Countries Turkey
Duration 77 min
Synopsis
“Everyone, everything has a story to tell. Some of these stories never see the light of day… remain a secret forever.” While challenging common beliefs on the history of civilization, the film takes the audience back to 12 thousand years ago, to Göbeklitepe, 12km. away from SanliUrfa, Southeast Turkiye. The construction date of the “World’s First Temple” is thousands of years earlier than the most important symbols of ancient wisdom; such as the Stonehenge monument in England, or the Egyptian Pyramids. The main character in this extraordinary tale is Homo Sapiens, namely “The Cognizant Human”. But what does man, from mystical and scientific perspective know about himself? The documentary shows us how old taboos come tumbling down as we keep scratching the surface. Interviews with experts on archeology, astronomy, mysticism, religion and history combined with illustrations and 3D animations of the site are forcing us to review everything we supposedly know about human history. - When scripture has another 7,000 years to come, what pushes the Neolithic human to create such a monumental sacred complex? - Does the existence of such an architectural feat, before settlement and agriculture, show that hunter-gatherer societies had been much more developed? - Were they so well-organised to be able to build monumental architecture? - What tools did the builders of the temples use to erect 40-70 tons colossal blocks? - Why the temples had been buried a thousand years after construction? - Could the monumental pillars and animal carvings be the mysterious symbols of a code waiting to be cracked for 12,000 years? - Does it hold any connection with the forthcoming civilizations? - In Göbeklitepe, were there ones with a higher consciousness and awareness, and did they leave us their knowledge on cosmic circles as a heritage? There are still so much we do not know and cannot decipher about Göbeklitepe, and lots of questions with no answers. The film aims to reveal the facts and discoveries rather than answering to those questions. In this manner, the intention is to leave the interpretation to the open-minded audience’s imagination. The story of Göbeklitepe reminds us to keep an open mind to the unorthodox, while there are still a lot to be discovered and learned from beneath the ground of this first temple, on this tiny planet, in our vast universe. Incantation, Oath, Insurmountable Circle of Oath Insurmountable Divine Circle of Oath Heaven and Earth’s Unaltered Circle of Oath God is One, and cannot be changed God and Man shall not be divided Sumerian Tablets
