Proof That Karahan Tepe is Older Than Previously Thought (History Drops)

Proof that Karahan Tepe is older than previously thought. Ben Van Kerkwyk along with Brothers of Serpent, reveal to Matt Beall, why Gobekli and Karahan Tepe are older than previously thought. The dating is all wrong.



It looks like pre-pottery Neolithic people found these sites in ruins and then repaired and built around the pillars. Broken pillars were incorporated into the rock walls and the imagery carved into the large uprights were built over. There are also fantastic stone plates made from people who allegedly were from a pre-pottery culture. Perhaps the most interesting part of this clip is at the end with brief reference to Zernaki Tepe that is described as another Neolithic site, but with stonework similar to what you find in Egypt or Peru. Research into Zernaki Tepe shows that it was occupied for a thousands of years, into historic times, such that a lot more archaeological work needs to be done to uncover what happened there.
