Chapter 722: Ruins from Years Ago
In fact, before Ye Zhen mentioned this place.

Celia already knew that Ye Zhen would mention this place.

Because this place is even more bizarre and incredible than the Sumerian civilization.

Before Ye Zhen publicly explained the Sumerian civilization.

The previously recognized mainstream view was that ancient Egypt was the first civilization of mankind.

But the Sumerian civilization seemed to have descended from the sky.

It directly surpassed the ancient Egyptian civilization at that time.

But even such an advanced Sumerian civilization was not as strange as the Göbekli Tepe.

"Göbekli Tepe is a stone site located in eastern Turkey."

"In 1994, a local shepherd in Türkiye."

“While shepherding, I found a raised stone here.

At first the shepherd felt that this stone was very abrupt and strange.

I just want to dig out this stone and take a look.

But as the shepherd continued digging, he felt something was wrong.

Because of this strange stone, there is actually a very long part connected below.

That's why the shepherd discovered something was wrong.

He suspected that this was an ancient site.

I immediately found an expert professor from the local university to come and check out the place.

Later, German archaeologist Schmidt was conducting archaeological work nearby.

Because Turkey has been a good place since ancient times.

After all, Türkiye's predecessor was the Ottoman Empire.

It can be called Roman Orthodoxy.

In addition, according to the legend in the Bible, this is the place where Noah landed from the ship.

Therefore, many archaeologists and anthropologists have come here to do research.

This is the case with archaeologist Smith.

He was doing research nearby at the time.

After hearing about this, he immediately became interested.

To the place where the shepherds had found it.

After Schmidt's investigation.

He discovered that this place had been recorded a long time ago.

in 1960.

Archaeologist at the University of Chicago, USA, and Istanbul University, Türkiye.

Some cracked limestone slabs were found here.

But at that time they just took a cursory look.

And made a judgment that this might only have happened in the Middle Ages.

Just some tombs of the Byzantine Empire.

There is no archaeological value.

So after just writing a report, it was left alone.

It was not until Schmidt looked up the information that he discovered this report.

If it were someone else, they might have just given up.

After all, there is really no archaeological value here.

But Smith noticed something different.

In 1995, Schmidt organized people to excavate.

You wouldn’t have known until you dug it up later, and you found a lot of megalithic ruins.

After carbon 14 dating.

We discovered that the Göbekli Tepe was actually a site from 12000 years ago.”

A site from 12000 years ago?

It was the first time for some viewers to hear of such an ancient site.

Someone gasped.

"Hiss! A megalithic site from 12000 years ago?"

"It's actually from 12000 years ago? That's impossible."

“Is this something from the Neolithic Age?”

"It should be a very dilapidated and small stone ruin."

Some scholars know this.

After Stonehenge in England was discovered.

It's shocking enough.

Because England's Stonehenge was built at the junction of the late Neolithic Age and the Bronze Age.

But even so.

England's Stonehenge is only 4,000 years old. Some archaeologists have never heard of Göbekli Tepe.

At least they had heard a little about the Sumerian civilization.

But they had never heard of Göbekli Tepe.

“Where did this megalithic site come from?”

"I haven't heard of it before."

"That's right. Is there such a Stonehenge in the world?"

It’s not that there haven’t been some ancient sites unearthed in China that are 8,000 to 10,000 years old.

It’s just that those ruins are too primitive and backward.

Basically, only some broken pottery and stone tools were dug out.

There is no place to live left at all.

Because the ancient people at that time either lived in caves.

Or it could be built with some grass and trees.

So many years have passed, it has already rotted away.

Even the Hemudu ruins are now just imaginary architectural drawings in our history books.

But Göbekli Tepe is completely different.

It was detected through scientific testing that it is 12000 years old.

This has to shock some archaeologists.

Why didn’t most people in the academic community know about this place before?

Let alone Göbekli Tepe.

Even the Sumerian civilization was considered a forbidden civilization.

These are things that cannot be discussed publicly.

Not to mention Göbekli Tepe.

In mainstream science, there is no room for Sumerian civilization.

Because Sumerian civilization is really too strange.

It suddenly appeared and became so developed, as if it had no source.

Before the Sumerian civilization, no trace of it was found.

But Göbekli Tepe is five thousand years older than the Sumerian civilization.

This is already an outrageous span.

Why is Göbekli Tepe not recognized by mainstream science?

Because agriculture may have originated from this.

Professor Zhou has a clear concept of 12000 years.

"This is a completely prehistoric site."

"At the site of human activity 12000 years ago."

"Old Wu, have you heard of this site?"

When Professor Zhou learned about the Sumerian civilization, he was already shocked.

But now a site dating back 12000 years has emerged.

Türkiye is still a place.

Although Old Wu is a senior archaeologist, he is now retired.

But I still pay attention to some news in the archaeological world.

Old Wu shook his head. “The previous Sumerian civilization was secretive.”

“But within the industry, we still know something about it.”

"But I have never heard of this Gobekli Tepe."

Si Xiaoping asked doubtfully, "This shouldn't be the case. Is it because this is a foreign site?"

“Like some of the lesser-known sites in our country.”

"If you hadn't studied it specifically, you might not have known there was such a place."

This is Si Xiaoping’s opinion.

It is exactly as Si Xiaoping said.

Even some ruins in our country, such as Lingjiatan.

Although it is not a small site, it is not very famous either.

Apart from the locals, basically no one knows about it.

If it weren’t for Ye Zhen, many people might never have heard of this place in their entire lives.

Old Wu denied it, "If it's some small ruins, or nothing special."

"It will be just as you said."

"But there are some special sites that we cannot ignore."

"Especially since it's a megalithic site dating back 12000 years."
