Göbekli Tepe is one of the most remarkable prehistoric sites ever discovered. Believed by some to be one of the oldest, if not the oldest temple in the world. Around the time Gobekli Tepe was built, the Würm Glacial Age (about 12,500 years ago) was ending in the northern hemisphere.
As detailed in earlier posts on catastrophism, estimated dates are highly unreliable due to a fixation on the evolutionary paradigm, but we can use the ending of a glacial age to date this earliest man-made complex to shortly after the last night of creation, i.e. at the very dawn of human history, corresponding to the biblical first generations of humanity.
Civilization is defined as society with
- political organization,
- social stratification between elite and workers,
- urbanization with building projects,
- religion
- and record-keeping for perpetuation of the civilization.
The first historic civilization is called by archeologists the Ubaid period, beginning at the dawn of biblical history in Mesopotamia corresponding to the region east of Eden settled by Cain. In the attached link to information on Ubaid archeologists date the ending of the Ubaid period to the rise of the Akkadian Empire about 2300 BC, matching the biblical date of Noah’s flood and the records kept by Sumer that their predecessor civilization was wiped out by a world-wide flood.
What we discover from the earliest known records preserved in symbols at Gobekli Tepe, carried forward by the Sumerians in their writing, is a consistency in the presentation and practices of paganism over the course of human history and world-wide cultures, leading to the irrefutable conclusion that these gods by whatever name or cultural appearance are real.
Anu was the chief deity in the Sumerian pantheon, often referred to as the “father of the gods.” He held authority over the heavens and was associated with cosmic order. Also called Ea / Creator.
En-lil Lord {of the} spirits was the son of the Creator sky god An, created after ki / mass / earth had been separated out as a separate entity from An and An joined his heavenly wind / spirit to this substance. Heaven was carried off by the Sky God, An[i/u], and earth carried off by Enlil. He played a significant role in maintaining the balance of the natural world.
This is consistent with the biblical account of Ani YHVH forming a body out of dirt and breathing into it his breath of life, and assigning dominion / representative kingship by the title of Melchizedek under YHVH’s overrule to this new materialized living soul, ha Adam / the human, over all Creation / the natural world, including dominion over spirits due to his direct connection to the Most High God.
Enlil’s prominence and power can be seen in his titles and epithets:
- “The Great Mountain” – referenced as a well-known entity in Babylonian religion by Daniel thousands of years later. “a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image…broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff…and the wind / spirit carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.” (Daniel 2:34-36)
- Enlil’s temple / place of worship was called “Mountain House” i.e. an artificial mountain spanning earth to heaven to house the god and serve as a meeting place to facilitate communication with him and his cohorts. These were replicated throughout the whole world in step-sided ziggurats and smooth-sided pyramids
- In the Akkadian Anzu myth Enlil holds the tablet of destinies, i.e. God’s verbatim instructions given to Adam then to Moses, the possessor of which commands the world.
- King of all the lands” = dominion over the whole earth. It is Enlil who grants kingship to the rulers of Mespotamia. Enlil’s command is said to be unalterable, once he had made a decision, there was no way of changing it.
- “Father of the black headed people” – consistent with DNA analysis of the most ancient peoples tracing back to Adam, in which all other colors of hair, skin and eyes, being lighter and therefore genetically recessive, were overshadowed by the dominant dark genes.
- “Lord of abundance” – providing all things necessary for life, but also in the position to take such plenty away and devastate the land, e.g., in The Lament for Urim, he is said to have “brought the storm of abundance away”, to have “annihilated the land, silenced the city“
- Other gods in their human priest-king representative visited Melchizedek Enlil to give him the “first-fruit offerings” as a gesture of deference and acknowledgement of Enlil’s highest spiritual authority over attaining eternal life.
“Enlilship” abstracts the personhood of Enlil to others, both human and heavenly, who held paramount authority. This is the equivalent to the Order of Melchizedek.
