Excavation at Gobeckli Tepe

Discussion of Julian Jaynes's second hypothesis - the bicameral mind, specifically the subtopic of the mentality of preliterate societies, theories of primitive religion, and vestiges of bicameral mind in preliterate societies.

Excavation at Gobeckli Tepe

Post by HurdyGurdyMan »

Here is a link to an article concerning excavations at Gobeckli Tepe. I found interesting the assertion by Klaus Schmidt that farming and animal domestication did not predate the building of "spiritual" structures, but that it was the other way around. This site apparently predates Stonehenge by 6,000 years.
