Geometry of the Goddess at Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe – Hugh Newman and JJ Ainsworth – March 2022 | Megalithomania

Part 1

Hugh Newman shares new research from southeast Anatolia, looking at the time before Göbekli Tepe, how the site came into being and how geometric principles found in British stone circles are also found here and at Karahan Tepe. Hugh and JJ Ainsworth discovered a Winter Solstice alignment at Karahan Tepe and this is detailed with new research in this lecture. This led JJ to deciphering symbols at this site and others, revealing goddess cults throughout the ‘Tas Tepeler’ region.

Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe

Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe are both prehistoric sites located in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. Karahan Tepe is often referred to as the sister site of Göbekli Tepe, as it is located nearby and contains a collection of ancient monuments that includes the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Göbekli Tepe. Here are some key facts about each site:

Göbekli Tepe

• Believed to be the oldest known Mesolithic temple, dating back to around the 10th millennium BC.
• Main structures identified have been dated to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) from around the 10th millennium BC, with further remains of smaller buildings from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB), dated to the 9th millennium BC.
• Contains a series of circular and oval-shaped structures, with T-shaped pillars and animal reliefs.
• Recent excavations have uncovered new architectural elements and monumental statues, including a painted boar statue decorated with red, white, and black pigment.

Karahan Tepe

• Located in the Tektek Mountains in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, known as the Taş Tepeler.
• Discovered in 1997, but the first systematic survey was carried out in 2000 that revealed basin-like pools carved in bedrock, and a considerable number of chisels and adzes, beads, stone pot fragments, grind stones and pestles.
• Active during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic period (10,000 – 6,500 BC), corresponding with contemporary sites such as Sefer Tepe, Sanlıurfa-Yenimahalle, and Göbekli Tepe.
• Has similarities with the Göbekli Tepe II layer, such as 266 pillars with matching T-shaped architectural elements, and animal reliefs depicting snakes, insects, birds, and various animals.
• Recent excavations have uncovered new architectural elements and monumental statues, including a 2.3 meter tall statue described as “one of the most impressive examples of prehistoric art”.

Both sites are significant for their age and the insights they provide into prehistoric cultures and beliefs. Ongoing excavations and discoveries continue to shed light on these fascinating sites.
