    Thanks for the presentation, yet the animals are metaphorical. Gobekli Tepe is clearly a memorial of the Younger Dryas Impact Theory wherein enclosure D shows one of the central monoliths, representing the sun, stands domineeringly on top of the seven 'ducks' (dodo birds) which is a symbol of the Pleiades that is the radiant of the Taurid Stream. The tangent monolith is the adversary with a bull on its chest being a symbol of the constellation Taurus, the sky bull with the Pleiades on its back which brings devastation to the earth. The two monoliths show the fight between the comet and the sun within the inner solar system and surrounded by the twelve constellations. Many cultures around the world tell the same story and point directly to the Pleiades as the causation of the catastrophe. I am really surprised trained mythologists do not see this.

What if the animals on the stones in the enclosures are like they were on the Arc. Perhaps the entire site represents an outline of the arc, animals and cages. In other words your looking at a representation of the entire arcs lower level. It’s possible also that they had live animals within these enclosures.

      It's also called the 2nd Holy Land, since much of the Bible takes place in various places in present day Turkey. Turkey plays a very very big role in the Holy Bible. Most Turks dont even know that. I find that strange lol
      Also, don't believe everything this man says. Hunter gatherers suddenly made lime, mortar and knew how to waterproof? They worshipped ancestors yet human bones were in the fill? Where did they get all the wood to roll those stone pillars on over to the "work area"? There's so much more but I'll spare you .

    Thank you, Mr. Yenen.

It is a great relief to see a factual, unpretentious, science-based analysis. This was as good an overview as I've seen since Klaus Schmidt died. Great work. Hope there are more of this sort coming.

A very good historian called Dr David Miano did not like it when i suggested the site also implied agriculture of some kind. I really hope excavations contine at what must be the most important site discovered in terms of our ancient past. Thanks again Serif....peace to ya.

    Thank you Serif! Your presentation both Part 1 and 2 was wonderful. One of the best on Gobekli Tepe on the internet!!! Very factual, concise, and current. You summarize all the known, logical opinions very well. It confirms my view that there is a big, big, missing chunk of human history that we have no idea about!!! No way could Neolithic people create this! They can't even make clay pots but they Terrazzo floors with special motar? Not to mention carving these intricate carvings with rock tools? And the size? I don't think so. Not to mention the astronomical alignment of the structures as some have mentioned! Clearly the work of ancient civilization!!! You didnt mentioned the handbags!!! my favorite. Best wishes and keep up the great work! Cheers.

    At 23.05, for the famous “hand bags” pillar, I have a suggestion. These shapes are shields with handles to defend humans from dangerous animals and/or hiding screens to creep upon birds to catch them. There are four reasons; first there are animals hitting their heads against these shields, second there is a field of grass right underneath and ten shields hiding humans behind are making a wall to creep upon birds. Third that in a recently digged wall in nearby village there is a carving of human attacked by two loins, and right beside, there is a human defending himself against a big animal holding a same shield with handle, though the shield is depicted at side view hence a thin line can be seen. Fourth, the reason the handles are a bit shorter than the shields is because the handles are where the hands can hold it, while the extended shield is to cover the lower part of the body.

    When I was a kid in Pennsylvania we used to go out to the Amish/Pa. Dutch area to a place called the Green Dragon, which was a Stock and Produce Market; a place where all the Amish farmers would bring their Calves, Foals, Chickens, Goats, and Sheep and also bushels
    of produce, like corn, oats, beans and barley. Then they would auction the different lots of whatever off to the highest bidder, just the same way as we have Estate Auctions still today.
    One of the coolest parts about the Green Dragon (aside from its name) was the way they would identify what was being auctioned in the various barns. The buildings were very open-aired structures with 2 parallel walls and then a 3rd wall connecting the one end. But the other end was left mostly open to provide ventilation. (Have you ever been in an enclosed barn full off cows and pigs, etc.? without providing for ventilation??
    But in order to identify which animal or crop was on auction in the various barns they had painted a simple diagram of whatever it was. I specifically recall a painting of a young calf bounding up and down on the Big Cow enclosure. Similar things were painted on the various other barns.
    Perhaps Gobekli Tepe was simply an Animal and Produce Auction-sort of place. ??

      Thanks for sharing your views. It may be possible, but just a small reminder: Göbekli Tepe animals were before domestication.

