or old) and just breathing for three hours. they're incredibly researched, visually stunning, and so captivating; i'm always fully immersed in the worlds you bring to life. thank you for making this accessible to everyone! i don't think i'd ever learn about ancient history in the depth that i have if it weren't for your channel. thank you thank you thank you for being such a bright part of life.
This is such an amazing, well-researched, and informative documentary. I really can't recommend this video or this channel enough. This channel deserves 50 million subscribers. You can't go wrong, and you can't get a more eloquently or evocatively-delivered synthesis of so much scholarship, paired with excellent visuals and appropriate, enriching audio elements. An outstanding production all around!
Really? Because I find the guy pompous and condescending just a few minutes into this. I can't help paying special attention to what relates directly to the FACT that this monument wasn't supposed to exist. The historians and archeologist where wrong about the history of permanent settlement, technology, cataclysms, and agriculture. I have seen what clever people can do today- and we have not got any smarter for 350.000 years. We did lose our fur though. Unmatched marathon trekkers. We can eat nearly anything. Even each other. That's how our species conquered this world becoming the top predator. Sweat glands. Not intelligence.
We can escape cataclysm in replacement numbers, and we have. The human genome project found several bottlenecks in our shared genetic history.
This video is basicly just about trying to claim anything big or old must be religious in nature, and that the population that built major infrastructure wasn't even agrarian yet. Witch is just fucking stupid. Honestly.. At a certain point it's less face lost by academia by admitting they where wildly off on the history of technology. People forget. Being wrong like that isn't trivial. It's akin to saying the roman empire at it's hight was a stack of mud huts reinforced with straw and human feces where they had no knowledge of proper hygiene. Then excavating a roman bath claiming it's clearly a temple to some forgotten god. I mean.. Common!
Quite queer of you, Jesus.
I put this on when I'm cleaning and organizing. Your voice is so soothing. Helps me get so much done and learn too. I appreciate your research and delivery is masterful. Love from Grandma in Peru
I put it on as background noise while my babies sleep. Wonderfully enjoyable. Thank you!
I hope you’re happy and healthy grandma from Peru ❤

I just started this documentary, so I haven't gotten through all of it, but I just wanted to compliment you on your insane production values. Your script, narration style, and audio and visual quality are all so professional, I genuinely thought this was like a BBC or National Geographic- level historical documentary.
A couple things: huge props for the "aliens" meme. Nicely done. Excellent. Loved it.
Another thing I loved was the nuance regarding the dam project. How it yes tragically flooded precious archeological sites, but brought much needed water to the region, pointing out that most of the critics of the project were in themselves water-rich regions. It's not so cut and dry, and I appreciate your not wholesale condemning the dam project.
Knowing this is the quality of your work, I'm eager to finish watching the rest of this documentary.
Please keep up the fantastic work.
I'd only really briefly looked into Göbekli Tepe when I read that its discovery had dethroned the neolothic temples of Malta as the oldest free standing structures in the world, so I really loved learning so much about the site, as well as about the cultural context it may have been built in. Thank you for the wonderful video!
You are, by far, the BEST historical YT content creator. Thank you for your work. Another really great piece!
This might just be your best documentary yet. I have always been fascinated with the epipaleolithic and the neolithic, so seeing that you have made a 3 hour long video about it is an absolute joy. Insanely great work, Pete!
the really sad part is that 95-98% of our history is almost permanently gone. we didn't start keeping physical records of our presence until the last 6-7000yrs ago.
@@sunny-sq6ci And that's only certain civilizations. Remember, we know next to nothing about the histories of some peoples and even empires that existed less than 1-2000 years ago
Well done team! Absolutely amazing work. Thank you very much
not only that, but 90% of that has been lost or falsified to suit the whims of conquerors.
oh yeah he said Atatürk was not a dictator xDDD
Why’d I think this channel was a subsidiary of History channel, and didn’t know this was a one man channel!? That’s how high quality your video, especially your narration and voice is!!! You are amazing!!!!!!! Love your work!
If it were done by the history channel, it would have been about aliens lol.

At this point, it is the algorithm rather than a library or parents or friends or society that is imprinting a world view onto you. All the big tech algorithms control the evolutions of patterns of human behavior, just to optimize few parameters like engagement time, online shopping, likes, views, screen time.

Yes it is a good start. Otherwise there are older places.
Awesome content, thank you for your efforts 🙏🏼
Great work as always, Pete. Our house watches all your videos multiple times, but ESPECIALLY the longform videos. Keep it up, cheers, and take care!

Greatest history/archaeology channel on RUclips. Incredibly detailed, thoroughly researched, and so very fascinating! ❤

Very cool videos dude ❤
Hands down the best narrator out there. Paul Cooper a close second.

