Evidence of Ancient Civilization

I’m convinced that our society’s conventional archaeological community fails to acknowledge the existence of advanced civilizations beyond several thousand years ago. For example, I’ve always felt that there was more to the great pyramids in Giza than tombs for Egyptian pharaohs. Explanations for the pyramids, Nazca lines, Stonehenge and other ancient monuments didn’t add up. It’s clear that our modern minds have trouble grasping that older cultures might have more advanced technology than ourselves.

It was with delight and wonder that I came across this article of Gobleki, an archaeological site in eastern Turkey, that has some wondering if the actual site of the Biblical Garden of Eden has been discovered. So far, 45 stone monoliths arranged in circles, carved with a wide variety of animal life, have been uncovered from a site that appears to have been buried intentionally. The stones have been dated to 12,000-13,000 years ago, far before traditional scholars acknowledge the existence of sophisticated human settlements.

Speculation that this could be the site of the Garden of Eden stems from the location described in the bible as west of Assyria, near four rivers, including the Tigris and Euphrates. Gobleki fits this description. Additionally, “another book in the Old Testament talks of ‘the children of Eden which were in Thelasar’, a town in northern Syria, near Gobekli. The very word ‘Eden’ comes from the Sumerian for ‘plain’; Gobekli lies on the plains of Harran.” While we can’t know for certain, it is a compelling thought.
