Symbols at Gobekli Tepe Reveal A Comet Bombarded Earth Some 13,000 Years Ago

One of the most enigmatic and mysterious temples on the surface of the planet is located in modern-day Turkey.

The site, identified by modern scholars as Gobekli Tepe, is home to dozens of massive stone pillars formed in different circles. Inside these circles, researchers found traces of symbols and hidden messages that its builders–who have still not been identified–left behind for us to see.

The symbols and carvings tell a story of how 13,000 years ago, a devastating comet impact took place on Earth.

Using computer simulations of the Solar System around that time, researchers in 2017 found that the carvings found at Gobekli Tepe describe a massive comet impact that took place around 10,950 BCE – which is curiously just around the same time a mini ice age caused the world, and civilization as we know it, to change forever.

This mini Ice Age is dubbed the Younger Dryas, and it lasted for around 1,000 years.

Experts have amply studied the Younger Drays. And while we do know a lot about that specific period, we still have no clue what exactly caused it.

And while a cosmic impact has been the leading theory for years, we just haven’t found enough evidence to support that idea.

But scientists from the University of Edinburgh in the U.K. argue that some of the carvings found at Gobekli Tepe indicate how a comet strike may have been responsible for a history-changing period on Earth.

Speaking to the Telegraph  back in 2017, Sarah Knapton from The Telegraph explained: “I think this research, along with the recent finding of a widespread platinum anomaly across the North American continent virtually seal the case in favor of [a Younger Dryas comet impact].” Read the free article.
