Following the
typical evolutionary view of things, which requires much time for
the human
development from ape-man, Bruce Fenton must locate the origins of the
Göbekli Tepe
culture down south in Australia, before its having arrived at the degree
of sophistication enabling
for the spread of that culture in the far north (e.g. Turkey).
Great Gobbling Turkeys!
There’s an archaeological site in Turkey, at Göbekli
Tepe, that has palaeontologists scratching their collective heads.
Dated to as early as 12,000 – 10,000
BC, the site exhibits cultural and technological advances that ought not to
have occurred during a phase in human evolution (supposedly) when man was still
just a primitive hunter-gatherer.
“History is Wrong” declares one site
regarding “The Mystery of Gobekli Tepe” (2018): https://coolinterestingstuff.com/the-mystery-of-gobekli-tepe
…. many have
proposed that Gobekli Tepe can even be a temple inside the Biblical Eden of
Genesis. Is it possible that what we know about the ‘uncivilized and primitive’
prehistoric men is not at all true? Is it possible that advanced civilizations
existed before 6000 BCE and their tracks are simply lost in time? Or is it
possible that extra-terrestrials interfered and helped men to build monuments
throughout the history of humanity? The questions are certainly compelling.
Man was
supposed to have been a primitive hunter-gatherer at the time of the sites’
construction.
Gobekli Tepe’s
presence currently predates what science has taught would be essential in
building something on the scale such as those structures. For instance, the
site appears before the agreed upon dates for the inventions of art and
engravings; it even predates man working with metals and pottery but features
evidence of all of these. ….

This site finds it all so
incomprehensible as to have to resort to the extreme suggestion of ancient
aliens.
But forget those
large palaeontological numbers (12,000, 10,000) variously suggested for the BC
age of Göbekli
Tepe. These people play with, and throw away, 100’s and 1,000’s like reckless
gamblers. Australia’s Mungo Man, for instance, was dated to 60,000 BC and then
dropped to 40,000 BC in the space of a week.
Nobody seemed to
raise a Neanderthalian eyebrow.
Creationist Dr.
John Osgood has made an impressive start in sorting out the Stone Ages in his
most helpful series: “A Better Model for
the Stone Age” (pts. 1 and 2):
The Acheulean era,
which according to Pierto Gaietto, impacted upon the Göbekli Tepe masonry: “Regarding the topic of evolution in general
I am of
the opinion that the strong tendency towards the dressing of large stones at Göbekli Tepe had its origin in the Acheulean tradition
of the Mousterian culture”,
has been placed by Dr. Osgood during the dispersal after the Noachic Flood.
Acheulean
The characteristic
feature of this culture was, of course, the large hand axe prominent in it.
Comment has already been made about the possible relationship between the
virgin forests, an early spreading people, and the necessity to use hand-axes
in much of their culture. The widespread common relationship of these tools in
Europe, Asia and Northern Africa certainly is not inconsistent with the
biblical model of the recent origin of the spread of people from the Middle
East into diverse places having initially similar cultures.
There does seem to be a
definite stratigraphic relationship between the so-called Paleolithic strata -
Acheulian, Mousterian and Aurignacian in ascending order. This, however, does
not indicate that they were cultures that succeeded one another all over the
country, but the principle of mushrooming may legitimately be investigated here
as in the Mesopotamian Chalcolithic. In other words, the superposition of one
stratum on the other may only be a measurement of the cultures in one
dimension. It fails to come to terms with the possible horizontal
contemporaneity of at least the last two of these cultures, the Mousterian and
the Aurignacian. ….

Most striking of
all are the art-works and symbols common to far-away Australian Aboriginals, so
much so that author Bruce Fenton has been prompted to query whether Göbekli
Tepe may actually have been an Australian Aboriginal site
Following
the typical evolutionary view of things, though, which requires much time for
the human development from ape-man, Bruce Fenton must locate the origins of the
Göbekli Tepe culture down south in Australia, before its having arrived at the
degree of sophistication enabling for the spread of that culture in the far
north (e.g. Turkey).
A
biblical view, instead, would have cultures like Göbekli Tepe emanating at a
stage after the Flood from an already fairly sophisticated antediluvian world
(Genesis 4:20-22) – Tubal-Cain, for instance, forged implements
of copper and iron. Those who later became the Australian Aboriginals - who
were not just one people, but many tribes/nations with different languages -
would have absorbed this, and other northern cultures (e.g. Aboriginal art connects
also with the ‘Ubaid culture in Mesopotamia), and carried the vestiges of these
in their long journeys southwards, inevitably losing much of that knowledge
over time and distance. Contrary to Bruce Fenton, then, Australian
aboriginality is a cultural devolution, rather than an evolution.
Ian Wilson,
exploring the Lost World of the Kimberley
(2006), the northernmost of the nine regions of Western
Australia, has pointed out striking similarities between art figures of the Mesopotamian
‘Ubaid culture and the Kimberley’s aboriginal art figures.
The
Australian Aboriginal languages apparently have some affinity with ancient
Sumerian:
Hungarian language belongs to
the family of agglutinative languages. Officially it is a member of the
Finno-Ugric language family. Structurally similar – although in a very distant
relationship with it – are the Turkish, the Dravidian groups of languages, the
Japanese and the Korean in the Far-East and the Basque in Europe. A large
portion of ancient languages were agglutinative in their nature, such like the
Sumerian, Pelagic, Etruscan, as well as aboriginal languages on the American
and Australian continents. ….
