ShortHand: The Secrets of Göbekli Tepe

About this episode

The episode explores the significance of Göbekli Tepe and its implications for our understanding of ancient civilization.

The 1994 excavation of curious buried ruins in southeastern Turkey might have chucked a big rock through the window of archaeological history – shattering everything we thought we knew about our ancient ancestors. With its intricate carvings, and towering megaliths built long before the wheel or even written language, Göbekli Tepe could rewrite the story of civilisation. But who built it? And why ? Join us on a journey into the distant past as we attempt to find out. -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram
