We're talking about a complex that is so vast that it's almost beyond our comprehension.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Mysterious subterranean dwellings that stretch for miles. We have multiple underground cities that have been discovered that are potentially 10,000 or more years old. Could recent discoveries provide evidence of a civilization that exist, far earlier than we ever imagined. Perhaps even before the biblical story of the Great Flood, at a time when humans shared the Earth with otherworldly beings. The knowledge for building these megalithic structures was imparted by the so-called gods who were the exterrestrials.
Starting point is 00:01:27 There is a doorway in the universe. Beyond it is the promulmonary. It is the promise of truth. It demands we question everything we have ever been taught. The evidence is all around us. The future is right before our eyes. We are not alone. We have never been alone.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Abu Shireen, Iraq. 6,000 years ago, this ancient mound was the site of Eridu, the oldest city of the Sumerian Empire. According to mainstream archaeologists, this is the cradle of civilization. Felicia Beardsley is a professor of anthropology at the University of Laverne. Many archaeologists will say civilization began in Mesopotamia some 6,000 years ago. It is built on small bands of hunter-gatherers, who then becomes settled in that area as kind of semi-sedentary community. They adopt agriculture, the population starts to grow, and we begin to recognize we need to organize our communities.
Starting point is 00:02:48 You start seeing these step-sided pyramids where the religious practitioner might conduct his rights or rituals and so on. And we have an urban planning environment that also means we've got a lot of engineering going on. We have a lot of science, a lot of mathematics, it has all of those elements we would call a civilization. Many researchers around the world believe there is evidence to suggest civilization existed
Starting point is 00:03:20 on earth long before the Sumerians. And one key source is the writing of the Sumerians themselves. Ancient Keneiform tablets list kings who ruled tens of thousands of years ago, And they tell of an earlier age when humans lived among powerful beings that came down from the sky, called the Anunnaki. This is Andrew Collins, author of Gobeckli-Tepa, The Genesis of the Gods. The Ananarchae were the builder gods behind the creation of the civilizations of Sumar and Babylon. They provided humanity with the rudiments of civilization. They gave humanity, animal husbandry, but also agriculture for the first time.
Starting point is 00:04:12 The Sumerians also wrote that the Arunaki were responsible for bringing a devastating cataclysm upon the earth. Erely similar to the story that would later appear in the Hebrew Bible as the Great Flood. This was only just discovered in 2009, when Dr. Irving Finkel, one of the world's foremost experts on Cuneiform writing, translated a 3,700-year-old Sumerian tablet. In the Bible, God decided because human race was so sinful and wicked to destroy everything, and the last minute relented enough to inform Noah that he has to build a boat really fast and put all the animals in and shut the doors. Then afterwards, life could continue when the waters went down.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Everybody in the world is interested in Noah's flood, and where it might be. have come from. So when this tablet came across the desk to me and I realized clearly how important it was, it was one of those heart-stopping moments. When I picked it up for the first time to look at it properly and started to read it, one of the first things you read is when a human being finds out from the gods up in heaven that there's going to be a dreadful flood and the world and all its life is going to be destroyed and a boat has to be built. So I'm I thought to myself, this is very exciting. The tablet is at least a thousand years older than the story in the Bible.
