Review
“Andrew Collins has not only written the definitive explanation of Gobekli Tepe, but he has probably explained one of the most important mysteries of all time: Where and how did modern humans evolve? This is a masterpiece of work that brings ancient history to life.” (Gregory Little, author of The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Native American Mounds & Earthworks and ed)“Here is an author to watch. Here is someone interested in the truth who will take us there at all costs.” (Rand Flem-Ath, coauthor of Atlantis Beneath the Ice)“Göbekli Tepe: Genesis of the Gods by Andrew Collins is a comprehensive interpretation of the oldest advanced temple complex on Earth. Like Pompeii emerging from volcanic ash in 1599, Göbekli Tepe’s last moments were preserved by back-fill 10,000 years ago that totally preserved it as a museum of early prehistory. The extraordinary raised reliefs, pictograms, and pillars—many over twenty-feet tall and weighing many tons—tell the story of a forgotten culture from 11,500 years ago. World-renowned for his explorations of the prehistoric Middle East, Collins weaves together archeological, anthropological, astronomical, and spiritual aspects of Göbekli Tepe. His insights of Paleolithic sky-to-Earth cultic practices open our minds to Eden in the early Neolithic. In my own books, I have theorized that a series of cataclysms around 13,000 to11,500 years ago devastated Earth and traumatized our ancestors. Collin’s insights into this ancient site constructed by humans who were most likely recovering from post-cataclysmic trauma are compelling. This clear and correct interpretation of Göbekli Tepe offers even more! He draws our minds even deeper back 17,000 years to the Solutrean phase to describe human cultural development before the cultural regression. Göbekli Tepe awakens ancient memory to process deeply hidden trauma, from the past because it is a faithful and accurate depiction of the Paleolithic advanced culture. A must-read for anybody who wants to know the real story before “history” began.” (Barbara Hand Clow, author of Awakening the Planetary Mind: Beyond the Trauma of the Past to a New Er)

Gobekli Tepe is an enigma that cries out for an explanation. It is a massive temple complex with some clear astronomical references. Its construction and active usage spanned thousands of years. But its original builders were simple, nomadic hunter-gatherers who shouldn't have been building anything more than a stick lean-to for a night's sleep. No dry recounting of site plans and building locations can possibly do it justice. Gobekli Tepe demands that we ask Who? Why? and How? And by extension it makes us ask who we are and how we became the people and society we are today.Collins does an admirable job at addressing these questions. Understanding that such unprecedented structures could only have resulted from a sea-change in human thought and experience, he connects the astronomical aspects of the temple to the Younger Dryas Impact Event which had caused such a physical and psychological upheaval in human existence. Following the same logic that Settegast had outlined in "Plato Prehistorian", Collins explores how the climactic upheaval of the impact led to global collapse of social structures and widespread human migrations. In addition to the physical affect on humans, the cometary bombardment produced lasting psychological and spiritual changes.Collins traces the wanderings of one group of climactic refugees around the Black Sea and over the Caucasus Mountains to arrive in Asia minor. They leveraged the cultural memories of the people there to establish themselves as a priestly elite with the knowledge of how to appease the wrath of the sky gods. From this position they were able to organize the people to undertake the building of Gobekli Tepe.But this is not just an historical curiosity. The builders of Gobekli Tepe were our progenitors, both culturally and literally. The valleys and hillsides surrounding Gobekli Tepe are where the Neolithic Revolution started. Genetic analysis has traced the ancestors of our modern grains to this very spot.In his evaluation of Gobekli Tepe Collins answers a question that has stymied archaeologists and prehistorians for decades. Why farming? Although you can still find claims that humans took to farming in the face of uncertain food supplies caused by climactic upheaval, this has been proven wrong time and again. Farmers lead a precarious, back-breaking existence, putting in a huge amount of time and labor for a low quality, nutrient poor diet. Farmers face the recurrent threat of crop failure and famine, problems unknown to hunter-gatherers.But farming does produce something that is the hallmark of our modern life - a sedentary culture that supports a non-productive elite characterized by hereditary wealth. Why a free people would willing subjugate themselves to this miserable existence to support a powerful few has puzzled great minds for centuries. Collins has come upon the answer. The subjugation came first; the miserable existence followed.Given his remarkable insights, Collins can be forgiven for the weird bit of how a dream led him to the Garden of Eden. While the Garden of Eden legend certainly ties into this story, Collins could have come up with a less crazy sounding way to explore it.
Gobekli Tepe: Genesis of the Gods was a curious read. This would properly be classified as Fringe Archaeology or Controversial Knowledge.What the author, Andrew Collins, is investigating is the Gobekli Tepe archaeological site in South East Turkey, not far from the border of Syria. What makes the site so startling is not simply the fact that the architecture is monumental, it is that it dates back to the end of Younger Dryas period [a mini Ice Age which lasted for approximately 1,300 years and ended about 12,000 years ago]. What is disturbing about this is that the site throws the theory of the development of civilization [urban culture] into question. The essential theory is that agriculture enabled food surplus which enabled hunter-gatherers to settle down and develop urban culture and all the technologies that went with this. What Tepe suggests is that it wasn’t farming, because Tepe was active before farming emerged, but religion which began the rise of civilization.The site was used for religious and final/death rites ceremonies. Villages were settled nearby to allow the construction of the temple complex and this spurred on the development/domestication of wild grains which encouraged longer stays until the area was permanently settled.Mr. Collins’ book is fascinating and provocative but sometimes tends to push his argument too far. That being said, it is a fascinating read.Rating 4 out of 5 stars.Highly Recommended for those interested in speculative history/archaeology.
For anyone interested in the 'prehistoric' journey of mankind, this is a fascinating account. The descriptions and analysis of Gobekli Tepe are quite thorough and the conclusions drawn seem solid enough - while leave room for further interpretations based on future findings and/or analysis.The author then attempts to connect the dots between extremely ancient myths, place names, migrating groups of ancient peoples, arrowheads, geological events, possible catastrophic meteor or comet hits, etc. While these are intriguing - (and were this a doctoral dissertation, would certainly earn the author his PhD) - there are simply too many loosely connected ties to make this a convincing argument. If any one, two, or three of the links provided is inaccurate (and when dealing with spotty history of such antiquity, it is highly likely that many links are tenuous) the conclusions become null. Nevertheless, I applaud the incredible amount of careful work the author has put into finding as many pieces of the puzzle of 'who we are and where we came from' as possible. [And I especially appreciate that he has done so without making the leap of silly illogic that this journey involved extraterrestrial aliens. . . LOL!] Not every link needs to 'work' or be accurate for this to be a valuable contribution to the discussion, the fact that so much has been laid upon the table is intellectually exhilarating. It gives readers much to consider and could stimulate further thinking and postulation by those with other bits and pieces of information that might refute, correct, or expand upon what is presented here.The text would have been greatly enhanced with the inclusion of MANY more maps of migratory patterns and sites, and I hope in future printings the publishers might consider printing this as an illustrated volume.While there are quite a few illustrations, these are woefully inadequate. Unless the reader is already knowledgeable about the names of every tributary, mountain, plain and place name (ancient and current) of sites across Europe, Asia, and the Mideast, he or she can scarcly follow the author's train of thought without pausing every sentence or so to check a variety of atlases. It is for this reason that I've given four stars rather than 5.
