This megalithic complex in Turkey has massive T-shaped pillars weighing up to 50 tons. It appeared out of nowhere at the end of the last Ice Age. This level of engineering requires a highly organized society that shouldn't have existed back then. Is it time to rewrite the history books?

    But history books are rewritten all the time. The lack of talking about gt is mainly cause is a recent discovery. Pretty hyped for everything related.

    By the time we are reading this, that place gets destroyed by freshly planted olive trees aggresive, piercing roots.

    Its just sad that they cannot Accept this facts so hard

  3. Maybe they’re not hiding anything. Sometimes “we don’t know yet” is a valid and acceptable answer.

    This isn’t a conspiracy. 100 years ago, all of the evidence we had discovered up until that point lead us to conclude that human civilization started around 5000 BCE. We wrote history books saying “This is what the evidence leads us to believe”. Then we discovered more shit. Now we write history books that say “This is what the evidence leads us to believe.”

    That’s how rationality works. You draw conclusions based on the best, logical interpretation of the evidence. When you find new evidence, it either reinforces your previous conclusion *or* you need to update you conclusion to account for the new evidence.

    Aren’t they burying it again? As in, it was deliberately buried to protect it from something, like a great disaster that wiped out most of the civilizations, or enemies?