Starting point is 00:05:45 So, of course, this means that the question of where the story came from has a whole different explanation. Could the translation of this ancient Kenea form tablet be evidence that a great flood did, in fact, occur in the distant past? While nearly identical stories of a great deluge can be found in the ancient texts of many religions and cultures, mainstream archaeologists had argued that there was no evidence of any civilization existing more than 6,000 years ago to support the idea that such a cataclysm actually took place. But in the early 1990s, Klaus Schmidt of the German Archaeological Institute began excavations at the ancient site of Gobeckley Tepe in Southeast Turkey. And what he unearthed changed everything. Here is archaeologist Paul Bonn. Once Klaus Schmidt started excavating Gobeckley Tepe, it just
Starting point is 00:06:47 blew everybody away. Because we'd never before known or imagined even that people were 12,000 years ago could produce such spectacular monumental structures as you found at Gobeckley Tepe. Here is ancient astronaut theorist, Giorgio Succolos. It is the first archaeological site in the world that proves its age dating as far back as 12,000 years around 10,000 BC. The discovery and the official acceptance of Quebec-Tepi's dating has changed the history of archaeology. Robert Schock, Ph.D. is a professor of natural sciences at the University of Boston. This is indications of a major civilization at that remote time, a time when the standard historians all along have said,
Starting point is 00:07:43 well, no, civilization didn't occur at that time. They were just simple hunter and gatherers. They were primitive people, but we now have evidence to the contrary. It really did send shockwaves through the whole world of early prehistory, because we have never ever seen anything like this from anywhere in the world at that time, 12,000 years ago. Gobegli-Tepa's nearly two dozen enormous T-shaped pillars,
Starting point is 00:08:08 some weighing more than 20 tons, featured numerous carvings that include depictions of animals, human hands, and intricately designed symbols. Archaeologists estimate that it would have taken a team of 50 men an entire week to move just one of the monolithic pillars from the limestone quarry to the top of the hill where they stand today,
Starting point is 00:08:31 and over 300 hours to carve the bass reliefs. Roy Fisher, PhD, is a professor of anthropology at Loyola Marymount University. The structures seem to reflect coordinated effort among significant numbers of people, which is not how we typically imagine hunter-gather societies, which are usually smaller in size. For years, mainstream scholars maintained that Gobeckley-Tepe was a complete unique site. And while highly impressive, it was not large enough to constitute what would be considered a civilization. But then, in 2004, author Andrew Collins was shown photographs of a location that looked remarkably similar to parts of Gobeckley-Tepa. I was visiting Gobeckley-Tepa
Starting point is 00:09:24 and some children came up to me and showed me a picture of this T-shaped standing stone with this snake along the side. And I thought, I've never seen this before. Where is this? And it became clear that it was some unexcavated site in the Tecttec Mountains, which is about 25 miles away from Quebec-Lipe. And so I set out to find it.
Starting point is 00:09:53 And eventually, I came to this bare limestone hill. And as I walked up towards it, I could then see sticking out of the ground these heads of these T-shaped pillars, again, exactly as you see at Quebec-Tepi, and I realized that somewhere beneath this soil was something as grand and spectacular as Gbeckley-Tepai. For 15 years, only a small group of researchers were aware of the pillars protruding from the earth at the site known as Karahan-Tepay. When it was finally excavated, archaeologists were shocked once again.
Starting point is 00:10:35 In 2019, digging begins, and beneath the surface layers, the archaeologists start uncovering dozens of these T-shaped pillars. This is David Childress, author of Technology of the Gods. You have about 200 of these T-shaped megaliths, They're typically 13 feet high, weigh about 11 tons. You have other phallic stones. You have certain depictions of animals and some human faces as well. So we have really a pretty extensive sight.
Starting point is 00:11:17 The discovery of the vast megalithic complex made headlines around the world, as it was estimated by experts to have been inhabited somewhere between 11,000 and 12,000 years. ago, just like Gobeckley-Tepe. Both Karohan-Tepe and Gobeckley-Tepe are striking in beauty, striking in how massive and incredible those megalists are. And in my opinion, they are related. So it's also possible that at some point a long time ago, that entire region was one gigantic Take city.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Could these sites confirm the written accounts found both in the Bible and on Sumerian tablets of a sophisticated civilization that existed on Earth in the remote past? One in which humans lived alongside powerful visitors from the sky, but ultimately fell victim to a devastating cataclysm. Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and claim there is ever. evidence that these vast megalithic complexes were built with the help of other worldly visitors. Neveshia province, Central Turkey. Here, 300 miles northwest of the 12,000-year-old megalithic sites of Gobeckli Tepe and Karahan Tepe,
Starting point is 00:12:49 there is an ancient subterranean city called Darren Kuyu. That archaeologists believe once housed more than 20,000 people. people. First discovered in 1963, the maze of carved tunnels and rooms lies 200 feet below ground. Who built it and when remain unknown. Derunquio is a multi-leveled city that has existed since time and memorial. It was certainly used during Christian times, but there's also evidence that there's prehistoric activity going on at these places as early as 11, perhaps even 12,000 years ago, right after the end of the last Ice Age. Much like Gobeckley-Tepa, Darren Cuyu was thought to be an anomaly.
Starting point is 00:13:45 But in 2014, just six miles to the north, a local construction crew excavating for an urban renovation project stumbled across a strange series of carved rooms and tunnels. deep underground. Upon further exploration, they found a subterranean network, known as Kaimakli, which spans several miles and extends hundreds of feet below the surface of the earth, much like the nearby underground city of Darren Kuyu. This is Eric von Danakin, author of Chariots of the Gods. I was many times in the underground cities in Turkey.
