About this listen
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.

We remain curious about the origin and mystery of the ancient world, but by placing speculation in a book doesn’t make it fact.
There are as many truths to the past as there are people who write them.
An interesting story

Great Gobekli Tepe research.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
But why on Earth is it narrated by a man that mispronounces the direct topic of the book?! It's Göbekli Tepe (tep-ay) not teper!
12 hours of constant mispronounciation, if you can get past that, this a must read.
Groundbreaking but mispronounced

Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty interesting research and theories that sort of try to link the genesis of Gobekli Teppe and other things together but it’s too confusing at times to follow which strand leads where.
It’s a good book. Interesting. But only 1/3 at best is related specifically to Gobekli Teppe itself.
Narration is a bit dull, 3/5 but then it’s not always easy to narrate a book like this.
All in all, a slow going but an interesting enough listen. If this was a physical read I probably would have given up earlier but I persevered. And it was 3/5. Without a substantial conclusion though so will need to keep digging for more.
Not what’s it’s sold to be

Narration is good and it’s nice to hear an accent other than US or British.
Ok, but not what I thought
