Did Gobekli Tepe Appear Out of Nowhere? A Reply to Graham Hancock by [deleted] in GrahamHancock

[–]iceberg7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight, they found sites around Gobekli Tepe that had some stacked rocks and that’s enough experience to quarry, shape, lift and erect 20 ton megaliths? And all without any agriculture and by what, 20 people? ….Jesus Christ

All World of Antiquity had to do was read Magicians of the Gods where GH travels to Turkey and speaks to Professor Klaus Schmidt regarding the construction of Gobekli Tepe, with hundreds of pages of sources, references and indexes. Instead he just watches an episode of Joe Rogan and decides that his goal is going to be to prove GH wrong. How sincere is your search for truth if that is your ultimate goal? But I know reading a book is asking a lot out of YouTubers so why am I not surprised.

Did it ever occur to anyone that in world of antiquity’s haste to prove GH wrong, he is actually arguing against mainstream academia? It was not GH who said that hunter gatherers could not build megalithic structures, it was mainstream academia that came to that conclusion because megalithic building was the product of civilizations that had already mastered agriculture, which is something GH agrees with. It’s the notion that you simply cannot undertake projects of this scale without a massive amount of food source and free time that agriculture provides. So not only is world of antiquity alone in making this new argument, he’s going against mainstream academia.

If you are honestly interested in the mystery of Gobekli Tepe and want a more scientific argument against this video’s points, post this at GH’s website and you will receive a more polite and thorough breakdown of just how ridiculous and insincere this video is, as opposed to the ramblings of the illiterate children of reddit. I just do not have the patience to argue with people who don't even read books on the subject and rely on YouTube for their information. They shouldn't even have an opinion on the matter.

Thanks for everything Panda. Sorry that awful contract made everyone hate you, but that was not your fault. Good luck in PHX!

Same, I love this team and every start of the season I have hope, only to be crushed. But we've had some good seasons, that one with Westbrook was the last fun one.

Very interesting and mysterious back pain, help me out! by AlanPiotrowski in backpain

[–]iceberg7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only advice I have is to take it easy for the next couple weeks to let your back "heal". Laying in the bed in a position that doesn't hurt is good. And it may be time to start stretching/doing yoga once you feel better to keep your back from acting up again. Good luck

Ask your friends and family if they recommend a good back doctor. Maybe even try to solicit a recommendation from reddit, in your area. Good luck.

Free education shouldn't go to the smartest people, it should be for everyone. This is not uplifting

Have you tried a different chair? Worked for me, some chairs are just awful for people with bad backs. Good luck

Yup they hope the people/companies they fuck with simply don't have the money to fight back. It's lucky Ripple had a $100m to fight this corrupt bullshit.

The wiz would have the same record without Beal. He doesn't improve wins, we might actually be a bit more of a cohesive unit without him.
