It says at the latitude of Göbekli Tepe, Sirius would have been below the horizon until around 9300 BC, when it would have suddenly popped into view. So why would they build a temple to worship this star before they could see it?

28 Aug '13 20:14Originally posted by sonhouseThe thing that is so unusual about Göbekli Tepe, though, are some of the inscriptions on these stones. I've heard (I don't know because I haven't been there to see for myself) that some of the markings on the stones appear to resemble airplanes, helicopters and such technological items. Some people have gone so far as to claim that Göbekli Tepe was a spaceport. I say there's at least more there than meets the eye.
And not a day older🙂
28 Aug '13 20:28Originally posted by SuzianneThe markings are rather more likely to be representations of animals, since a simple representation of a bird could be mistaken for a plane. The sphinx could be that old, but not the pyramids; they only started building step pyramids in the first kingdom and the first true pyramid was built in the 4th dynasty.

29 Aug '13 00:23Originally posted by PenguinKudos to Suzianne generally, for being a thoughtful and intelligent poster, who stands, in my mind, as a shining example (with some others, and shining examples here in the past—such as lucifershammer and Nemesio) against attempts to paint all Christians (and folks of other religions) as “primitivist” (for lack of a better word at the present). I surely disagree with her more often than not (on religious matters), but I appreciate her presence here. (And she has always responded graciously to me, even when my posts were perhaps less gracious in their tenor than I generally try to be, and less than deserving of the kind of response she gave.)
Kudos to Suzianne for spotting that, and shame on the rest of us for missing it!

29 Aug '13 05:31Originally posted by SuzianneYou are right. I did not think to do any adding. I was only thinking of subtracting, since the dates were so far out there. However, I still doubt the dates they assigned are that old.
9300 BC + 2013 AD = 11,313 years.
I know, math is hard.