Adam’s Enlilship was misappropriated by the god of this world through Cain, who founded Luciferianism, quite possibly at Gobekli Tepe whose location is east of Eden, which, since Noah’s Flood, has been covered by the Mediterranean Sea.
En-ki, Lord [of] Earth also known as Ea, reflecting this god’s defiant usurpation of both the human role of Melchizedek and the Creator who assigned it. He was known as the god of water / the deep of outer space, wisdom, and magic. He played a pivotal role in providing humanity with essential knowledge and power. This is clearly Lucifer. In Sumerian times, he was connected with the planet of war, Mercury, reflecting Lucifer’s role in the Clone Wars and Titanomacy.
Nanna / Suen / Sin (in different languages) was the god of the moon and wisdom. While sharing Enki’s attributes, he is less luminous and powerful than Enki, i.e. a clone of Satan, given only part of his entire spirit.
The Secret of Gobekli Tepe: Cosmic Equinox and Sacred Marriage analyzes some of the common features found in later religions.
Göbekli Tepe hosts numerous circular and square shaped temples….Six structures have been unearthed as a result of excavations since the beginning of the 1995 season. As of 2015, multiple structures are still being revealed…
astronomer, B. G. Sidharth expresses that 12 pillars located around the center of Temple D could symbolize the 12 months of the year. Sidharth also thinks the “H” sign on one of the center pillars symbolizes the Orion constellation... [for this significance see the post Seed of the Serpent]…
The center pillars which depict the “H” and sun-moon signs stylize the human body, as it is generally accepted. Arms and hands can be seen precisely. Human faces are not clear. It might be that they are not humans, but gods or goddesses of the Neolithic. We see arms bestride both sides of the pillar, and the hands come together on omphalos, or navel…Sumerian goddess Inanna was characterized in a standing position just like center pillars of Göbeklitepe. Likewise, huge statues of Easter Islands were constructed in this kind of sacred standing position (hands on omphalos). According to some, this posture symbolizes “birth” or “rebirth”…
Sun and moon symbols are not seen only on the center pillars of Temple D of Göbeklitepe. Later in history we see these signs on Sumerian and Akkadian cylinder seals and on other ancient artworks…
Proto-Turks once named this symbol as “Kün-ay (Sun-moon)…Chu Turks were using this symbol on their state flag circa 2000 B.C. in Middle Asia…is the origin of modern-day Turkish Republic state flag…has been found in artworks of Hun Turks…on Gokturk state coins. In modern-day Mongolia (an old Proto-Turkish region) the state flag features two pillars and Kün-Ay sign.
Proto-Turkish Kün-Ay and Göbeklitepe’s sun-moon signs are not just similar: they are exactly same! On both symbols, we see a cavity at the center of sun symbol. This is such a commonly repeated description that we can’t say it is a coincidence…
Similar crescent-star motifs can be seen on Aphrodite temple images, and on ancient Cyprus coins…she is corresponded with the Sumerian goddess Inanna. Additionally, one of the symbols of Inanna was also the crescent-star. Hitittes saw this as a sign of rebirth…further research into what might be the first temple in the world made by man…may deliver a message to us from the ancient past.
It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2018 because it has “outstanding universal value.”
Özgür Etli examines what messages the ancient builders might have been trying to impart to the people who used the temples, and what they might have also been trying to communicate to all of humanity from the ancient past.
It can be speculated that the “H” sign located above the sun-moon motif symbolizes male and female togetherness…

Inanna was the Sumerian goddess of fertility and love, dominant in the sky and on earth. She provided the power of renewal and reproduction to both humans and nature. Poets wrote numerous stories about her. Most famous of them is undoubtedly the tale of the sacred marriage of goddess Inanna and shepherd Dumuzi, also called Tammuz.
Sumerians reenacted this sacred intercourse as a royal ritual and a state occasion by giving in marriage to king of the country a high ranking woman of their holy temple. Each year they organized festivals surrounding the occasion. In these ceremonies, the high ranking woman would portray the goddess, and the king stood for the god as they engaged in public sex – the modern parallel being the popularity of modern displays of highly charged sex by gorgeous women and handsome men in nightclubs and by video.
