Is it so that the sculptures are pregnant goddesses with their hands on the belly as a sign of their pregnancy ?

Is it so that the remains of the dead, where brought to Göbekli Tepe ("Potbelly Hill") to be reborn by the great Anatolian goddesses ?

Did they believe their dead could be reborn by their pregnant women ?

This is not a "totem pole" it's a stylised sculpture of a pregnant women, the megalithic sculptures in question have nothing on their heads ?

Do the foxes on the side of the pregnant goddesses show that this is the Anatolian Earth Goddess Cybele ?

Foxes: Prehistoric Man's Best Friend?

February 15, 2011 Elizabeth Neville:

Before dog was man's best friend, we might have kept foxes as pets, even bringing them with us into our graves, scientists now say.

This discovery, made in a prehistoric cemetery in the Middle East, could shed light on the nature and timing of newly developing relationships between people and beasts before animals were first domesticated. It also hints that key aspects of ancient practices surrounding death might have originated earlier than before thought.

The ancient graveyard known as 'Uyun al-Hammam, or "spring of the pigeon," was discovered in the small river valley of Wadi Ziqlab in northern Jordan in 2000 and named after a nearby freshwater spring. The burial ground is about 16,500 years old, meaning it dates back to just before the emergence of the Natufian culture, in which pioneers used wild cereals (such as wheat, barley and oats) in a practice that would eventually evolve into true farming. These communities dwelled 11,600 to 14,500 years ago in the Levant, the area that today includes Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.

The Natufian culture was known to bury people with dogs. *snip* However, the new discovery at 'Uyun al-Hammam shows that some of these practices took place earlier with a different doglike animal, the fox.

To me the Gobekli Tepe animals bare their teeth as a typical dog warning sign. The snakes, the spiders, the scorpions all send the same message "keep off" "stay away" "don't touch" just like modern warning signs do. It was not allowed to touch the pregnant goddesses of Gobekli Tepe ! They didn't have writing so the used warning signs like these.
