Gobekli Tepe and Why it Matters

Göbeklitepe and Why it Matters: A presentation by Graham Hancock on the world’s most important archaeological site followed by a conversation, hosted by Graham, with Jimmy Corsetti ( @BrightInsight ) and Mike Collins ( @WanderingWolf ). This presentation was filmed on Sunday 20 April 2025 as part of an event themed THE FIGHT FOR THE PAST held in Sedona, Arizona, over Easter weekend 2025 and organized by World ViewZ Media. Graham Hancock gave a series of presentations, sometimes joined by others for on-stage conversations, at the Sedona Performing Arts Center. We'll be releasing the videos of several more of those talks here, not necessarily in the order they were given, over the coming weeks. Meanwhile, for more context on Graham's evolving views on Gobekli Tepe and surrounding Tas Tepeler sites in general see:

*Gobekli Tepe: Gradual evolution? Or transfer of technology? Or both?*

*Could The Epic of Gilgamesh, previously attributed to the Sumerians around 4,000 years ago, date back more than 10,000 years?*
