Popular science says oxygen is poisonous, and the whole internet scolds me for being sick

Chapter 724: The Garden of Eden? The Origin of Agriculture
Göbekli Tepe is a megalithic site that should not have existed.

Why do you say that?

The knowledge that Ye Zhen had laid out for everyone before came in handy.

"According to our current mainstream science and history.

12000 years ago, it was still in the Paleolithic Age.

At that time, our human ancestors were still in the era of hunting and gathering.

The same was true of the ancient people who built the first generation of Göbekli Tepe.

They are also in the Paleolithic era.

You need to migrate everywhere.

Let us ignore for the moment how the ancient people 12000 years ago mined, transported and placed these huge stones.

This project alone requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

It can't be built in a day.

So this is a long project.

Then comes the problem.

Where did so many like-minded primitive humans come from?

They also worked together regardless of the consequences.

No Hunting, No Gathering has been working together for more than ten years.

Build Göbekli Tepe.

What do you think is going on? "

People in the Paleolithic Age had to work very hard even to fill their stomachs.

How did people find the time to build Göbekli Tepe?
It would be better to pick more wild fruits.

If they all went to build the Göbekli Tepe.

Who will hunt? Who will pick the wild fruits?
Some viewers thought of it.

“Maybe agriculture was invented at that time?”

“Agriculture started at Göbekli Tepe.”

"It is indeed possible."

"It was because of the surplus food that they started building Göbekli Tepe."

But the problem came again.

What is the purpose of spending so much manpower and resources to build this thing?
Some archaeologists are also thinking about the issues raised by Ye Zhen.

“It is now generally accepted that agriculture began in the Fertile Crescent of Western Asia.”

“Northern Turkey is also in this area.”

“This is the first place in the world where wheat was grown.”

“Could this really be the place where agriculture originated?”

Foreign paleoanthropologists also have something to say.

“The agricultural revolution was actually the first revolution.”

"It's just that everyone subconsciously ignored it."

"If there hadn't been the agricultural revolution, there would have been no human villages."

“Without city-states and all that follows.”

If humans had always been in a hunting state.

There is no way they will settle down in one place.

There would be no villages or city-states.

Not to mention the First Industrial Revolution that came later.

Professor Yan Xin believes that "Göbekli Tepe may be the place where human agriculture was born."

“Otherwise, so many people would live here.”

"Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all problems every day."

“Where does the food come from?”

From three million to ten thousand years ago, it was in the Paleolithic Age.

At that time, primitive ancient humans were always making stone tools.

There has been no progress for three million years.

Why are there no other buildings left in these three hundred years?

Only their bones and stone tools remain.

Because they live a nomadic life and will never settle down.

They all live in caves.

We still see it in the news from time to time, in some caves and rock walls.

You can see the murals left by primitive humans at that time.

Even if they can build houses.

It is also built with some trees and grass.

It won't take three million years, only tens of thousands of years for these things to rot and disappear.

So we won't find any Paleolithic buildings.

It has never been discovered since ancient times.

Only Göbekli Tepe, a Paleolithic structure, has appeared.

Something out of common sense happened.

The primitive ancients at that time did not have such construction technology.

There are no such conditions for construction.

Ye Zhen then introduced the Göbekli Tepe.

“Does everyone think that agriculture might have originated from here?

Logically, there is indeed just enough food.

Only in this way can we feed so many people and allow so many people to continue living even if they leave their jobs.

But here’s the weird thing.

Smith excavated nearby for a long time.

No traces of human life were found.

In other words, there are no villages or the like nearby.

However, the earliest wild wheat was discovered nearby.

That is dogtail grass."

After hearing what Ye Zhen said, Göbekli Tepe might indeed be the origin of agriculture.

Because wild wheat was discovered here?
Isn’t wheat the first crop cultivated by humans?
Some paleoanthropologists were also puzzled when they heard this.

"Is there no sign of human life nearby?"

"That means they need to leave here after finishing their work every day."

“Isn’t this a waste of time!?”

Generally speaking, building such a laborious task.

They should all settle down nearby.

Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating nearby.

Anyone who has done farm work knows this.

It is very common to build a small house near the fields.

But there is none at Göbekli Tepe.

Professor Zhou stroked his chin in deep thought in the dim tent.

"If Göbekli Tepe is the birthplace of agriculture."

“There should be a village that gathers together.”

“Where agriculture was born, there were the earliest villages.”

"But there is nothing there? This is really too abnormal."

Old Wu made guesses based on his previous professional knowledge.

"Could this be a place for sacrifice?"

“It’s a religious place.”

"Or a cemetery?"

The answer guessed by Old Wu is very likely correct.

Si Xiaoping studies folk customs and megalithic civilization.

This can be said to be his area of ​​expertise.

He has studied all the megalithic civilizations that Ye Zhen mentioned as examples.

But he had never heard of Göbekli Tepe.

"Mr. Wu, your guess is indeed possible."

"Only religion can make people so determined and reckless in building."

Si Xiaoping also believes that this is a place for sacrifice.

But if this is a place for sacrifice.

Why is it necessary to build multiple times?

Ye Zhen said that there are multiple layers in Göbekli Tepe.

What the previous generation built will be buried.

Then new stone circles were built on top of the old ones.

This approach is unprecedented.

If it is a temple for worshipping gods, why does it need to be buried?

This doesn't make sense either.

very strange.

Si Xiaoping has come into contact with many megalithic civilizations, but none of them is as strange as Göbekli Tepe.

It's just Saint Celia in the Vatican.

There are different opinions about Göbekli Tepe.

Why did so few people know about this place before Ye Zhen said it?

Because it was the church that blocked the news.

They once wondered if this was the Garden of Eden mentioned in the Bible.
