GÖBEKLI TEPE - what happened in the 10,000 years before? | Göbekli Tepe to Stonehenge podcast #1

In the very first ’Göbekli Tepe to Stonehenge’ podcast, we aim to provide a context for the phenomenon of the T-Pillar sites of South Eastern Turkïye and to set the scene for the journey we are about to embark upon with the whole Göbekli Tepe to Stonehenge project (see below). As you know, in order to fulfil the promise of the GTTS project, our prehistory focus has shifted over to the Levant and the Fertile Crescent. And our tiny minds have been a little bit blown just a bit. We’ve never accepted the idea of Göbekli Tepe as this ’Ground Zero’ of civilization as it presents in the popular press and now largely in the public imagination. Or even worse, that it had to have been constructed by aliens (how could hunter-gatherers have made THAT?). But of course, there is a story that leads up to Göbekli Tepe, the other Taş Tepeler (stone hills) and other sites; one that stretches back a further 10,000 years, right to the shores of the Sea of Galilee. 00:00:00 - Intro & show outline 00:04:24 - Why the Göbekli Tepe to Stonehenge podcast? 00:10:46 - It didn’t all start with Göbekli Tepe 00:15:59 - Ohalo II 00:20:00 - The Epipaleolithic 00:23:18 - Archaeological sites of the area 00:26:05 - Zarzian Culture 00:27:04 - Available information about the Epipaleolithic 00:29:47 - Kharaheneh IV 00:32:58 - Natufian Culture 00:39:51 - Bread & beer? 00:43:27 - More about the Natufians 00:45:23 - Halizon Tachtit 00:47:04 - Tortoises 00:49:54 - The Younger Dryas 00:55:22 - Special buildings, silo storage and the Tas Tepeler sites 00:58:32 - Göbekli Tepe precursor sites 01:03:45 - Desert kItes and the hunting of gazelle 01:06:40 - Rounding up & goodbyes AUDIO PODCAST HERE: Help us make our film, GÖBEKLI TEPE to STONEHENGE at ... 🟡 BUY ME A COFFEE: If you want to show some love to the Prehistory Guys but don’t want the commitment of a monthly subscription (see Patreon link below), you can make a one off donation by following the link above.
