LONG BEFORE THE SUMERIANS
…
Until about 20 years ago, it was thought that 'civilisation' made its appearance with the Sumerians, about 7,000 years ago. But few years ago, on the border between Syria and Turkey, Göbekli Tepe and the neighbouring settlements were discovered. Everything has changed since then.
…
The oldest remains of Göbekli Tepe date back at least 12,000 years. Some monoliths found in the ruins depict human beings dressed only in loincloths. But 12,000 years ago, humanity was in the middle of the Younger Dryas (a small ice age). So, it is impossible for people of that time to have been walking around in just a loincloth. To be able to walk around dressed like that, the temperature had to be mild. But the last "mild" period before the Younger Dryas ended around 110,000 BC, when the Last Ice Age began. So at least some parts of Göbekli Tepe may date back to that ancient period.
…
At Göbekli Tepe ideograms were engraved, i.e., engravings that do not represent animals or things, but abstract concepts. These could be the first example of human writing, at least 5,000 years earlier than that of the Sumerians. The buildings at Göbekli Tepe are not made of wood, or straw, but are composed of limestone. Some pillars weigh as much as 20 tonnes. The inhabitants of Göbekli Tepe were able to build houses and villages out of stone thousands of years before the Sumerians.
…
On a stone slab called the 'Stele of the Cranes', the people of Göbekli Tepe tell of an encounter between themselves and 'beings from outside', from the sky, at the same time that a comet streaked across the sky. Moreover, the engraved tale alludes to a period of time when a comet bombardment wrought immense destruction across the Earth. How reliable is this story, which dates back at least 12,000 years?.
