Chapter 722 Ruins 12,000 Years Ago
Actually before Ye Zhen mentioned this place.
Celia already knew that Ye Zhen would talk about this place.
Because this place is more weird and incredible than the Sumerian civilization.
Before Ye Zhen publicly explained Sumerian civilization.
The previously recognized mainstream believed that ancient Egypt was the original civilization of mankind.
But the civilization of Sumer seemed to fall from the sky.
Directly surpassed the ancient Egyptian civilization at that time.
But even the Sumerian civilization, which was so advanced, was not as strange as Göbekli Tepe.
“Göbekli Tepe is a stone site located in eastern Türkiye.”
"In 1994, a local shepherd in Turkey."
"While shepherding sheep, a raised stone was found here.
At first the shepherd felt this A stone was very abrupt and strange.
I wanted to dig it out and take a look.
But as the shepherd dug it, he felt something was wrong.
Because of this strange stone, there is actually a long part connected underneath.
Because of this, the shepherd discovered something was wrong.
He suspected that this was an ancient ruins.
I immediately went to find experts and professors from the local university to come and check out this place.
Later, German archaeologist Smit was conducting archaeological work nearby.
Because Turkey has been a good place since ancient times.
After all, Türkiye’s predecessor was the Ottoman Empire.
It can be called Roman orthodoxy.
In addition, in the legend of the Bible, this is the place where Noah landed from the ship.
So many archaeologists and anthropologists have been coming here to do research.
Such is the case with archaeologist Smit.
He was doing research near here.
After hearing about this, he immediately became interested.
Went to the place where the shepherd found it.
After Smit’s investigation.
He found that this place had been recorded for a long time.
In 1960.
Archaeologists from the University of Chicago in the United States and the University of Istanbul in Türkiye.
Some cracked limestone slabs were found here.
It’s just that they only took a cursory glance at it at that time.
And made a judgment that this may only be the medieval period.
Just some tombs of the Byzantine Empire.
There is nothing of archaeological value.
So after just writing a report, it was over.
It was not until Smit looked up the information that he discovered this report.
If it were anyone else, they might just give up.
After all, this really has no archaeological value.
But Smit noticed something different.
In 1995, Smit organized people to excavate.
Later, if we didn’t dig, we wouldn’t know it. Once we dug, we unearthed a lot of huge stone ruins.
After carbon 14 dating.
Discovered that Göbekli Tepe was actually a site 12,000 years ago. ”
Relics 12,000 years ago?
This is the first time for some viewers to hear about such ancient ruins.
Some people took a breath of air.
"Hiss! A megalithic site from 12,000 years ago?"
"Is it actually from 12,000 years ago? This is impossible."
"Is this something from the Neolithic Age?"
>
“It should be a very shabby and small stone ruin.”
Some scholars know.
After Stonehenge in England was discovered.
It is already shocking enough.
Because Stonehenge in England was born at the junction of the late Neolithic and the Bronze Age.
But even so.
Stonehenge in England is only four thousand years ago. Some archaeologists have never heard of Göbekli Tepe.
At least they have heard about the Sumerian civilization.
But they have really never heard of Göbekli Tepe.
“Where did this huge stone ruin appear?”
“How come I haven’t heard of it before.”
"That's right, is there such a Stonehenge in the world?"
It is not that some ancient ruins dating from 8,000 to 10,000 years ago have not been unearthed in China.
It’s just that those ruins are too primitive and backward.
Basically only some broken pottery and stone tools were excavated.
The place where I lived was not left at all.
Because the ancient people at that time lived in caves.
Either it was built with some grass and trees.
After so many years, it has long since rotted.
Even the ruins of the Hemudu people are now just imaginary architectural drawings in our history books.
But Göbekli Tepe is completely different.
It was found to be 12,000 years old through scientific testing methods.
This has to shock some archaeologists.
Why did most people in the academic world not know this place before?
Don’t talk about Göbekli Tepe.
Even the Sumerian civilization is already considered a taboo civilization.
None of this can be discussed publicly.
Not to mention Göbekli Tepe.
In mainstream science, it is no longer possible to accommodate the Sumerian civilization.
Because the Sumerian civilization was too strange.
It suddenly appeared so developed, as if it had no source.
Before the Sumerian civilization, no trace can be found.
But Göbekli Tepe is five thousand years older than the Sumerian civilization.
This is already a very outrageous span.
Why is Göbekli Tepe not recognized by mainstream science?
Because agriculture may have started here.
Professor Zhou has a clear concept of 12,000 years.
“This is completely a prehistoric site.”
“A site of human activities 12,000 years ago.”
“Old Wu, have you heard of this one? Ruins? "
When Professor Zhou learned about the Sumerian civilization before, he was already shocked.
But now another site from 12,000 years ago has come out.
It’s still Turkey.
Although Lao Wu is a senior archaeologist, he has retired now.
But I still pay attention to some news in the archaeological world.
Old Wu shook his head, "The previous Sumerian civilization was secretive."
"But in the industry, we still know something about it."
"But I have never heard of this Gebekli Tepe."
Si Xiaoping said doubtfully at the side , "This shouldn't be possible, is it because this is a foreign ruins?"
"Just like some unknown ruins in our country."
"If it is not specially studied, it may be Didn’t know there was such a place.”
This is Si Xiaoping's view.
It is exactly what Si Xiaoping said.
Even some ruins in our country, such as Lingjiatan.
Although it is not a small ruins, it is not very famous.
Except for the locals, basically no one knows about it.
If it weren't for Ye Zhen, many people might have never heard of this place in their lives.
Lao Wu denied, "If it is some small ruins, or there is nothing special about it."
"It will indeed be as you said."
"But it is impossible for us not to pay attention to some special sites."
"Especially that it is a megalithic site 12,000 years ago."
