This is the kind of silliness that happens when a marvelous archeological site is discovered and someone uses the Bible as an explanation as opposed to just citing scientific facts.

Gobekli Tepe is one of the most amazing sites ever found, and there will be decades of study ahead, but this story is so typical of “selling” archeology like it was a new episode of Survivor.

And there is very little publish yet on this site, so the press will be full of stories like this, trying to find something to say about the site.

Search Google for Gobekli Tepe and adviod the articles about the Garden of Eden and UFO’s.

You will be amazed at the pictures.

I actually have wondered if some aspects of the site itself has been faked. I have a 30 year arm chair degree in archeology of this area, and some of this site doesn’t quite make sense, as of yet.
