I happened upon this article last evening.....an absolutely amazing archeological find in the plains of Turkey, described as possibly the most important dig ever.
10,000 years old, predating Stonehenge by 7000 or so years......
"The site of Gobekli Tepe is simple enough to describe. The oblong stones, unearthed by a shepherd, turned out to be the flat tops of awesome, T-shaped megaliths.
Imagine carved and slender versions of the stones of Avebury or Stonehenge.
Most of these standing stones are inscribed with bizarre and delicate images - mainly of boars and ducks, of hunting and game.
Sinuous serpents are another common motif. Some of the megaliths show crayfish or lions."
If you have any interest in archeology or the beginnings of civilization.....go and read the whole article....Religious connotations aside, although I will almost guarantee it will make you say "hmmmmm", this is way interesting.......

I get chills when I read things like this.......

Thus, when you put it all together, the evidence is persuasive. Gobekli Tepe is, indeed, a 'temple in Eden', built by our leisured and fortunate ancestors - people who had time to cultivate art, architecture and complex ritual, before the traumas of agriculture ruined their lifestyle, and devastated their paradise.
What is *that* guy smoking.....
Otherwise: wow, this is incredibly interesting!
