Head of Field work at GOBEKLI TEPE, Dr. Lee Clare admitted to me in a Twitter convo yesterday that there is NO PLAN to fully excavate the site‼️
AND, he admitted that he doesn’t even want to!!
Gobekli Tepe is one of the oldest and most mysterious ancient sites on earth.
It is absolutely inexcusable to not fully excavate. We will never know what answers to our lost ancient past are waiting to be discovered.
This is INSANE.
📍 Look closely at all that dirt/rubble.
30 YEARS of “digging”, and THIS is all to show for it? You’re telling me they couldn’t have removed even just a little bit more?
At 12,000 yrs, this is the world’s oldest and most mysterious ancient site. Yet, there is absolutely no sense of urgency to uncover what lays buried, waiting to be discovered.
Meanwhile, Archaeologists are busy sitting on the couch…complaining over the internet about what I’ve exposed…yet none of them are actively digging up this site today, as they should be…
Can someone remind me of what Archaeologists actually do for a living?
The timing of my trip to Gobekli Tepe could not have been better
I was there to witness the last stage of the removal of 1,000 trees 🌳
What are the odds?
BREAKING: Authorities in Turkey have begun the process of removing and relocating 1,000 Trees 🌳 at Gobekli Tepe!
The Tree roots were destroying Ancient ruins below, AND, were preventing further excavation!
My videos on this generated tremendous controversy, which was clearly heard by the right people. This is a BIG Win!!! 🙌🏻
