Every enclosure at Göbekli Tepe was found filled to the brim with rubble. Klaus Schmidt argued the builders buried their own temples — sealed like tombs. Then the excavator's own institute began to doubt him. The full documentary "6,000 Years Before Stonehenge: What Ground Radar Found Under Göbekli Tepe" is coming soon on Mythologia Geographic. #GobekliTepe #Archaeology #AncientHistory

Transcript
00:00Every excavated enclosure was found in the same condition, filled to the brim, deliberately, Schmidt argued, with hundreds of cubic
00:09meters of limestone rubble, flint, broken stone vessels, and animal bone, a fill like that is not an accident, he
00:18reasoned, it is work, nearly as much work as building the enclosure itself.
00:23So Schmidt proposed something hunting, that even in a generation, when an enclosure's time was done, richly buried it, sealed
00:32it under rubble like a body in a grave, and raided as the new circle nearby, then the excavator's own
00:38institute began to doubt him.
