Gōbekli Tepe’s Decoding Of The Younger-Dryas Impact Event
Incredibly, this catastrophic event also seems to have precipitated the onset of a new religion in southern Anatolia, which, in turn, might even have sparked the dawn of modern civilisation. This is supported in the form of an eye-witness account, written in terms of astronomical symbols on Gōbekli Tepe’s pillars. Specifically, Pillar 43 commonly known as the ‘Vulture Stone’, appears to encode the date of the impact event using precession of the equinoxes, with animal symbols representing the same (or very similar) constellations still observed today. The top row of three ‘handbags’ accompanying animal symbols, likely indicates constellations associated with three of the four solstices/equinoxes. The summer solstice constellation is Sagittarius, represented by the eagle/vulture, on the main panel.
