It took the genius of Klaus Schmidt, the original excavator, to realize what he'd found and what it was. But the great thing about the sealing of Gobekli Tepe, the deliberate burial of Gobekli Tepe,

is it means that no later culture trod over it and imposed their organic materials on it and messed up the dating sequences and so on and so forth or vandalized it or used it as a quarry it's all there intact so you mentioned that the pyramids and some of the other amazing things that humans have built has was the results of us humans struggling with our mortality

that's the that's the ultimate the ultimate goal that seems to me what's at the heart of many pyramids around the world is that they're connected in one way or another to the notion of death uh and to the notion of the exploration of the afterlife and and this is of course the fundamental mystery that all human beings face we may we may wish to ignore it we may wish to pretend that it's not going to happen but we are of course all mortal um

Every one of us, all 8 billion or however many of us that are on the planet right now, we're all going to face death sooner or later. And the question is, what happens? And there are a few cultures that really intensely, deeply studied that mystery. We are not one of them. The general view of science, I think, is that we're accidents of evolution. When we die, the light blinks out.

There's no more of us. There's no such thing as the soul. But that's not a proven point. There's no experiment that proves that's the case. We know we die, but we don't know whether there's such a thing as a soul or not. Yeah, it's a great mystery. It's a great mystery that we all share.
