At <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/233844/page/1">History in the Remaking: A temple complex in Turkey that predates even the pyramids is rewriting the story of human evolution</a>, Patrick Symmes writes: "<span style="color: rgb(127, 63, 0);"><br /></span><blockquote><span style="color: rgb(127, 63, 0);">"The new discoveries are finally beginning to reshape the slow-moving consensus of archeology. Göbekli Tepe is 'unbelievably big and amazing, at a ridiculously early date,' according to Ian Hodder, director of Stanford's archeology program. Enthusing over the 'huge great stones and fantastic, highly refined art' at Göbekli, Hodder -- who has spent decades on rival Neolithic sites -- says: 'Many people think that it changes everything…It overturns the whole apple cart. All our theories were wrong.<br /><br /></span>[Klaus Schmidt - chief archaeologist at Göbekli Tepe - theorizes that] <span style="color: rgb(127, 63, 0);">it was the urge to worship that brought mankind together in the very first urban conglomerations. The need to build and maintain this temple, he says, drove the builders to seek stable food sources, like grains and animals that could be domesticated, and then to settle down to guard their new way of life. The temple begat the city."<br /></span></blockquote> All of THEIR theories (the theories of mainstream archaeology and astronomy) were wrong.<br /><br />OUR megalithic archaeological and astronomical theories, on the other hand, are looking better all the time.<br /><br />We have always linked the stones to astronomy and both to ancient belief.<br />There is more to these stones than just having an ancient sundial in your backyard.<br /><br />The ancients were doing important things with these ancient megalithic sites, as already discussed at the LexiLine Journal:<br /><br /><div class="gsc-blogResult gsc-result"><div class="gs-blogResult gs-result"><div class="gs-title"><a target="_blank" class="gs-title" href="http://lexiline.blogspot.com/2009/08/gobekli-tepe-decipherment-dating.html">LEXILINE JOURNAL: <b>Gobekli</b> Tepe Decipherment Dating Exhibition <b>...</b></a></div><div style="font-style: italic;" class="gs-snippet"><b></b><blockquote><b>Gobekli</b> Tepe is only 12 kilometers (about 7.5 miles) from Urfa (currently called Sanliurfa or Edessa), the legendary birthplace of the Biblical Abraham, and only 38 kilometers (23.75 miles) from his later residence at Haran. ...</blockquote></div><br /></div></div><div class="gsc-blogResult gsc-result"><div class="gs-blogResult gs-result"><div class="gs-title"><a target="_blank" class="gs-title" href="http://lexiline.blogspot.com/2009/08/gobekli-tepe-and-nabta-playa-dates.html">LEXILINE JOURNAL: <b>Gobekli</b> Tepe and Nabta Playa dates - LexiLine <b>...</b></a><br /></div><blockquote style="font-style: italic;"><div class="gs-snippet">The mainstream archaeologists use the absurd argument that since no grain was found at <b>Gobekli</b> Tepe, then it must predate the origins of agriculture.