@@raffis15 what is the name of your documentary and your RUclips channel????
This is, by far, the most amazing/satisfying history video i've watched on youtube. the sheer scope of time we are talking about blows my mind. Thank you Mr Pete Kelly you are doing a great service to everyone interested in history. I also love every single one of your other feature length documentaries.
Well, I was already impressed, but if you are doing it all by yourself? Wow!! I'm not just impressed, I can't help but think about how much better you are, BY YOURSELF, than any legacy media pieces, that I've seen for years!! Thank you for your hard work, and your diligence to providing history, as accurately as possible!!
Simply outstanding work!!
First documentary form this channel that I've watched. Awesome. Reminds me of some of the great history documentaries I grew up with. Definitely one of my favorite RUclips channels now.
Amazing work. I don't think anyone is currently producing anything as detailed or informative as you are. This is beyond network budget quality and depth.
Fall of Civilizations does equally good work. I’m a big fan of both. Definitely beyond network quality.
Pete you are the GOAT of independent history documentaries. I have learnt so much from you and your videos. I will use them to teach my children history and develop the same fiery passion I and so many others feel when we watch these epics. Thank you.
Pls don't teach your kids with conspiracy theories
Your works are simply life changing. You give justice to under appreciated subjects like no one else can! The best part is someone with almost zero interest in history could watch this and enjoy every minute of it
Amazing work, Pete - congratulations! I have watched everything out there on Göbekli Tepe and this one is the new benchmark, by miles. I also absolutely love the "full-immersion" feel of your long docs , you just can't get that kind of depth with programs that are crammed into standard-length format. Thank you so much for being a rebel and doing it the way that these subjects deserve!
Pete, your work makes me such a better, happier thinker and world citizen. You have been my window out of the world of medical difficulty, the work and isolation of the pandemic, and the trials of parenthood. You have been an inspiration, a gift, and a friend to me and I will forever be thankful. May your work and soul be filled with joy, acknowledgment, and health.
Yours thankfully and sincerely,

Deepest sense of gratitude, Pete and team. Prehistory is my favorite and you covered it brilliantly! Hopefully more prehistoric sites are discovered so I can hear further commentary and speculations on such topics 🙏🏼
Of all the people who do “history” content, yours feels like proper History and is most certainly my favorite
I found the youtube channel Fall of Civilizations about a year ago and even though the videos are longer like yours, I watched them one after another for nights. I loved them so much and learned so much. Last night I was actually thinking of them and disappointed that they don't post anymore and this morning your video was reccomended on my feed 🙂 I am loving your channel and it reminds me a lot of FoC and this is meant as a huge compliment. You both have soothing voices. Great research. The images and video clips you choose are great and entertaining. I am learning a lot and I find it very relaxing. When you mentioned your newsletter at the start of the video I actually thought about signing up for it (and I will) and I've never done that from a RUclips channel or anyone. Just want to say that I am truly enjoying watching your content. I think you do an amazing job and I'm looking forward to watching it all.
Not just the content, your narration is incredible. Great work, and much appreciated.
Pete, this is glorious! What a ton of work you've done. Your narrative voice is soothing and the stories you tell are so epochal. I'm a big fan.
With your voice I don't even mind listening to the commercial even though I have no interest in war or video games. You make it seem interesting as with everything. Thank you for all the hard work to bring ancient history to everyone. You do an incredible job.
No question, THIS is your greatest work ! A ONE MAN TEAM outshines the best documentaries available !
I watched thousands upon thousands of videos, and you are the most passionate narrator I’ve ever heard. What we’re learning about our world is beyond mind blowing. Keep it up, please!

@@mr.anonymous9700 oh most definitely.
But he's also laid back at the same time. I'm just as happy falling asleep to is as paying close attention.
I’ve listened to this like 10x. It’s loaded with incredibly descriptive details that helps paint a picture in my minds eye. You’re voice is perfect for narration especially with history.
I love how you explain complex historical events in an easy-to-understand way. It’s such a great resource for history enthusiasts!
This channel has come to be a absolutely outstanding Historian channel! Well done Pete all Your hard work and dedication over the years has served You very well, I think I speak for a lot of us who listen & watch Your amazing videos.

You and Fall of Civilizations are my favorite podcasts by far. I would love to see you guys collaborate on a project, your styles are similar and I think you'd both deserve equal professionals.
I upvote this idea. Both of them would create an awesome historical episode!
Love Fall of Civilizations as well. History with Cy is another one of my go to’s. If you like history (which I’m guessing you obviously do) he doesn’t have a RUclips channel (I don’t tbink…) but Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History podcast is easily one the best out there!! Cheers from Canada!

I actually just looked it up and Dan Carlin DOES have a RUclips page now!! And it looks like all of his material is there too!
Totally agree. My favorites.

Long form videos like this are my favorite! Thank you so much for all the time, effort and research. Fascinating!
Thanks! Also, Mount Duku? Did someone at Lucasfilm read up on Sumeria? 🙂
Thank for this phenomenal history dude. Got to be so careful these days. So much soft propaganda is disguised as education or history but your well researched, concise, informative & beautifully presented videos are reliable, scientific & non biased allowing knowledge to speak for itself through your skilfully produced professional posts… warm regards & my sincere thanks 🙏🏻
Could this be Pete’s Magnum Opus?! Absolutely beautiful and all I want to do now is learn even more about this time period. I’m also impressed that he was able to pronounce “Gobekli” accurately each time. I always move the L to right after the B.
It’s weird seeing a face belonging to the voice. A voice that ethereal seems like it belongs to time itself. I get a sense of awe and wonder and unrequited memories thinking about the long march of eons before our time. And your narration strikes a *perfect* chord with that feeling. Really, you do an amazing job with these videos. Thank you!
Thats such a poetic way to put it, he really does have a great voice for this
What a fantastic and well produced video. Thanks for such a great job!
The background music, the repetition of images, the soft-spoken voice combine to create a trance like atmosphere. The narrative with its endless speculations also creates a dreamlike feeling. Into this are cast many interesting theories, archaeological tidbits and stunning videos of the sites and artifacts. The weaving of all the elements is very impressive, and I'll be following up some of the works cited.