Starting point is 00:14:27 And this is a fantastic experience. They are linked together between Dering Kuyu and Kaimakli. There are seven kilometers long underground tunnels connecting to two cities. Evidence that these cities once housed thousands of people has been further supported by the discovery of air vents and water wells that would have made it possible for people to live underground for years at a time. These are huge, vast cities that have been cut out of the living rock themselves. Who exactly built them?
Starting point is 00:15:06 The fact that Gubeckli-Tepi was built right at the end of the last Ice Age tells us that there is a possibility that there is a connection between these underground cities and the building of Gavecli-Tepi and Kara Han. It could have been the same people. Is there a connection between Turkey's mysterious underground dwellings and the extremely ancient sites of Gobeckli Tepe and Karahan Tepe? Could both have been built by a pre-flood civilization? But if so, who would have had the ability to manufacture such sophisticated structures?
Starting point is 00:15:47 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest the answer may lie within sacred texts that describe interactions between early humans, and other worldly beings. Uruk, Southern Iraq. In the early 19th century, archaeologists excavating this ancient city, unearthed clay tablets covered in a form of symbolic writing, known as cuneiform. It remains the world's first known writing system. When the tablets were deciphered in the 1820s,
Starting point is 00:16:26 they revealed a record of Sumerian daily life, names of important figures and rulers, and accounts of sky gods called the Anunnaki. Here is Jonathan Young, Ph.D., founding curator of the Joseph Campbell Archives. These clay tablets are 5,000 years old and more, and they tell of the arrival of the Anunnaki, the pantheon of gods. The chief was Anu. This is the sky god who came along and created everything. So the origin of the civilization on the planet came from the sky. William Henry is an author and investigative mythologist.
Starting point is 00:17:09 The high god of the Ananaki Anu presided over the divine council. There were a multitude of beings that came to this council. They deliberated with Anu. They made decisions for humanity. They intervened in human affairs. Karhan Tapai and Gebekli Teppai. are in an area that is well known for its mythology, which suggests that the Ananarchai were responsible for giving humanity
Starting point is 00:17:39 the rudiments of civilization. It was said that they gave humanity animal husbandry, but also agriculture for the first time, both of which we know occurred in the area of Gaubeckli-Tepi and Karehant-Tepi. At Gaubeckli-Tepe, there's a carving of these three handbags that appear above this bird-like creature. And what's fascinating about this is that you can find carvings of similar handbags about 400 miles to the south where the ancient Samarians lived. And there, the handbags are held by these winged figures with bird-like heads called Ananaki, and the bags are said to hold all the knowledge of the universe.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Professor Klaus Schmidt, the rediscoverer of Gebeckley-Ther, Tepé in 1994 actually wrote that he believed that the founders of Gubeckli Tepe were the Anan Archive. Similarly, the Bible also tells of early humans having helped from beings who came down from the sky, called the Watchers. The Watchers are the fallen angels who came to Earth and intermingled with humans. We are told that they are here to observe, and they're not going to interfere. in human development, although some of them did. They're also seeding humanity with knowledge that will help us to progress. Both the Watchers and the Ananarchai, who almost certainly were the same,
Starting point is 00:19:08 have been associated with this culture at Quebec-Tepa and Kara Han. And is it possible, therefore, that they are behind the creation of these sites? And if we consider the possible, that there was a huge cataclysm. The chances are the underground cities of Capadocia they would have been used as places of refuge. As mainstream scholars struggled to explain how people living 12,000 years ago
Starting point is 00:19:42 were able to carve out millions of square feet of rock from the earth and build sprawling megalithic sites. Could the answer be found in the ancient writings that describe our earliest ancestors receiving assistance from extraterrestrials. Perhaps further clues can be found by more closely examining the T-shaped pillars at the ancient sites and the curious features carved into them. Authors Andrew Collins and Hugh Newman have spent decades investigating ancient sites around
Starting point is 00:20:18 the world and have made multiple trips to Karahan-Tepa in Southeast Turkey. the last couple of years they've uncovered it only a small amount but enough to provide some remarkable insights into what was going on here in southeast turkey absolutely i mean it's like this is pieces of a jigsaw that's just waiting to be put together in september 2022 andrew and hugh traveled to the site together in search of further clues as to just who built it and why upon their arrival at Karahan Tepe. Andrew and Hugh were joined by local researcher Taha Ozewas. Taha. Hi, Andrew. Nice to meet you. Thank you. Nice. Hi, Hugh. Welcome to Karahan Tepe. Thank you and good to meet you. I'm absolutely astounded by this site, how vast it is, how
Starting point is 00:21:14 like immaculate it is, and how it is just literally one of the most astonishing places I've ever visited. We are seeing also on only one percent of the site has been excavated and we are seeing only now this tip of iceberg. But this is just just enormous everything that's here. We can see tepillars going in every direction and just think what is below our feet right now. There are really very well-carved pits and well-carved pealers around 200 tea-shaped pillars and some of them are visible on the surface. And if you do compare it to Gebegli-Tepi, it's got the tea pillars, it's got the enclosures,
Starting point is 00:22:01 it's got the remarkable 3D relief carving, the statues, the serpents and everything else. There are incredible images of different animals and creatures of the natural world. What do they mean? Most mainstream scholars identify the sites of Gobeckley-Tepay and car hunters. and Karhan Tepe as temples of worship. Others have suggested that the round enclosures may have been used as corrals for animals and that the T-shaped pillars once supported roofs.
