@cf-apps7865 you should really try to make it to Turkey someday, its a wonderful country with really nice people and rich history and probably one of the highest concentration of undiscovered sites, they are everywhere out in the countryside. People are friendly and nice sincere people, been there many times, btw I am American and have never had any problems there. Also I love your videos, short and to the point, makes one want to go discover more about each subject you touch. You prove that you don't have to be a professional to be interested and interesting. Thanks!!!

Fascinsting! It never fails to amaze as to why people gravitated to the ruins or site of a particular civilisation or generation, often huge time periods in between, only to start one of their own.
Did it have something to do with the geology or perhaps sacred acknowledgment or just easier to renovate and restore?
Thanks Chuck....very interesting. Certainly a space to watch for further
Have a good weekend.

Turkey really has it all! Apperantley being the hub for humanity thru all those ages and beyond as seen from Gobekli Tepe et al and with your research on the Garden of Eden. I wonder if there's anything that goes further back that that? Have you found any ancient ruins near the sea of Mamara on the coastal side of the mainland (and beyond) across the Bosphorus strait from Istanbul??

Sweet, thanks for the vid...great work😎👌

A lot of very old human history in that part of the world. Just imagine all the many generations coming up over the years.

[debbralehrman]

Yes I did it cool. Thank you . I hope they do continue digging down further to the bottom of the Mound.

Are you an anthropologist or an archeologist? Your passion for ancient history is awesome. I've learned so much from your channel. Thanks for all you do, sir.

Great video, love your research! thank you and be well.

Hey chuck. Superb work this is an site that really intrigues me also some of the hallmarks are out of this world... seems dating some of these sites now is just being pushed back further and further ... all the best Phil aav

Been following you for some time and don't remember hearing your name. Thanks cf-apps I enjoy learning from you! :D

Curious that they describe this tiny collection of buildings on a small mound as a "core city of the Hittite Empire".

Thanks for the episode, very interesting!

[sdaniel]

Thank you for sharing (again) What I find weird is, that we never find plastic, wires or any buttons in the ground, but only objects made of natural materials! Conclusion is: we are being very bad for this planet, while it's the only planet we can live on!

[yardsaleuw]

There must have been a very important natural resource in this area to maintain habitation for 6000 yrs. I would guess there was a major source of "Salt" in and around this area and lake. Salt was the most important commodity for thousands of years.

[luciparadise]

Sounds like Babylon and probably LOTS of places. One civilization on top of another. How exciting for the archeologists! 😃 Can’t wait to see what they find!

[robertpenny]

I am heading to Cadir Hoyuk this summer (2023) to do remote sensing/GPR work, should be facsinating.

These mounds are like posts of the Giants. There could be giant bodies under the mounds but I would leave it alone honestly. Them dang on giants may rise and could be very upset when they go back to these mound sites and see bodies may have been stolen or damaged due to archaeologists. After all they are still in the Earth... just my thoughts

[sfjarhead]

So no more habitation once the Crusades started...

[vehotaiji]

pls, explain me, how this mound works..
the neolithic people just settled on the plain ground. then chalcolithic people come, say "we want to live different" and cover the settlement by soil and build on the top of it. then bronze people come, say "we want to live different" and cover the chalcolithic settlement by soil and build on the top of it, and so on?
new age people always dig thousands baskets of soil and gradually build the mound? i would expect the weathering and erosion to remove the dirt from a hill, not to build it up..

Just a bit, the byzantines were the romans. There was never a break in the time period and structure like there was for the "holy roman empire". They referred to themselves as romans up until half the people of constantinople were killed and the other half sold into slavery by the ottoman empire in 1486.
On a related topic all the parts of the hagia sofia that declare for islam and the covering up of the roman murals should be undone. We are all cuvilized people so like with jerusalem, the hagia sofia has no significance for muslims but for christians and especially orthodox it has a great deal of significance. Note the name of the church is not for a st sofia but greek "holy wisdom" pretty incredible for a building msde in the 500 ad

Why is the site called a "mound" when it's clearly made of stone? It beg's the question of how many "mounds" in North America are; actually, made of stone, and are NOT "earthen mounds" as they are only "earthen" because they have not been properly, or honestly excavated. Where I lived in Guatemala, all of the current temples, and pyramids in Tikal, Guatemala, were originally thought to be earthen mounds (Hills, and Mountains), until they were properly excavated.
