GOBEKLI TEPE 'Vulture Stone' - Standing Stone From The World's Oldest Temple

Description

GOBEKLI TEPE THE 'VULTURE STONE' Standing Stone From The World's Oldest Temple ...Stone engraving of Pillar 43 from the ancient Gobekli Tepe temple complex in Turkey, quartzite-limestone composite, 8.5 x 4.5 inches (22 x 12 cm), half inch thickness (15 mm), with inset hanging chain & back-label description. Dated at 11,000 years old, 6,000 years before Sumeria & Stonehenge, the astronomical temple of Gobekli Tepe in Anatolia is one of the oldest archaeological excavation sites in the world and source of some of the most extraordinary artefacts. Now believed to be a sophisticated astronomical "calendar in stone," the standing stones mark out the classical zodiac, recording the complete 26,000 year Precession of the Equinox. The carved images are said to tell the story of some devastating celestial event that destroyed the known world around 12,000 years ago. Pillar 43, the famous Vulture Stone, appears to be the most ominous. Displaying a precise pattern of astronomical symbols believed to be a 'snapshot' of the sky in 10,950 BC, the carving depicts the well known Scorpion and Bull with a large vulture advancing upon the sun. BACKGROUND_____________________________________________________ Notably, the temple is only about 50 miles away from the largest ancient underground city ever found. In 2013, housing construction workers in the Cappadocia region of Turkey stumbled onto an enormous underground city cut deep into pliable volcanic rock. Still largely unexplored, initial estimates indicate the 400,000 square meter honeycomb structure may have housed upwards of 20,000 people, complete with air ducts and channeled spring water. We seriously have to wonder why an entire civilisation chose to live underground? _______________________________________________________________

GOBEKLI TEPE
THE 'VULTURE STONE'
Standing Stone From The World's Oldest Temple
Stone engraving of Pillar 43 from the ancient Gobekli Tepe temple complex in Turkey, quartzite-limestone composite, 8.5 x 4.5 inches (22 x 12 cm), half inch thickness (15 mm), with inset hanging chain & back-label description.
Dated at 11,000 years, some 6,000 years before Sumeria and Stonehenge, the astronomical temple of
Gobekli Tepe
in Anatolia ranks amongst the oldest archaeological sites in the world ...and is source of some of the most extraordinary artefacts. Now believed to be a sophisticated astronomical
"calendar in stone,"
a circular array of standing stones mark out the classical zodiac and record the complete 26,000 year
Precession of the Equinox.
The carved images are said to relate the tragic tale of some devastating celestial event that destroyed the known world around 12,500 years ago. Some researchers believe it may have been an asteriod collision, whereas mounting evidence suggets it could have been a regular solar event that occurs every 12,000 years.
Pillar 43,
the famous
Vulture Stone,
appears to be the most ominous. Displaying a precise pattern of astronomical symbols believed to be a 'snapshot' of the sky in 10,950 BC, the carving depicts the well known Scorpion and Bull with a large vulture advancing upon the sun.
