Bob's Red Pill #15 - You’ll Forget Göbekli Tepe and Be Happy
by Crypto Psi
You’ve likely heard of Göbekli Tepe, the archeological monument located in southeastern Turkey. Discovered in the 1960s, its true age and significance wasn’t fully realized until 1994, when Klaus Schmidt began further excavations. It is thought to be 11,600 years old, currently one of the oldest megalithic structures ever found. It contains impressive 3D relief carvings of dozens of animals and other figures, set on limestone towers over 16 feet tall, weighing over 10 tons each. Göbekli Tepe (GT) is twice as old as the supposed dawn of civilization, Mesopotamia, 6,000 years ago. This is the version of history we all learned in school.
GT is also by some measures one of the largest megalithic human structure ever created, by total area covered as revealed by ground penetrating radar technology — yet only 5% of the total site has been excavated by archaeologists. I hadn’t known that part until this week, thanks to researcher Jimmy Corsetti. I also didn’t realize that mainstream archaeologists are passionate about arguing against excavating the rest of GT, for a strange set of reasons. More on that later.
If you’re like me, you learned of GT from Graham Hancock. Graham’s central thesis is that the idea that pre-civilization hunter-gatherer tribes coordinated the construction of this immensely complex feat of engineering begs credulity. This is part of the oldest set of megalithic sites discovered yet, and it seemingly sprung up out of nowhere. There’s absolutely no reason to doubt that even older structures exist. Graham isn’t shy about his disdain for mainstream archaeological ideologies (seconded by Rare Candy), and archaeologists aren’t fans of Graham’s musings one bit.
Archaeologists seem to have taken the stance that hunter-gatherers were simply more advanced than we realized. Advanced enough to engineer complex 3D relief carvings into rock 6,000 years before the supposed “first civilization”. Sorry, this seems ludicrous. Mainstream archaeology is intent on fitting GT into a pre-determined model of history, essentially amounting to an ad hoc hypothesis. Much like early astronomers inventing ever-more complicated epicycles to justify clinging to a geocentric model of the solar system, modern archaeologists are determined to cling to a dying representation of our past. Science advances one funeral at a time, as Max Planck noted.
I need to stress the three-dimensionality of these carvings. This isn’t etched or carved into rock with a stick or stone, but rather, the art protrudes from the face of the stone. In other words, the artists and engineers had to remove the entire face of the limestone, sans carving, to create the final result. This reveals an immense degree of planning and abstract reasoning, as well as the existence of artisan and engineering sects of society, central planning, division of labor, and free time to complete such an immense project — if we’re assuming humans were the creators of GT. Regardless, the implications of GT should radically alter our collective understanding of human history.
A very underrated phenomenon of this site is that the artwork appears to have gotten markedly worse as time progressed. All the most intricate relief carvings are the oldest ones. This perhaps implies an initial transfer of knowledge, which was poorly replicated in subsequent generations. This is, of course, in line with Hancock’s broader theories.
Göbekli-Tepid Enthusiasm
Jimmy Corsetti triggered a massive discussion on the excavation of GT this week, and he directly inspired this piece. Excavation of GT peaked at around 5% of the total site, and according to those running the show, no further excavations are currently planned. An entire orchard of trees has been planted over parts of the site we know to contain unearthed pillars. Oh, and apparently the World Economic Forum is somehow steering the ship on this entire process.
It was known years ago that only 5% had been uncovered. Many like me assumed it would naturally be much more excavated in the previous half-decade, perhaps at least 15-25%. I had no idea how bad the situation was.
Archaeologists seem to love the idea of ceasing excavation on the oldest and most mysterious discovery of all time, I’ve learned just this week. Against my better nature, I found myself arguing with several of them online. According to them, we should refuse further excavation, and perhaps even backfill the site, preserving it for future generations to uncover it as technology progresses. We shouldn’t listen to the urgings of faux-archaeologists like Corsetti and Hancock, humoring them by digging up the site to satisfy their pet theories.
To that, I say: bullshit.
Remember, it’s every archaeologist’s dream as a young child to grow up and passionately argue against excavating the most important archaeological discovery of all time. Only weirdos like Graham and Jimmy believe in uncovering ancient mysteries. You aren’t a real archaeologist if you desire more than 5% of the site to be excavated.
You can tell the archaeologists give up the game by, as previously mentioned, using a horrible ad hoc reasoning to “explain away” the anomaly of GT, while simultaneously arguing against complete excavation of the site. They aren’t remotely curious about the mystery, they lost that impulse long ago, probably before grad school.
GT has been turned into a tourist destination. It has been covered by a large tent-like structure. Ironically, the deepest we’ve dug was to install the tent, and in the process of installing the tent supports, evidence of grain-milling and semi-permanent residence was uncovered. This is a huge revelation, as the assumption was that this was a religious site and nothing more. In the process of literally covering up the site, we made paradigm-shifting discoveries. Even a non-archaeological dig reveals new truths about GT. We have decided to actively cover our eyes and ears to the reality of our ancient history, by refusing to do actual archaeology. SAD!
