WAY BEFORE THE SUMERIANS
...
Up until 20 years ago it was thought that "civilization" appeared with Sumerians, about 7,000 years ago. Then, on the border between Syria and Turkey, Göbekli Tepe and the neighboring colonies were discovered. Everything has changed since then.
...
Göbekli Tepe's oldest remains date back at least 12,000 years. But some monoliths discovered in the ruins represent human beings dressed solely in robes. But 12,000 years ago, we were in the middle of the Younger Dryas (a mini ice age). So it's impossible that people walked around wearing only robes. To be able to walk around dressed like this, the weather had to be mild. But the last "soft" period before Young Dryas ended around 110,000 BC. -C. , when the last ice age began. So at least some parts of Göbekli Tepe could be traced back to this ancient time.
...
At Göbekli Tepe, we engraved ideograms, that is, sculptures that represent neither animals nor things, but abstract concepts. They may represent the oldest example of human writing, preceding that of Sumerians by at least 5,000 years. The structures of Göbekli Tepe are not made of wood, nor of chalk, but are composed of limestone. Some pillars weigh almost 20 tons. The inhabitants of Göbekli Tepe were able to build houses and villages in stone thousands of years before Sumerians.
...
On a slab of stone called "Cranes Star", the sages from Göbekli Tepe recount an encounter between them and "outside beings" from heaven as a comet crossed the sky. Also, the engraved account alluds to a time when a comet bombing caused immense destruction on Earth. How reliable is this narrative, which goes back at least 12,000 years?