Starting point is 00:22:33 However, Klaus Schmidt, the archaeologist behind the excavation of Gobeckli-Tepa in the 1990s, was certain that the T-shaped pillars represent human forms, but with some curious features. I think what What we see when we look at these T-shaped pillars is abstract human beings basically.
Starting point is 00:22:57 The heads are the actual T-shaped terminations. The stems of the stones are the bodies. Sometimes we see belts around them. But what's so weird about these is that the arms here almost seem like an abstract animal as well, perhaps a bird, perhaps a snake. On the side of the tiche we do see the arm and if we go down we're going to see the hand and the fingers. This is the interesting part of the hand. It has eight fingers and it was carved perfectly.
Starting point is 00:23:33 That is intriguing. And this is a tradition we find linked with giants all around the world. Even in the Bible we have the giant of Gath that had extra fingers. We have stories of Goliath and his family having extra fingers. We have stories of great Irish giant gods having extra digits as well. And the fact that the Watchers, the Nephlin and the Ananarchae would seem to be associated with the mythology of this region, suggests to us that they could be one of the builders of Farahentepai.
Starting point is 00:24:07 According to the Bible's Book of Genesis, prior to the Great Flood, angels known as the Watchers defied God's will and came down to earth to live among the huge. humans. These other worldly beings made it with their human subjects, producing a race of hybrid human giants that were known as the Nephilim. One of the most tantalizing small tidbits in the Hebrew Bible is found in the opening verses of Genesis chapter 6, where we hear the story of the Nephalim, who are described as basically being the... hybrid offspring of humans and divine beings who are called the Sons of God. This is Rabbi Ariel Bar Sadok, founder of the Kosher Torah School.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Who were these sons of God? Legend expands and tells us that they were rebellious angels. But yet we must understand angels to not be spiritual beings. but very tangibly physical, or else how could they take human wives and bear children? Now, the children of these sons of God and human women became known as the hybrids called the Fallen Ones, in Hebrew the Nephilim. They existed in the days before Noah. Here is Reverend Michael J.S. Carter, author of Alien Sorrel.
Starting point is 00:25:47 scriptures, extraterrestrials in the Holy Bible. Aside from the Bible, religious texts that talk about these demigoths, these hybrids, are the Hindu Upanishat. And if we look at Sumer, again, God's coming down from the earth, fraternizing with the natives, which are us, and creating a new race of people, half human and half extraterrestrial God. Yes, we can speculate. Were those who were to become known as the sons of God, originally inhabitants of a place like Karan? Does the eight-fingered figure found at Karahan Tepe provide evidence to support the biblical accounts of giants existing on Earth before the
Starting point is 00:26:40 Great Flood? And if so, might they have been involved in the creation of Turkey's mysterious site? both above ground and below. Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and claim that these hybrid beings not only built megalithic sites in Turkey, but all over the world. At the famous site of Stonehenge in Wilcher, England, are concentric circles of massive boulders, each nearly 13 feet tall and weighing up to 25 tons. On the island of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea, the Gigantia temples contain megalithic blocks weighing as much as 50 tons.
