NEW Discoveries At Ancient Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe! #historicaltidbits

Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe have yielded new discoveries. Recently, archeologists uncovered new statues at both sides, one a wild boar which still retains traces of red, black and white pigements, indicating it and possibly other statues at Gobekli Tepe were once painted. At Karahan Tepe, a statue of a vulture and of a human figure holding their phallus were uncovered in well-preserved conditions. The human figure still contains carved ribs and much like the related site at Sayburc which contains the oldest narrative releif carving in the world, features a human man holding their phallus. Phallus shaped pillars had already been discovered at Karahan Tepe, thus, this better links the sites which are around 11,000 year old. Researchers believe these phallus oriented depictions reflect a progenitor from which the people of Gobekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe and the Sayburc site are likely descended. Who this figure is, whether mythological or historical is unknown. But hopefully further clues remain waiting to be unearthed.

How the heck did these guys get anything built one-handed?

[williammiles]

Phallus focused 😂, little has changed in 12000 y.

[Tari]

Phallus focused you say? Now that's what I call the understatement of... well, 11, 000 years. Not much has changed!!!

[MilesLongx]

They really took the time to make statues of men playing flight simulator with a joystick 😂 faith in humanity is restored

[shaneneal]

Built between the late wang early dong period.😂

[Pazyryk]

This place just keeps getting more interesting

[Stonecutter]

Don’t think most people realize this site is huge! And surrounded by many more equally huge sites. We haven’t even scratched the surface of what is buried here.

[Ratt]

Those statues are really holding their ding a lings. We are an odd species 🤣🤣🤣

[RowdyBoy]

Jerk the statues off simultaneously and it will open up a space time gate to another dimension.

[juanm]

All this is hilariously fascinating! All the comments! Lol!!!😂

[ronbyrd]

So, ...michael jackson didnt invent the crotch grab stage move ???

[CredereNemo]

Interesting. Men's behavior hasn't changed in 11 millennia. 😂

[tesselaynes]

The meaning of life. Sitting around holding a phallis

[mariemelansongundy-vxox]

Like the ol saying goes amongst the diggers, "when in doubt, It's a fertility rite."😂😂

[VijaySuryaAditya]

Shiva, Osiris, Pan. All renowned for their phallus. Take your pick!

[etorawa]

I'm starting to think there's a boom and bust cycle in human history going back to the Mesolithic period, perhaps even earlier. We get too advanced, something breaks the cycle and then we restart again from nothing and this repeats every several thousand years.

I had to laugh when I heard the word vulture followed almost immediately by Turkey. For those who don’t know, the turkey vulture is a fairly common vulture. Beautiful statues.

[dca]

That's why they went extinct. They were just standing around holding their puds.

The time where there was no other form of entertainment except the "joystick"
