Pillar 43: Memorial to the Younger Dryas Impact Event (Göbekli Tepe)? - Archaeology Ep 14

The discovery of Göbekli Tepe has changed history - or more accurately, prehistory - forever. Here, I explore a possible interpretation of Pillar 43 at the site from an archaeoastronomical perspective. This interpretation links animals on the pillar to constellations / asterisms and sees it as a memorial to the Younger Dryas impact event. Is this interpretation really possible? #archaeology #archaeoastronomy #göbeklitepe #turkey #türkiye #archaeological #archaeologist #youngerdryas #ancient #mystery #ancientrelics #crashcourse #astronomy 00:00 Intro 00:59 Göbekli Tepe 07:28 Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis 14:32 Pillar 43, Enclosure D 24:50 End If you’d like to learn about the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis and get up-to-date with the science, I highly recommend this article by the expert Marc Young: https://grahamhancock.com/youngm2/ Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE!