Starting point is 00:27:29 And on the remote South Pacific Island of Rapa Nui, better known as Easter Island, there are nearly 900 ancient stone statues that stand as tall as 30 feet high and weigh up to 90 tons. These ancient megalithic sites are thousands of miles from each. other. However, the local traditions of the indigenous cultures at each location claim that they were constructed by giants. It's fascinating that around the world, wherever you have megalithic ancient sites, there are local legends that the giants built these places. For example, in Puma Punku, they say it was built overnight by giants. They say,
Starting point is 00:28:18 say Stonehenge may have been built by giants. In Malta, they are suggesting that all this megalithic walls and structures were built by giants. This is Jim Vieira, co-author of Giants on the record. To me, what's astonishing is that you have ancient sites associated with giants building them all around the planet, but you also have historical documents that talk about the unearthing of giant bones at these sites, like at Balbeck, Lebanon, in Stonehenge, in Sardinia, you have these historical documents that talk about giant bones that were unearthed. We have an account from the American Geographic Society in the 1860s
Starting point is 00:29:00 where giant bones were unearthed and documented. Until recently, the megalithic sites in southern Turkey were hidden beneath the earth and completely unknown even to the local populations. So no record or ancient legends exist to explain how they were constructed. But might certain details, like the eight-fingered figures and the large stone head found at Karahun-Tepae, connect these sites with giants as well? Could they have been built before the biblical event known as the Great Flood? And with the help of the Nephilim, the hybrid beings described in the Hebrew Bible.
Starting point is 00:29:43 As we go around the world, there's talk about a race of giants involved in the construction of these megalithic sites. Also, what can we say about this? Were these the descendants of the builders of Carahan-Tepae and Quebec Leitepe? And did their giant genes get passed down from this early era to these other megalithic areas around the world? Curiously, many of the megalithic sites around the world have features that perfectly align with specific. constellations, star systems, or celestial events. Stonehenge in England was built to align with the sunrise on the summer solstice, as was the Temple of Imnidra on the island of Malta.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Pyramids in both Egypt and Mesoamerica were positioned to line up with the belt stars of Orion, and celestial alignments have also been found at Karahan Tapay, with the stone face that is positioned to align with the sun, at certain times of the year. One of the enclosure's structure at Corahann-Tepai points directly towards the sun as it sets at the time of the summer solstice. Another alignment is at the midwinter solstice
Starting point is 00:31:03 at Corahan-Tepay. The sun, just after sunrise on this date, would have illuminated this head so that anybody actually actually inside this shrine would have seen the head light up. These are people who are now watching the stars, they're looking at constellations, they're seeing the movements, they're studying it. In a way they become the first astronomers.
Starting point is 00:31:30 And that would be perhaps what Carahan Tepe was, in a sense, an astronomical observatory. But at the same time, perhaps they're interested in certain stars, because these are the stars, of the stars where the Ananaki came from. Could it be that Karahan-Tepa and other megalithic sites around the world were intentionally aligned to the stars to indicate that their architects came from somewhere far beyond Earth? Perhaps further clues can be found by examining one of the most curious mysteries regarding Gobeckley-Tepay and Karahan-Tepay, the fact that both ancient sites were
Starting point is 00:32:13 deliberately buried. In the Bible's book of Genesis, chapter 6, verse 9, begins with the story of Noah and the flood, in which God unleashes a great deluge to rid the earth of evil. In Genesis, only Noah is warned of the coming cataclysm, so that he may build the ark and restart life on earth after the flood. However, a very different story is told in the book of Enoch, a controversial text that can be found in the Bible used by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, but was omitted in all other Christian traditions. In this version of the story, Noah's great-grandfather Enoch learns of the coming cataclysm, long before Noah is even born. The book of Inok is sensational because he speaks of the first person.
Starting point is 00:33:12 He says it was evening. Then he heard the noise in the firmament. And two beings crossed him and he said, they had not the breed of humans. So if somebody does not breed like humans, what are they? Non-humans. Inok describes, they brought me over the earth. I saw the round face of the earth. Enoch was teached by the extraterrestrials.
Starting point is 00:33:40 When he came back down to earth, he told to the humans, a gigantic flood would come and destroy everything. One of the oldest religious traditions in the Middle East, Zoraastrianism, also teaches that it was not just one person who knew of a coming cataclysm. In the Vindidad, which predates all the books of the Hebrew Bible, A young priest named Yima is warned of a disaster by the god Ahura Mazda, who is often depicted seated inside a winged disc. Yima is instructed to share this information with his people,
Starting point is 00:34:18 and even to build an underground shelter that sounds very similar to the ancient man-made caves that have been found in Turkey. Ahura Mazda instructs Yima to build a Vara. This is a huge structure, two miles long, two miles wide. An underground hall of sorts where things can be protected from the terrible winter. Yema was to hide a remnant of the people and an extensive seed bank. Also, a pair of each of the animal species. Once Yima is finished building the Vara, he takes 2,000 people in, a representation of mankind.
