Chapter 1: What accounts exist for giant skeletons?
We have probably 60 accounts of academic journals reported by archaeologists, reported by universities, even presented and displayed at universities. Even in the Smithsonian's own annual reports, there's 17 accounts of seven to eight foot tall skeletons being found.
7 to 8 foot though, that's not like... That's not huge. That could be easily explainable with some of the gigantism things that people have to do. There's people in the NBA who are 7 to 8 foot tall.
That's true, that's true. But none of them had gigantism. That's the thing. None of them. They're all perfectly formed. And it was just normal, that height. That was the normal height.
Proven Mohan, when he was on the podcast, he was showing us articles that were from the New York Times from the like early 1900s, maybe late 1800s of I think it was like 15 to 18 foot giants.
You do get a few reports like that. Yeah. Yeah. We've got a few. In our accounts. In the New York Times and other places. Oh, yeah. I mean, our book is like, you know, there's so many accounts in proper newspapers. You know, not just some fly-by-night publications like, you know, Washington Times, all that kind of thing. Washington Post and all that.
Even in Britain as well, we have the same thing. It's all over the world, really. But there's little evidence. It's all vanished. Right. You know, very little, especially here, especially with NAGPRA. So you've got nothing left to really kind of prove a point.
So maybe this is a good opportunity to explain to people what your background is and how you got into all this stuff.
Okay, cool.

Chapter 2: Where is Karahan Tepe located?
Who are you? Who am I? Who the hell are you?
Hugh Newman? Yeah, my name's Hugh Newman. I'm a researcher, author, explorer from England. I live right near Stonehenge in Wiltshire, which is a very interesting, scary place to live in some cases. Why is it scary? Well, we live next door to a burial mound, okay? You get them there as well, not just North America.
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.
This is your little book. That's the little book. Yeah. Gorgeous little book. Yeah.
Look at that. Quebecly Tepe and Carahan Tepe.
It's even got the, uh, the foil to the letter. So it's like, it's calligraphic.
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.

Chapter 3: What discoveries have been made at Karahan Tepe?
Just dirt and rock is a bit troublesome, I think. They've done GPR of a lot of places now, though. So they're going to get it. Ground penetrating radar? Yeah. So they kind of work out what's going on beneath that to see if it's worth investigating.
Now, what is the modern consensus of when it was constructed, the Gobekli Tepe T-pillars?
Gobekli Tepe officially dates to 9,600 BC, or 11,600 years ago. That's the earliest date, although it stretches, you know, according to the date. That's the earliest. Earliest, but that's currently, because only a small percentage. has been actually uncovered so far. So there's actually what, five, seven, maybe 8% has been uncovered.
Right, because my understanding of it was that it was intentionally buried to preserve it from some sort of cataclysm, meaning that it could have been constructed before some big cataclysm or some big flood, if the Younger Dryas was really what people think it is.
Yeah, I mean, the thing about it being deliberately buried, that's being kind of challenged, actually, because that's what Klaus Schmidt, he was the main archaeologist, the original head archaeologist there, along with another guy as well, Helpman, he was called. And he proposed that it was deliberately buried.
And this is a tradition you find in that part of the world where they bury sites at the end of their use. I think they used them for 1,000 or 2,000 years. But recent research done by the archaeologists there, they found that
the enclosures that have been uncovered or excavated, there's been some kind of slope slide where the debris has fallen down into it over years and years and years, middens and rubbish and other things build up, and some of it filled in some of it like that. But then it's pretty much now believed that some of it was then buried afterwards because there's obvious repair work done.
They've repaired it, put stuff back in place, and like put it everything where it should be even artifacts and statues and things like this and then it's kind of covered over and so i don't see how a slope slide would not just knock things out of place you know so it seems like there's a bit of both bit of slope slide and a bit of
burying but carahan tepe that was deliberately buried they've proven that now oh they've proven it was deliberate yeah that's it because carahan tepe the one that ben van kirk was showing me where it looked like they performed lots of human sacrifices there sacrifices my god really yeah oh no um i don't know i'm not sure show me a place in turkey because he recently went to turkey and he was saying he was yeah my audio sounds really weird

Chapter 5: What anomalies have been found in Gobekli Tepe?
Chapter 6: What is the relationship between Karahan Tepe and wine or drugs?
Chapter 7: What future excavations are planned?
7 to 8 foot though, that's not like... That's not huge. That could be easily explainable with some of the gigantism things that people have to do. There's people in the NBA who are 7 to 8 foot tall.
