And this is unfortunately something that seems to be going on all around the world. I referenced earlier, you know, when they all get these tin roofs, you know, I think that that is a clear indicator that the site has now been marked for profitability. That's the function of this place now.

Yeah. And that is the function of Gobekli Tepe at this point. I think the argument's over. Arguing back and forth with these people is like, you know... It's like trying to get a liar to admit to something. You're just not going to do it unless you put them in a corner and you have some kind of damning evidence, which would be a document or something proving.

But otherwise, I think, you know, look at what people do, not what they say. And what we're doing here is destroying an ancient site and not moving forward with excavating it and finding out anything more about it by saying that we're going to pause excavation on it for 50 to 100 years, for future generations. What is that? It's ridiculous. Here's what's really going on.

They're making money off the site. And so they're monetizing the site to the best of their ability. And there's no need for further investment when what they have excavated so far is already capable of bringing in the desired outcome, which is the money. And that's what's going on.

And, and do I think I do, I think there's a bigger conspiracy there from people that are higher up maybe to hide history. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Um, how nefarious is that? Is it, you know, some secret society and organization? I don't know. Um, I don't know.

But generally, I don't think if we're talking about stuff like we've talked about here earlier, with these sites being inherited, more than likely, and we're working off that theory, Well, we have to assume that certain people in power or people, whatever, know that or have somewhat of an understanding of that.
