NEWS: Göbekli Tepe Builders Influenced by Ice Age Siberian Migrants | Ancient Architects

Earlier this month, Göbekli Tepe made the headlines as two professors presented a new study in Istanbul, which showed the archaeological continuity of certain types of stone tools, called micro blades, from ice age cultures in Siberia to the 12,000-year-old site of Göbekli Tepe, implying that the origins of the famous Pre-Pottery Neolithic Site could well have been influenced by people migrating thousands of miles from the east. The hypothesis was presented at the ‘Proto-Turks Bearing Culture to the World Workshop”, which was held in Istanbul from June 11th to 13th.

They reached the Zagros Mountain region and from there they mixed with Hunter-Gatherers of SE Anatolia. The professors behind the study traced their route by analysing the types of micro blade stone tool technologies. In this video, I take a