One of the best ancient history documentaries I've ever seen! Fascinating. Gobekli Tepe has so much more to reveal too.
this video is missing so much information. First of all, in the beginning, he should've mentioned that it was found in Turkey. Second, "Gobeki Tepe " it's not a temple. Third, It shows at least 12 thousand years of human existence, not 10 thousand. Fourth, the head was stolen by German archeologists, then they just paid some amount of money back to Turkey in return.
@@estheroz7119
its missing one more thing, besides mentioning just Turkey, it should have mentioned MODERN Turkey, because back in the time Turkey didn't exist, no such nation existed on this land (and anywhere else for that meter)..
and since it is about this monument, it should have mentioned the nation to whom this land belonged back then
At 45:00 Turkish archaeologists are mentioned for at least the second time. A Turkish archaeologist is named just after Klaus Schmidt discovered GT.
Always look forward to a new post by you, Pete Kelly. your devotion to your subject is amazing. As a lover of history, both ancient and modern you are one of my favourite sources of new information.
I was in Göbekli Tepe last summer.It's a fascinating place,everyone should definitely visit it.Come to see the beginning of civilization with your own eyes and stare for hours...
That’s a theory of course. There are much older sites in Italy. Under ground cities carved out of solid rock.

So excited about this, can't believe it omg! I've been looking for a material like this about Gobekli Tepe for a very long period. Its real history is fascinating enough without all that new age misinformation. Thank you so much for the hard work!
Bravo, Pete! A masterpiece by every measure. Well worth the wait. This will be the go to video on the topic for a while. Great job, man.
The complexity of the site, and the quality of the carvings, makes it almost guaranteed that it is not the oldest or the first such site.
This might be your best work yet. This is a fantastic presentation that puts together an awful lot of material, and is stunningly up-to-date. So glad you're doing this, thank you so much.
I echo this point. Thank you ❤
Agreed
Me too, I shall watch it again certainly, Gobekli Tepe is fascinating, I do hope more films about the interrelated sacred sites.
Been to the site some years ago. When there, you feel truly humbled by what these ancient people created with such primitive tools.
Loved the whole documentary, great work!
Primitive tool 😂
"Primitive".... right...

@@justmeanna90 no pneumatic hammers or diamond tipped chisels have been found anywhere
Yet there are things around the world today that we can't replicate with anything other than modern tech and sometimes we can't even do that. So how did they get diamond cut precision on some things without diamond tipped tools. Because these sites around the world are of the Pre-flood civilization. Apparently you don't know things like modern concrete structures would be dust in 200yrs. The empire state building would be nonexistent in 10k yrs, no evidence of it there. You're seeing only what's survived. That also doesn't mean they had diamond tipped tools, but a lot of this stuff can't be done with known "primitive tools" that much we do know, cause we've tried to replicate. @@020Dutchy

Only an hour in and am already impressed with how well presented this is. Thank you for your obvious commitment to staying factual and not going down the speculative rabbit holes I have seen on this topic.
Lol... All archeology
is speculative to one degree or another .
This was so refreshing, not to have assumptions tossed at us but instead "what-ifs" and comparisons to other ancient sites and cultures. Brilliant work!
This has to be an example of someone who is absolutely in love with the process. What a beautiful piece of work!

I absolutely cannot wait to sit down and watch this. I’ve been fascinated by göbekli teke for years and to have one of the best history creators cover the subject is sublime. TYVM @historytime
Sir, your voice is perfect for these mysterious narrations. your work and skill are amazing, Ive seen lesser documentaries on multi-million dollar networks. Your documentaries are facinatng, very well layed out and narrated amazingly to someone who is low income and can watch this pretty much free, is a true gift. The fact that you essentially create these alone is what makes your documentaries even that much better. Another great thing is I can simply listen to your documentaries and they are still good.
I "collect" knowledge like nature intended my brain to do. Thank you.

After decades of casual amateur anthropology interest and study, this basically transformed my understanding of how advanced and widespread hunter gatherers truly were.

Fantastic and thorough deep dive of Goblekli Tepe and ancient humanity! Thank you so much for your point that many of our ancient relatives most likely held equal creativity, philosophy, and intellect to us today. This is a point often undermined in many of the "historical documentaries" of today.
I was having an average kind of weekend working on the construction site today. I get home and out of the shower to find a new History Time video dropped and my weekend has turned fantastic! And 2 1\2 hours!!!! On Göbekli Tepe!!!! Awesome!!!
