Synopsis

Built at the end of the last ice age, the mysterious stone temple complex of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey is one of the greatest challenges to 21st century archaeology. As much as 7,000 years older than the Great Pyramid and Stonehenge, its strange buildings and rings of T-shaped monoliths—built with stones weighing from 10 to 15 tons—show a level of sophistication and artistic achievement unmatched until the rise of the great civilizations of the ancient world, Sumer, Egypt, and Babylon.

Chronicling his travels to Göbekli Tepe and surrounding sites, Andrew Collins details the layout, architecture, and exquisite relief carvings of ice age animals and human forms found at this 12,000-year-old megalithic complex, now recognized as the oldest stone architecture in the world. He explores how it was built as a reaction to a global cataclysm—the Great Flood in the Bible—and explains how it served as a gateway and map to the sky-world, the place of first creation, reached via a bright star in the constellation of Cygnus. He reveals those behind its construction as the Watchers of the Book of Enoch and the Anunnaki gods of Sumerian tradition.

Unveiling Göbekli Tepe's foundational role in the rise of civilization, Collins shows how it is connected to humanity’s creation in the Garden of Eden and the secrets Adam passed to his son Seth, the founder of an angelic race called the Sethites. In his search for Adam's legendary Cave of Treasures, the author discovers the Garden of Eden and the remains of the Tree of Life—in the same sacred region where Göbekli Tepe is being uncovered today.

I read this book because I enjoyed Tom Knox's Genesis Code (novel). I really want to know more about the place. Collins gives a detailed description of the place.

Goodreads review by Paul on October 08, 2015

This is actually three books in one: Part 1) a description and analysis of Gobekli Tepe, Part 2) a study of human cultural evolution and Part 3) a search for an earthly Garden of Eden. Starting with Part 1) the book provides an excellent detailed description of the excavated site with needed detail o......more

Goodreads review by Muhsin on April 14, 2019

Kitaba dair genel fikrim okumadan önce Klaus Schmidt’in kitabını daha okumak daha faydalı olabilir. Benim gibi arkeoloji konusunda “genel okuyucu” kategorisi için Andrew’in Göbekli Tepe tezi bazı noktalarda karmaşık gelebiliyor. Bu sebepten dolayı kazı alanı hakkında “spekülatif bilginin” bu kitabı......more

Goodreads review by Mike on November 26, 2017

The "smoking gun" for a lost civilization? It is getting more and more difficult to support traditional historical hypotheses regarding the development of humankind. The discovery of Gobekli Tepe has turned the archaeological world on its head. Unfortunately, not many archaeologists have come to gri......more

It contains some of the oldest stone architecture in the world, with rings of T-shaped monoliths weighing......more
