The rock blocks you see in the photo, weighing several tons and up to nearly 7 meters high, are at least 11,000 years old, according to C14 radiocarbon analysis. They are just a few of the countless pillars that made up the settlement of Göbekli Tepe, on the border between Turkey and Syria. The civilization that built this and similar settlements still has no name. In fact, until recently their existence was completely unknown.

We do know a few things about them, however. They did not practice agriculture, since all the seeds found within Göbekli Tepe are wild, and not cultivated. Nor did they practice animal husbandry, since the very large number of meat remains found (it seems that they had huge feasts) are all from game, and not from farm animals. Moreover, the stylized statues in the center of the stone circles wear loincloths. This means that it must not have been cold at the time of Göbekli Tepe's construction. All these elements suggest that the original settlement may probably be much older than it appears. Perhaps even thousands of years older.

It is not a burial site, since not a single corpse has been found inside. It is not a shrine, since the depiction of even one god or deity does not appear. It does not appear to have been a town or village, since it seems to lack an appropriate water source to quench the thirst of a substantial group of people. What is it then? All over the walls of Göbekli Tepe are engraved hundreds of “snakes” descending from 'above, from the sky. Heavenly beings appear from which these “snakes” emerge. According to astronomers, about 12,000 years ago a swarm of asteroids or comets heavily bombarded the Earth, destroying entire territories on 4 continents. It was a momentous devastation. Most likely, Göbekli Tepe is a “memorial” to the time when “fiery serpents,” or comet fragments raining down from above, destroyed the world.
...
But if Göbekli Tepe is a memorial to the cataclysm that struck us some 12,800 years ago, where are the cities of the builders? What customs did they have? More importantly, where did they come from?