      How do you explain the vultures playing with human heads? btw... I love visiting Adamstown Pa and the Amish country. You are very lucky to have experienced the Green Dragon I've only heard stories.

    I was stationed in Pirinclik in the early 80s. Found my passion for cultural anthropology (stone age to neolithic are my primary interests), and archaeology. Had been to Urfa a few times. Thank you for sharing updated information. I wish I could go back and see the progress in the discoveries. I miss Turkey.

    Very excellent presentation! I wanted to visit Turkey to see the Hagia Sophia for years, but now I feel compelled to visit Gobekli Tepe even more. What a special place, it’s difficult to conceive of so many years going by. Will you be continuing on as a tour guide when the pandemic is under control?

    Thank you very much for taking the time to create this series. This might be the best fact-based lecture on Gobekli Tepe that I have seen so far.
    To me, by far the most fascinating archeaological site in the current discourse, possibly of all time.
    I hope that some day I can visit.

    I have just watched this video, parts 1 and 2. You are an excellent teacher and explainer! You have a great talent for telling us these interesting details. And you seem to be a good fellow too. Thank you very much. Also, I believe that these circles were to show appreciation for the animals that were killed so that they could eat and live. Could each circle have been filled with the leftover animal bones, until it filled up, and then they built more? Again, thank you very much.

    Do you give tours? Or, could you recommend someone? It would be an honor and thrill for me to have such a knowledgable guide.

    Thank you for this. It's nice to get a look in.
    If I was a farmer or a hunter I would be on the move all of the time. Ceramic pots in a place full of rock and animals would not be a wise choice. Skin bags for water and wooden bowls for food. To me it doesn't reflect on the technological sophistication of the people. This indicates, to me, they were mobile to some degree. Language has the most clues for me and in this case the symbols used. Why is it the greeks were deemed so sophisticated when they placed the constellations in their art?
    Wild boar : andromeda
    Bull : Taurus
    Snake : Opiuchus or Serpens
    Bird : Corvus of Cygnus
    Lizard : lacerta
    Any of the Canis for any dog like figure
    And the lion : leo.
    Everybody is in awe of the summer solstice effect in ancient constructions around the world but the Sun was merely a starting point for construction. There were shaman, druids and brehons down through the ages versed in the stars and which constellation was moving along the equinox. It triggered seasons time for conception and harvest time. I'd imagine the height of winter was not a good time for having newborns. Wild hungry animals and freezing temperatures long before the season of plenty.
    These monuments depict violence but no more than greek and Roman art and we know what those power hungry people got up to!
    This is sophisticated! Geometry, physics, art, architecture, astronomy and people management and we deem these humans primitive!
    We need to rethink our history!
    This was the only inclusive video I've seen on Gobekli Tepe. Distant shots and self righteous conjecture is all I've listened to. Nice to get a concise, objective and open minded view on this great place!!

      I spent a couple of weeks in Turkey about 11 years ago with my then girlfriend Meritxell. I wasn't as passionate about ancient history at that time and spent the time fighting with her. Anyway, I married the girl and two kids later I find myself obsessed with all things ancient!
      I've lived all over the world and now that I'm grounded I can only depend on this medium till my kids are at a safe age to travel.
      Also.. I can't get my head around a flint carving a t shaped pillar! Next time you meet an archaeologist, that arrogantly assumes this an easy task, ask him/her for a demo!

      @@SerifYenen I might be wrong but some scholars tell me Phoenician history was deleted like Ireland's was. Erin/Iran/Aryan.
      We were sea farers in that time. We always knew horses. We knew our alcohol which means we knew our grains. We knew our astronomy(see the largest number of megaliths in Ireland). We knew our fish. We cried cockles and muscles alive alive o. Perhaps we knew 'murex' also and if we didn't - Stone's French parents did!
      I see great irony in the fact that an Irish man played the part of Alexander and it was directed by Oliver Stone and the movie was a complete flop!
      History takes care of it's lies!
      Whenever an entire population gets wiped out one should always play close attention as to how and who writes the story!
      By the by during the Irish famine the largest offer of aid was from the Ottomans in Turkey. It was intercepted by the occupying monarch at the time and reduced tenfold. Our population was halved but not deleted. Thank you Turkey!