In Anatolia, the cult of fertility is known as of Cybele, known as the mother of god as well as the goddess of the moon as well. It was believed fertility came to earth at the pleasure of Cybele, and she required a husband for marriage – this was god Attis. Attis is thought to die in Autumn, and after is reborn again in spring like Dumuzi.
In Julius Caesar’s The Gallic Wars, it is recorded that the Celtic tribes inhabiting the region of Gaul / modern France were extremely superstitious. and human sacrifices were said to have been commonly performed. Caesar provides one example of the way the druids carried out this task, which involved “figures of vast size, the limbs of which formed of osiers they fill with living men,” These figures are the so-called ‘wicker men’, which would then be set on fire, and the men in them would be destined to perish in the flames.
The annual Burning Man Festival, a bizarre combination of participatory art event and beer blast held the week before Labor Day in the Nevada desert…drew 15,000 this year. The festival, I’m told, began when one of the founders torched an effigy on a San Francisco beach in 1986 to purge himself of negative vibes after he broke up with his girlfriend. However, if we consider the salient features of the Gallic and U.S. events — flaming destruction of a giant wooden man, frightening pagan rituals, torching of the innocent (well, severe sunburn and dehydration of the spectators anyway) — we see that they’re closely related. For more, see www.burningman.com.
When all of this evidence is combined, it’s difficult to call it coincidence. It is apparent that the origin of fertility cults of Anatolian and Mesopotamian civilizations can be first seen in Göbeklitepe culture…sacred marriage ceremonies could well have been celebrated through rituals in Göbeklitepe first.
Gobeklitepe’s T-shaped columns appear to indicate the ritualistic decapitation of human bodies. One small statue appears to show what has been interpreted as a “gift-bearer” carrying a disembodied head. Yet another appears to indicate a human statue that has, at some point, been intentionally decapitated.
The t-shaped columns also depict various animal-human hybrids and now appears to commemorate a devastating event causing an immediate environmental mini-ice age around the globe and possible loss of life.
This is consistent with “God looked upon the earth, and…all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” (Genesis 6:12-13)
The site appears to have been buried on purpose thousands of years ago, since natural burial through water-born sediment build-up, etc., is highly unlikely for the location.
This is consistent with the builders’ intention to survive the Flood, the occurrence of which was widely broadcast many years before it happened.
“Archaeologists’ perspectives on history have shifted,” Ersoy pointed out. “Currently, 32 universities and academic institutions are supporting the research…We anticipate a significant breakthrough in Southeastern Türkiye.”
In 2016, project management was transferred to Doğuş Group, a prominent Turkish conglomerate. A significant issue highlighted by the Global Heritage Fund is that only 5% of Göbeklitepe has been excavated.
The site has since been covered with asphalt concrete, and heavy construction equipment, such as bulldozers and jackhammers, has been used to build roads. Areas that needed to be excavated have been covered with trees. The roots of which could penetrate and damage the ancient stones, making future excavations even more challenging.
These coverups are fortifying the belief that the government is trying to hide something kept in Göbeklitepe, changing the history accepted by humanity now.
Regardless of one’s acceptance of biblical inerrancy – that God will in fact destroy rebels in a lake of fire – even humanists and pagans can’t trust Academia’s control over what is disseminated as “truth”.
Academics are now at risk for being de-platformed, having their papers retracted, and even being fired for expressing ideas that trigger academic outrage mobs. The rise of denunciations and punishment for ideas raises reasonable concerns about what these people will do when they do gain control of institutions, and regarding their effects right now (published 2020).
Intimidation tactics can prevey even the attempt at fair or objective tests of hypotheses, if such tests run the risk of producing data that does not support sacred narratives. Why risk incurring the wrath of outrage mobs and losing one’s job? Many may conclude that it’s better to not conduct research that might help resolve controversies or provide the “wrong” insights into the human condition.
Sounds like the gods and the humanists’ aliens are alive and well and active through their human servants.
But they can’t keep biblical truth underground.
