It's your theory, Ove, You are certainly the first. If you are convinced the 'Water Tank' theory is realistic, write some 'Scientific Paper' and send it to the scientific Journals. Maybe you get the Nobel Prize. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanslune Posted December 17, 2021 #79 Share Posted December 17, 2021 3 hours ago, Ove said: "According to Lee Clare, a revision of the temple narrative is unavoidable due to new observations related to the "existence of domestic buildings and the harvesting and distribution of rainwater." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Göbekli_Tepe ...and it also says, "and subsequent excavation has uncovered a possible rainwater harvesting system." That comes from this report: https://publications.dainst.org/journals/efb/article/view/2596/7095 " A large pit carved into the limestone bedrock is so far unique and might have served as a cistern for the collection of rainwater" Now they say this might be a cistern. It might be but is not yet confirmed you will note if this is true they had a specialized and properly built cistern, sunk into limestone. And not the temple constuctions Why would they be collecting rainwater? A shortage of water at the site. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says: "Schmidt also noted the presence of several cisterns carved into the bedrock under the site, holding at least 150 cubic metres (5,300 cu ft) of water, and subsequent excavation has uncovered a possible rainwater harvesting system" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Göbekli_Tepe My understanding is that Göbekli Tepe first had cisterns carved into the bedrock, like the ones in Karahan Tepe. The subterranean stone circles that they have found, are the new cisterns. Edited December 18, 2021 by Ove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think, could these enclosures actually be the Neolithic fishponds? No, just subterranean water tanks, no fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ove Not likely either and definitely not both at the same time considering how some people pee in the pool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
