I first posted about this amazing site last year and it's going pretty mainstream now.. even getting in the Daily Mail!

Why are they so desperate to link it in with the bibble? Is it really necessary? According to the bibble god didn't create the world until 4,000 years after this temple was constructed.
Last thing I heard the guy was trying to say this could be the work of the Anunaki of Sumer. Which actually makes more sense to me.. after all they created the Eden myth and Adam and Eve and all that crap.
Either way.. just look at those carvings! 10,000BC! And there's masses more of the site to come! This really does change everything. Stonehenge? Pfffff!

I dont think they're trying to biblify it, its just that the myth of the "Garden of Eden" would be set at about that time and just because it was mythic doesn't mean it didn't exist (Troy for example).
The place itself is supposedly from ~ 10000BC, in the time of a Hunter Gatherer society before "The Fall", mans fall from grace, changing to a cultivating and animal domestication/rearing society.
How lucky we are that these monoliths were buried, they're 7000 years older than Stonehenge, the animal depictions are truly stunning, (whos to say that Stonehenge didn't have these motifs but were weathered away)
the workmanship of the monoliths without doubt would parallel the pyramid builders art.
This was a a great find!
