What if the world's oldest monument wasn't built to worship — but to warn? In this episode, we investigate Göbekli Tepe — a site in southeastern Turkey built twelve thousand years ago by hunter-gatherers who had no cities, no agriculture, and no writing. It shouldn't exist. And yet it does. Carved into its limestone pillars is a composition that some researchers believe is the oldest astronomical record in human history — a date stamp pointing to the moment a comet struck the Earth and reset civilisation. Then, at some point, the builders deliberately filled each enclosure with rubble and sealed it — one by one, over centuries. Nobody knows why. Settle in, get comfortable, and drift off while we explore the echoes of the ancient world.
