We live next to seven burial mounds, in fact, and we have weird activity, paranormal stuff going on in our house. It's pretty freaky, yeah. But my main area of research really is away from there. I mean, I've been focused on Britain for a long time, but actually I'm fascinated by what's going on in Southeast Turkey. That's where it's all happening.

I mean, you've got Karahan Tepe, you've got Gebekli Tepe, you've got like dozens of sites now have been reported over there that go back nearly 12,000 years. That's where I'm focused on now. That's my kind of, I've got my little book out, I've got a bigger book coming out with my partner, JJ Ainsworth.

Look at that. Quebecly Tepe and Carahan Tepe.

Yes. Very pretty. Very pretty. Adorable. Adorable. Adorable little wooden book. Yes. One of a series that the publisher puts out. So, uh, But yeah, we're working on a bigger one, a bigger book with my partner, JJ Ainsworth, going deeper into the whole story of what is known now as the Tastapola culture, which means stone hills in kind of, you know, translated from Turkish.

But actually, it's more like sacred stone hills, like the sacred burial, you know, sacred areas where these structures and, you know, complexes were being built over in southeast Turkey, all around the city of Şanlıurfa. That's pretty much where it's all happening.

I've been many times, yeah. I've been going for like 10 or 11 years. Yeah, I've been there. Yeah, I mean, it's been known since about 2000, but it was really starting to be excavated in the mid-1990s. But it was actually kind of partly discovered in 1963 by some American archaeologists. They didn't recognize for what it was, so they didn't really dig there. So what do you think it was?

Gobekli Tepe itself is a major megalithic complex. I mean, I believe that it was like, you know, a whole kind of change in consciousness was taking place at the end of the last ice age, because this was within 200 years. of the Younger Dryas kind of ending. So the weather had improved.

It feels like groups coming in from the south and the Tufians, you've got groups coming in from the north and coming in through Anatolia, all kind of met and kind of like decided things have changed now. We're going to monumentalize what we know and put it into stone. And they did it in a profound, innovative manner. It was unbelievable because this is like...