I’ve always had a soft spot for Graham Hancock, and also enjoyed Jimmy Corsetti’s appearances on Rogan’s podcast. However, even I was a bit wary of Hancock’s intense hatred of mainstream archaeology. I’m starting to realize that he is 100% justified in his vitriol.
You don’t need to believe every Graham Hancock hypothesis to agree with the thrust of his logic. I’m not yet convinced of his astrological tie-ins to specific GT pillars. His broader point, that GT didn’t spring up out of nowhere, and likely had origins with paradigm-shattering implications, stands on its own. In any case, why not excavate and prove Graham wrong?
Klaus Schmidt v. Klaus Schwab
It sounds hard to believe, but it appears the World Economic Forum is in control of the GT archaeological site.
I’m very careful with “WEF” stuff. I have no doubt there is a cabal of evil people deciding the future of humanity nefariously, but the WEF became meme-ified in the wake of 2020 and COVID. They and Klaus Schwab seem almost comically evil, a parody created to trigger people like us. I’m always aware of the possibility of a reverse-double-psyop with this kind of stuff.
That being said, it does appear that the WEF tentacles have wrapped around the politics of GT. The Doğuş Group, propped up by the WEF, is on track to be the sole owner of the GT site. It is claimed that proper excavation won’t be complete for 150 years. Reminds me of the Pfizer documents taking 75 years to be revealed. And no, money isn’t an issue for excavating GT. The controlling parties at this group are worth billions of dollars.
I’m not personally sure how connected the WEF is to all of this, but I know they like to lie and gain control, and nothing good comes with any association with them. Archaeologists should be against this kind of relationship, but of course, their bigger enemy appears to be Youtuber Jimmy Corsetti for “spreading misinformation”. I’m personally interested in the WEF’s dealings before 2020 when they became a household name. It seems WEF news since the COVID era are more often than not bait. Still, ears to the ground.
Klaus Schmidt’s wife Çiğdem Köksal Schmidt is also an archaeologist and worked on the site alongside her husband. She was invited to tour the new GT “facilities” and was horrified with what she’d found.
I say ‘destruction’, they say ‘Doğuş is building road, that is what project is’. There is not a single archeologist, Ministerial Representative or museum officer. While even an archeologist can almost act only with a Ministerial Representative during a site excursion, are the construction companies granted permission to do whatever they want in the protected areas?
Shockingly, I only see mainstream credentialed archaeologists on twitter attacking Jimmy for his video, and not agreeing with the actual archaeologists who worked to excavate and preserve the site. Why aren’t more in the community speaking in agreement with Çiğdem Köksal Schmidt and against the “Bogus Group”? Ah, because Jimmy Corsetti is a misinformation spreader and we can’t signal boost him in the slightest! Of course …
Archaeology
Archaeologists don’t own the rights to ancient sites. They are the intellectual property of humanity and meant to be shared. Refusing to excavate the most important archaeological discovery in human history is a crime against humanity.
It seems like archaeologists are gunning for the title of “dumbest, easiest to despise expert-class”, perhaps outcompeting virologists, fact checkers, and MSNBC reporters. The snarky tone and assumption that wanting to excavate more than 5% of GT is “stupid” seems to be the go to strategy for “credentialed” archaeologists on social media. In researching for this article, I’ve come to despise them. They will be the last to admit that the general thrust of Graham Hancock’s thesis is basically correct — our human history is much much older than we could have ever predicted. Of course, he will get no credit from them when that time comes.
Final Thought
It wouldn’t be a Red Pill without getting really weird at the end. You know I’m a huge fan of remote viewing. I had to know if anyone had viewed GT, and was delighted to see Daz Smith dedicating an hour to the subject.
Daz is one of the most humble, professional remote viewers out there, and has been in this game for a long time. Of course, the target is completely blind to the subject, meaning Daz has no idea that he’s talking about GT when he views it.
I found this RV session fascinating, and tracks with many of the more esoteric beliefs I have on these subjects of ancient ruins. Daz tuned into several groups observing and “researching” a perhaps more primitive group, a “man” (original GT worshipper?). It seems to allude to some sort of subtle behavior modification and even potential genetic/energetic influence on the subject. Perhaps early man was influenced by external forces at places like GT, and perhaps this led to what eventually became modern human civilization. I had a smile on my face the whole time listening to this, so much of it is pertinent to GT.
Daz notes a transformational aspect of the target, with an almost dark, nefarious quality to it. Perhaps GT wasn’t totally benign.
For those skeptical of RV, keep in mind it has successfully found missing children and crashed planes. I believe ancient archaeological sites to be perfect targets for advanced remote viewers. I’m certain military intelligence is already doing this behind closed doors.