Starting point is 00:35:02 So again, we have a warning to tell the people, get ready, this terrible cataclysm is going to happen. And these underground cities like Darren Kuyu are huge. They are vast. They go many, many stories underground. There's all kinds of streets and rooms. So you have to wonder if these underground cities served as a refuge for survivors of this catacetland. If a great civilization of humans and giants existed on earth long ago, is it possible that they received advanced warning of a worldwide cataclysm by an extraterrestrial race? Ancient astronaut theorists suggest the evidence of such a warning lies in the fact that both Gobeckley-Tepé and Karahan-Tepae were not overcome by the sands of time, but were intentionally buried.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Archaeologists are now pretty well certain that Gobeckley-Tepi and Carahan-Tepa were intentionally buried. Why do you do that? Perhaps they knew of an impending cataclysm. The flood of the Old Testament, we're told, was premeditated. People had foreknowledge that it was coming, and they were preparing for it, and they were trying to preserve elements of their civilization. It was intended for us to ultimately discover it later in the future.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Is it possible that the builders of Karahan-Tepai buried the entire site because they had been forewarned of a coming cataclysm and wanted to preserve some record of a civilization that was on the verge of extinction? A civilization that was, perhaps, far different from our own. There are legends from around the world that speak about a great, highly advanced, wonderful civilization that predated our own. We're familiar with this by names like Atlantis or Lomoria and the like. There are many legends which speak about the existence of giants. We know about them from the Bible, very famous story of David and Goliath. It is also said that in these days, many of what we today call angels walked among human beings openly. Now today we call these entities extraterrestrials.
Starting point is 00:37:30 When we see imagery from around the world and when we read about these things in the ancient traditions, we need to ask the question, is there some literal fact behind this? And when we look at these excavations today in Turkey, can we speculate that these were the remnants of that civilization?
Starting point is 00:37:52 These sites that we're talking about, these super ancient, super complex sites, they are telling us something. They're telling us about mythology, being true, they're telling us there's a larger story to the history of humanity. Now that Gobeckley-Tepé and Karahan-Tepa have been exhumed from the Earth after being hidden for more than 11,000 years, might we learn that the history of humankind is much different than we ever imagined?
Starting point is 00:38:21 Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and propose that new excavations in southern Turkey suggest that these sites have only begun to reveal their ancient secrets. Shunlerfa Province, June 27, 2021. Turkish Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoi appears before the International Press Corps to make an historic announcement regarding the ongoing excavations in southern Turkey. The Minister of Tourism for Turkey announced that we now have 12 sites, many of which remain to be excavated. And all of this forms part of what they call
Starting point is 00:39:08 the TAS-Tepila culture. Turkish authorities have been making a series of announcements of new incredibly ancient sites, incredible number of sites. We have at least a dozen sites now that are known. And what this is really reconfirming is that this was a massive. major area of early civilization. Since it was initiated in 2019 by Istanbul University,
Starting point is 00:39:38 the Gobeckley Culture and Karhan Excavations Project has determined that these ancient settlements cover a region that spans unastonishing 125 miles from one end to the other. This suggests that approximately 12,000 years ago, the area was an extensive and highly advanced metropolis. This site is absolutely massive. What we are working with right now represents perhaps 1% of the entire site. And they're forecasting, it's literally going to take centuries to uncover everything that is at Carahan-Tepe and Gobeckley-Tepe.
Starting point is 00:40:22 We're talking about a complex that is so vast that it's almost beyond our comprehensive. I love this idea of a megalopolis, a mega ancient city, where some archaeologists say, oh, that could have never happened. Well, maybe it did. And Quebecli Tepe, Karahan Tepe, and the other sites that have been found there was a worldwide city of millions of people. These excavations in the whole Tastepaela region are going to rewrite history. They're already doing so. They're like the smoking gun of an advanced lost civilization,
Starting point is 00:41:02 a super civilization, I believe, where there was highly advanced cultures, all working together, and you have to really question, if you're further they look, they're going to find evidence of these legendary anarchy, these extraterrestrial beings.
