Gabakli Tepe and the Super Civilization

Gabakli Tepe is a site that showcases the innovative and advanced civilization known as the Super Civilization. The site, located in southeast Turkey, consists of stone circular structures with T-shaped pillars and intricate relief carvings. The significance of Gabakli Tepe lies in its age, dating back to around 9,600 BC, making it one of the oldest known megalithic sites. The site, along with other nearby sites like Caharran Tepe, challenges the traditional narrative of civilization and suggests the presence of a highly advanced and organized society that existed thousands of years earlier than previously believed. Gabakli Tepe's intricate carvings, architectural precision, and its connection to astronomy and astrology hint at a deep understanding of celestial movements and a spiritual or ritual purpose behind its construction. The influence and knowledge of this mysterious Super Civilization may have extended across the globe, as indicated by geodetic connections with other ancient sites, such as Peru, Lebanon, and Stonehenge.
