So not only was this structure nearly 12,000 years old, it was also a multi-generational project.
So given that the average life expectancy back then was about 35 years, I'm dead next year, and this would have been a highly labour-intensive build, it's safe to say that these people were seriously committed to Gobekli Tepe's construction and passed significant knowledge and information down to their children and their children's children, all without any form of writing.
So it must have been really important.
But why?
Especially since early evidence seemed to suggest that the people who built it hadn't actually lived at Quebecly Tepe.
Most people think that it wasn't really a settlement, but rather a seasonal meeting point.
But again, why is it so important?
I'll spell it for you.
G-O-B-L-E-K-I space T-E-P-E.
Thank you.
I was trying to spell Gwyneth Paltrow the other day and I couldn't do it.
I hate it.
And I just asked producer Alex, I was like, can you just spell it for me?
And he spelled it wrong multiple times.
And I just turned to him and I was like, Alex, I love you with my whole heart, but I am so dyslexic and you are firing letters at me and I'm going to have a stroke.
The tea stones around the edge of the enclosure are about a metre or so tall, which would have been difficult to move into the circles that you see in Gobekli Tepe.
especially given the level of technology that people would have had at the time.
They didn't even have metal yet.
But each enclosure also has two very large T-stones at the centre.
They're five metres tall.
