Is it really that relevant or is just Graham Hancock making up more bullshit?
>>17272845It probably completely rewrites what we know of human history and the powers that be can't have that.
No. Schizo.
>graham hancock>/his/>>>/x/
>>17272845All bullshit
>>17272845It's cool to know that hunter-gatherers were capable of building monumental architecture and were already developing sedentarism by the end of the ice age (and debunking the "agriculture predates sedentarism" trope).Aside from that, no, it's not that important. It's just a very impressive structure, but that's it. All the importance given to it is more related to survivorship bias than anything.>>17272857The Powers That Be are the ones exploiting your workforce and making you wageslave for a undignified amount of money while they live obscene lives. They don't give a shit about stacked stones of 12 thousand years ago.If you think the archeological academia is somehow part of a narrative-controlling elite, congrats, you've been played like a fiddle by the ACTUAL narrative-controlling elites.
>>17272845>>17272889>>17272896>NOOOOOOO BURIED ANCIENT RUINS AREN'T RELEVANT OR INTERESTING BECAUSE... WELL BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST NOT, OKAY?! The way Graham buck-broke archeologists and you history cucks is fucking hilarious.
>>17272889>>17272896>>17272902Kill yourselves trannies
>>17272952>NOOOOO BURIED ANCIENT RUINS ARE TOTALLY RELEVANT AND DEFINITELY PROVE THE EXISTENCE OF A MYTHICAL CIVILIZATIONWhy are you so desperate to hold onto scraps? Gobekli Tepe is cool for it's age, but c'mon, it's definitely not impressive enough to be part of a supposedly worldwide transoceanic civilization who invented basically everything we know.
>>17272903>and debunking the "agriculture predates sedentarism" tropeThe only thing getting deboonked is the idea that you have to be intelligent to post on the internet. Seasonal sedentarism is still a thing. Stay at one point per season, harvest stuff and prepare for your return the next season, repeat for the next 500 generations.
It is relevant as a site of early civilization. I am not sure whether Graham Hancock is deliberately making up bullshit or just lacks rationality and is zealous about his pet theory, but it is mostly logical fallacies, confirmation bias, gish gallop, I can't be bothered to write an essay on it.Consider this piece of evidence and what it means. The inhabitants left remains of what they were eating and it included wild varieties of grain that would later be domesticated, as you would expect of hunter gatherers transitioning into agriculture for the first time. Compare this to Graham Hancock's claims about telekinesis and lasers and it should be obvious he is not looking for a realistic explanation.
>>17272990I don't give a fuck about you Hararifags who are still insisting against all the archeological and genetic evidence that prove the first crops were domesticated for generations by the already fully sedentary communities of the fertile crescent, and the evidence of many different sedentary societies who never engaged in agriculture across all of history.>Verification not required
>>17272845It's relevant but it shows that graham is a grifter since noone tried to hide it and it is being studied by le evil academia
>>17272857the "powers that be" gave him his own netflix special
It destroys the marxist theory of civilization which is a good thing. But Hancock had nothing to do with that find
>>17273047God that one with glasses is so fucking hot
>>17273053Pedo
>>17273059I'm talking about Hungcock?
>>17273061We both know you weren't
>>17273068Do we?
>>17273070Yes
>>17272845It proves that people did not in fact immediately and suddenly start building cool things at an arbitrary point precisely 6000 years, which is an idea that only the Hancock types give attention to in the fist place, contrary to their belief that it is some sort of holy dogma enforced by a cabal of academic archaeologists.So yeah, it's relevant, but not to the extent conspiracy retards think.
>>17272845what "more bullshit"?
why does Hancock use his powers for evil? can you imagine what he could do if he were one of the good guys?
Bump. Love me some Hancock thread, I feel like discussing with retards today
They were AHGs. The same people later built Catalhoyuk, so I don't know what's so surprising. They were clearly advanced.
>>17272845Jewish thread
Graham Hancock is a pseudohistorian, on the same level as Erich von Däniken.However, Göbekli Tepe and its sister site Karahan Tepe are very interesting in their own right, as actual archaeological sites that have nothing to do with Hancock's theories. They're sites that would have required a remarkable amount of social organization to build and maintain, and they were built around the time that people began to transition from hunter-gatherers to farmers. As such, they're probably the two most important active archaeological sites in the world right now, far more so than any Egyptian or Sumerian site, because those are fairly well understood now.
>>17273949These people are charlatans just as much as Hancock is. They just happen to have a different false historical narrative that they're trying to shill.>...the effects that pseudoarchaeology, including the work of British author Graham Hancock, had on the thinking of Jacob Chansley, the "QAnon Shaman" who participated in the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol in Washington, DC.When I take the bus in my shitty Western European city there are often West African schizophrenics ranting about God at the bus stop. Does that mean we should dispose of the fields of theology and comparative religion?
>>17272903The earliest structures predate the younger dryas event, which is pretty neato I think
If Big Archaeology is out to hide the truth from people why does it pay so poorly? If they were trying to hide it why do they publish the finds and have active research being done? “They” aren’t trying to hide anything cause they are the ones that brought it to the public view in the first place.
>It will completely rewrite history!>How?>Well...um...errrr...it'll show that civilisation started 12,000 years ago instead of 10,000 years ago!Yes, I'm sure the powers wot is are terrified.
>>17272952Who said it was irrelevant or boring? It's just not going to change the world beyond a few lines on a Baby's History of the World book.
