Gobekli Tepe The structures on this site were built about 12,000 years ago (10,000 BC) and intentionally buried with sand about 8,000 years ago. No one knows who these people were, what the massive buildings were for, or why they were buried. Just for reference, these massive structures were built during the last ice age and are more than 7,000 years older than any other structure we have yet discovered on our planet. After 13 years of work, only an estimated 5% has been uncovered. See: http://wimp.com/unexplainedstructure/ The information in this video has a profound impact on our knowledge of history. I haven't encountered anyone who has heard of this. Despite the lack of public awareness of this ruin, one can find much coverage on this by Googling. Wikipedia covers it well. Woody

Hi Woody I heard about this in the 90's; I have an interest in Neolithic Europe and it's sites. Been lucky enough to visit alot of them in Britain and France. These people were hunters; pre-agrarian culture so not farmers. This megalithic site has intimated that the inhabitants were asking the same questions we humans ask today "Who are we?" "Why are we here?" and "What does it all mean" Thanks for posting this and reminding me of it. I will go and update myself on the excavation.
