Andrew B Collins Posted August 25, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Sirius is the latest star to be put forward as the primary focus of key monuments at Gobekli Tepe. Yet such a conclusion is thwart with problems, not only in connection with the faint appearance and feeble movement of the star during the epoch in question, but also with respect to the orientation and layout of the enclosures themselves. I have written two articles on the subject, which I believe will be of interest to members of the message board: "Gobekli Tepe and the Rebirth of Sirius" (co-authored with engineer Robert Hale) http://www.andrewcol...ekli_Sirius.htm Gobekli Tepe and the Worship of the Stars: A Question of Orientation http://www.andrewcol...li_Mandaean.htm Welcome your thoughts.

If you'd bother to search for threads about Göbekli Tepe on this site, you'd find out there are much more interesting things to know about the site, things not even you dreamt about. And those who came forward with that information were not out to sell their books..... they just shared their ideas and finds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylemurph Posted September 4, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 4, 2013 There is no connection between Gobekli Tepe and the stars. ...I'm impressed by your absolute knowledge of this mysterious site. Most historians and other people tend to point out there are no absolutes in historical and archaeological studies. You're not holding out any other sort of absolute authority knowledge on anything else, are you? I mean, I'm interested in the development of tragedy in Anceint Greece, which is pretty wrapped up in mystery.

The sitting bald headed birds are most likely vultures a death cult ? burial ceremonies ? The wild boar is also a recurring animal in Göbekli Tepe ! did they feed the animals with corpses ? was Göbekli Tepe a site for ritualized disposal of human corpses ?

lightly Posted September 5, 2013 #15 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Sky burials were practiced in that whole region . If Gobekli tepe area was used for that purpose extensively id' think they might have found more human bones? Maybe not.. bones don't last long on the surface. I wonder if they may have burned the bones after a respectable period of time? A pot full of ashes of human bones would help that idea a lot. Interesting to think about what they might have been up to there. ya.. good to see you Abramelin .. ya old book worm ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand, after the bones are cleaned by the animals, they are dealt with separately in another ceremony. If all these animals participated in the burial ceremony, I would no longer call it, only a sky (vulture) burial. The identity, formation and role of the T shaped human statues, remains unexplained. The animals are depicted on and around them, yet they seem alive, with flesh on their arms and hands, and belts around their waist.

lightly Posted September 5, 2013 #18 Share Posted September 5, 2013 hmm. That is interesting. many many animal bones have been found.. maybe the honored guests participated in more than being consumed themselves? But who eats scorpions when you can have roast pig? I always wonder about the hand on the stomach... and always am tempted to assign some spiritual meaning to it... but, to go along with your idea in some way, could it portray nothing more than a FULL stomach?

Derek Cunningham Posted November 1, 2013 #20 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Not surprised by this.... The ancients did not align to stars in the night sky. They aligned to astronomical points on a Mercator modified map. That is what archaeoastronomy cannot explain anything other than solstice alignments. 90% of these structures are designed to align to the Milky Way Helix see this work on Harappa http://www.midnightsciencejournal.com/2013/10/31/alignment-of-harappa-seals-to-map-of-earth/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie B Herd Posted December 1, 2013 #21 Share Posted December 1, 2013 OVE, "The identity, formation and role of the T shaped human statues, remains unexplained. The animals are depicted on and around them, yet they seem alive, with flesh on their arms and hands, and belts around their waist." T-shaped "human statues"?????? I see structural stone columns w/ carved figures on them. I see Collins trying to sell his book. I don't see any Astro-alignments @ this site. (The 'Posnansky' style of arch assumes too much, let's try applying common-sense to this site. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
