00:00.00 kinkella Hello and welcome back to the suudor archeology podcast episode 113 I am still your host Dr Andrew Cankella and we have been talking about go beckley tepa and we've gone over the symbolism of the site. How we think the site relates to um, hunting and gathering actually let me restart this whole thing. 00:34.60 kinkella Hello and welcome back to the pseudo archeology podcast episode 113 I am still your host Dr Andrew Cankea and we have been discussing gobeckley tepe now we want to remember that some of the symbolism. On the crossbeams on the on the large megaliths right? The large stones is pretty cool I touched on it before but these anthropomorphic figures and it's not just like vultures and scorpions. They also have like snakes on there spiders lions this kind of stuff. It's really dynamic. The iconography on these on these huge stones. What does that iconography mean I can't tell you and this. Is something that haunts us in archeology when we look at stuff like rock art right? and carvings like this we can tell you what creatures they are. That's great. We can look at it and go like that's a spider and in fact, it's an anthropomorphic spider again that it's it's sort of humanish but in terms of. You know why they're there. What do they symbolize? Do they symbolize different clans. Do they simplify? Do they symbolize different ah religious creatures mythological beasts. You know this kind of thing man. We just we just can't say but there is for sure. Symbolism there. 02:08.57 kinkella You know it's dynamic and it's interesting now with stuff like that and with archeologists being honest saying you can't tell 100%. You know we can tell this is ritual but you know we can't say the specifics of course it's a perfect time. For the pseudo archeology crowd to step in and tell you what it means right based on nothing. So of course oh if you've enjoyed as I have ancient apocalypse ancient apocalypse ruins go back late tap a just like it. Ruins everything else. It touches so according to Graham Hancock ah why do I bring us down like this you guys. Why do I do it. Everything was so great. We were talking about the neolithic and all its fantasticness. 03:03.19 kinkella And now back into the mud we go so according to Graham Hancock this site because it dates to like you know between ten and eleven and a half thousand years ago that it's. Too complex for the people of that time to have made it. He says that it must have been made by that ah by survivors from the advanced civilization at the end of the ice age right? How many times has he beat this drum. This horse is dead stop beating it. You know that this idea that there's this super complex civilization and they are wiped out at the end of the ice age there and again you guys I have to say this. There is no evidence for that 0 not a piece not assured not a fragment. Not a stone tool nothing from a pre. The. End of ice age advanced civilization. But according to him you you can. You've heard this story so many times that the people there couldn't have done it. You know he says according to us according to archeologists that. 04:25.93 kinkella These people were unsophisticated hunters and gatherers who lived in mud huts I've just gotten through telling you the exact opposite right? But that's how grandma he's got to set it up so archeologists tell you that these people were just simpletons. But in fact. What's funny is Graham Hancock goes with that extremely shortsighted and wrong view. He actually says yeah they were like simpletons they needed these magical people who survived the end of the ice age to show them the secrets of how to build things out of stone I guess and how to how to carve vultures. Couldn't just carve a vulture on your own you had to have a magic alien person tell you how to do it. You know so just just silly the the overdone I'm telling you this couldn't have existed and he says it's a reboot. This past civilization and I'm like no dude this is an initial boot. Okay, this is a 1.0 not a 2.0 not a two point five one point zero and to destroy your day a little bit further. Graham Hancock also connects it to the comet theory right? The idea that the comet you know, hit the earth and made the earth flood at the end of the ice age right? you you know this story and. 05:57.00 kinkella It's I guess go Beckley Tepe is able to arise out of the leftover ashes of the the comet and the flood that came from that so coming coming with symbolism on it that that mortal man of the time couldn't have possibly come up with. Because you know a lion. Yeah, that's a step too far but you see when when we have to deal with the story that foolish doesn't it can doesn't it just bring everything down. Don't you feel that you're like man. We're having this great ride. You know about the this dynamic early neolithic little ritual maybe communal structure. We're not quite sure and part of them being not quite sure is part of the greatness of it. You know the. But you know what later in the next ten years twenty years we're going to figure out a little more and there actually still is a lot of excavations to still be done in that area. It's still a dynamic site. You know they're still doing stuff. There. So the the next while has such cool stuff. s gonna come I I am very much looking forward to what they're gonna find at go beckley te a it's the exact opposite of this old tired foolish dumb story about the end of the last ice age what you know it's just it's just oh it just. 07:30.50 kinkella It's like smog it just clouds the air and it's just gross to breathe. You know I want smog free archeology. Don't you where we can enjoy this dynamic. Amazing site from ten thousand years ago and with that I'll see you guys next time.
