The Cradle of the G-ds

In a National Geographic program called "the Cradle of the Gods", National Geographic talks to a number of experts on the subject of Gobekli Tepe. Professor Ross who is the person giving us the information in the program repeatedly tells us that he thinks, the scholars surmise, the theories say, the scientists believe, but he never is willing to take a stand on the subject. What he does say is that Gobekli Tepe completely stands the current science on the origin of religion on its head. The atheistic program claims that what they have found is the first sign of how man created his gods. 

In reality, what is shown, in every case, has alternative explanations which are just as reasonable and logical as the ones presented. Let us begin with the two standing pillars in the temples in the oldest part of the complex. They are clearly meant to be humanoid, but there are no eyes, ears, noses, or mouths on the head. The body itself has hands and arms and legs and generally some animal that it is dealing with or carrying. The commentator argues that over time (500 years) these 18 foot tall pillars will get eyes, ears, mouths, and noses. It is just as likely however that these pillars represent something else. 

In the same part of Turkey live the Yazdani. They have a religion that is reliably datable to well before Zoroastrianism. Some say it could date back to the time of Gobekli Tepe. It has Seven Archangels said to have come from the sky and having returned to the sky. It is just as logical to claim that these Archangels are spaceman with helmets on their heads in which case there would be no mouths, eyes, ears, or noses. My evidence is just as reasonable as the so-called experts as they do not know what these pillars represent and say so. But as is so often the case, they live in a tunnel-visioned world. 

These temples have generally 13 smaller pillars around the side, but these rooms are bigger than any house that will be built for the next 5,000 years. These 13 smaller pillars may represent 13 half humans and half aliens. Genesis 6 records a legend about space people, called sons of heaven, coming to earth and having children. They were giants according to scripture. Perhaps that is what these additional pillars are meant to be. 

The commentators comment on the amazing technological advances that these so-called hunter-gathers would have to have to build these temples. They say that building a temple could have taken about a year for 50 people dedicated to building it. However, these are hunter-gathers and would not have been able to put in 300 hours per year building this temple with 50 of their close relatives and still have maintained food for their family. So we are talking about skilled workers who spent may be ten to twelve years each in building a single temple and there are 20 temples on the hill. We are talking about a commitment of 50 people for 200 years. I find that difficult to believe. 

In addition, they were using mortar and there is no indication that hunter-gathers ever used mortar between stones, much less built in stone. 

The stones had carvings that stuck out from the rest of the stone but were part of the original working. The argument that these pillars were built in 30 hours challenges belief. I do not think a skilled sculptor could have made these pillars in short of a year. There were 300 pillars. We are talking about 300 years. 

Next they argue that the labor force came from Harran, now called Sanliurfa. Harran is 15 miles away. There is no indication that these workers stayed overnight, had campsites, or did anything for an extended stay. 

There is reputable evidence from the MidEast and from Michigan that giants some 8 feet tall existed at some time in the past. 

All in all,  with all the failures that these same scientists have in dealing with decades of false information on the origin of civilization and with the possibility of alternative explanations, I urge my readers not to make any conclusions on Gobekli Tepe or on the origins of civilization at this time. There is simply no experts and everyone has a right to speculate.
