Gobekli Tepe - Ep 113

View on Zencastr

You’ve probably heard the name “Gobekli Tepe” in the archaeological world, but what is it? In this episode, we explore the wondrous world of a 10,000-year-old Neolithic communal/ritual center, but only after I complain about my most recent hate mail…. Enjoy!

Göbekli Tepe, Bad Fox, No Comet - Episode 73

View on Zencastr

Today we talk with Jens Notroff from the Gobekli Tepe research project about the recent news stories about possible evidence for a comet strike at the ancient site. We look over the claims made in the paper 'DECODING GÖBEKLI TEPE WITH ARCHAEOASTRONOMY: WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY?' and compare that with ongoing research from the actual Gobekli Tepe site. 

Shout out to David Anderson for his help with the episode! Thanks again!
