It dates to around... Where's that at? 7,000 BC. It's near Konya. It's in sort of central kind of Turkey. Okay. And that... So there's quite possibly... They were really going full shamanic at this time. I think there's a strong case for that.

And that could explain why everything's kicked off, because they made these possible accidental discoveries that kind of blew their minds and inspired them in profound ways. Plus, there was definitely cattle there. We know that there's aurochs, different kind of bovines in the area.

So in this part of the world, when you've got dung of these beasts, that's where psilocybin grows, so different strains of it. And so there's lots of little possibilities like that, which really kind of intrigued me. Because I'm always trying to work out, why do they do this? What gave them the incentive to do this? It just seems to, there's no clear reason.

I mean, maybe it was the end of the Younger Dryas, things were getting better, but is that really enough reason to create these crazy abstract art carved out of stone in these temples and things like this? So I think there's more to it than meets the eye when you come to that kind of, when you're trying to understand what they were doing. Yeah.

Yeah. And the geometrical nature as well. You see lots of geometry on these things and things like that. You see serpents carved everywhere as well. You see that kind of thing. You see combinations of human and animal, which you find a lot at these sites, you know, things like this. And also just the kind of, you know, inspiration for like, you know, seeing patterns and movements in the stars.

You know, if you get inspired by that through these different, you know, substances, that could be why they would get into the astronomy and the solstices and whatnot.

laying out things in a certain way certain geometrical forms and things like that because you know who knows but it's just a you know a bit of speculation going on here right now but um right but it's worth worth discussing yeah when you're trying to understand these people one day we're gonna figure out backwards time travel and we're gonna go back there and see exactly what all these people are doing so people won't be able to fight over it anymore we'll know exactly what the fuck was going on that would help yeah
