Science/Tech See other Science/Tech Articles Title: The Mystery of Göbekli Tepe and Its Message to Us The Mystery of Göbekli Tepe and Its Message to Us (snip) Questioning Accepted History Back in 1991, I had the temerity to announce that the Great Sphinx of Egypt, conventionally dated to 2500 BCE (the reign of Pharaoh Khafre), actually has its origins in the 7000 to 5000 BCE range, or possibly earlier. My announcement was done via a presentation at the October 1991 annual meeting of the Geological Society of America (this was allowed only after a formal abstract, submitted with my colleague John Anthony West, was accepted based on positive professional peer review).1 I made my case utilising scientific analyses, comparing erosion and weathering profiles around the Sphinx to the ancient climatic history of Egypt. In brief, the Sphinx sits on the edge of the Sahara Desert, a hyper-arid region for the past 5,000 years; yet the statue shows substantial rain-induced erosion. The original structure must date back thousands of years prior to 3000 BCE (the head was re-carved in dynastic times). I had pushed the Great Sphinx, arguably the grandest and most recognisable statue in the world, back into a period when humanity was supposedly just transitioning from a hunter-gatherer economy to a sedentary life. People 7,000 or more years ago were still brutish and unsavoury, at least by modern civilised standards. Certainly they were not carving giant statues (the Sphinx is about 20 meters tall by over 70 meters long) out of solid limestone bedrock. Immediately after my announcement of an older Sphinx, I was under attack. Archaeologist Carol Redmount (University of California, Berkeley) was quoted in the media, “There’s just no way that could be true.” The article continued, “The people of that region would not have had the technology, the governing institutions or even the will to build such a structure thousands of years before Khafre’s reign, she said.”2 The initial hoopla peaked in February 1992 at a “debate” on the age of the Great Sphinx held at the Chicago meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.3 As the New York Times put it, “The exchange was to last an hour, but it spilled over to a news conference and then a hallway confrontation in which voices were raised and words skated on the icy edge of scientific politeness.” Egyptologist Mark Lehner could not accept the notion of an older Sphinx, personally attacking me by labelling my research “pseudoscience.” Lehner argued, “If the Sphinx was built by an earlier culture, where is the evidence of that civilisation? Where are the pottery shards? People during that age were hunters and gatherers. They didn’t build cities.”4 At the time I lacked any pottery shards. But I was sure of my science, and I persisted. Two decades later, we have something better than pottery shards, and even earlier than my conservative Sphinx date of circa 5000 BCE to 7000 BCE (I now currently favour the older end of this range, or an even earlier date for the original Sphinx). Göbekli Tepe dates from over 10,000 years ago. (snip) Poster Comment: As new and effectively suppressed scientific facts come out in the light of day, the shell game being waged by the acolytes of materialistic "Big Science" will blow up in their squinty-eyed faces! The mind control and propaganda being applied to change the essential and original spirit of those in the European colonization of North America will have failed. "American pragmatism" does not equate to grossly ignorant Materialism! The early dreamers were an original mix of radical boldness in action with deeply conservative social and spiritual values. Their spiritual views were no doubt constrained by their experience with the religious institutions or Europe. However, contrary to nanny-state, big-sister propaganda, the people stout enough to cross the ocean looking for more freedom also had more independent minds. They saw that they had to divorce their previous State/owner because the unholy alignment between the institutions of the secular state and the religious institutions made true freedom impossible. Zoom to today, where the State has become its own religion, with those accepting the State's label of "Progressive" becoming the new proselytizers, brow-beaters and inquisitors all in one! This religion of the State is more intrusive than any religion previously practiced on this continent, claiming far more power and worse, claiming to be in sole possession of the entire Western intellectual understanding, claiming that its bitch, corporate science, already understands all of the foundational "truths" and resistance is futile! Today's manufactured cult, the MEdiaMatrix, is trying to close all minds, to keep the slaves' perception "in-the-box". To that end, the attempt is being made to convince all the non-technical conformists that Big Science should be worshipped without intellectual reservations, just because B.S. is claiming to have all the answers! In one hundred years, the dominant bitch of the State has kicked out the old dominant bitch (the Roman Catholic church) to the curb AND planted its own fat ass on the throne with an epoxy of corruption. In a clever twist, the new bitch-boss goes much further up your ass and into your undefended mind and complacently claims the right to do absolutely ANYTHING to your body or mind, no restrictions from conscience nor from a vacant compassion..... Back to Pragmatism... Pragmatism frees up the inventive mind because being pragmatic means never having to say "I'm sorry" when your invention disturbs some mentally abstract assumption. Peacefully co-existing with sincerely held spiritual views, the pragmatic mindset allowed unfettered creativity to be applied to practical, physical and social challenges, with no meddlesome blow-back from the inquisition, the nosy neighbors or the religious tool-takers. Pragmatic action was the way a sovereign citizen could liberate physical life from unnecessary work, stress and pain, using a fresh, experience-driven approach to ideas, detached from any cultural cant or traditional superstition. At the same time, being a successfully practicing pragmatist ALSO allowed more tolerance to exist in the American dreamer's character; as long as no one gets in my way (or in my face), I don't mind what others are doing or what they think! This is a short characterization of the American dreamer school of pragmatism. This variation was no doubt influenced by the native American culture, where the vast space allowed "live and let live" to have its day more so than in more crowded former paradises. Nice try, NWO-Totalitarians! Your character morphing, soul-pinioning tactics are falling short! You may have the mass mind in hypnotic trance but NOT in hypnotic control. You have traumatized a certain percentage of the population into turning off their headlights. However, you have not and CAN NOT completely disconnected the spirit from the physical vessel; at any time up until every living slave has the explosive/poison chip, which cannot be removed without highly specialized tools, permanently imbedded in their bodies, the TRANCE MAY BREAK! Oh, the horror! The horror of contemplating the reality that the evil dream to which you have committed your whole heart and mind through several lifetimes, for which you bet your entire soul, may unravel before the lowly peon collaborators get their very own kids to sacrifice! To get so close to the realization of an evil nightmare, in which you would have daily engorged yourself on ill-gotten energy, the life force of dying human beings with souls, must regurgitate the psychosis latent in the fear-based mind, into the sour mouth of nausea.

Thanks for the article and the ping! I love reading about the real dates of archeological ruins that go back beyond what I read when I was a child.
