Göbeklitepe Temples from the Perspective of Symbolology

The "T" shaped figures in Göbeklitepe reveal that we are faced with one of the most "primitive" products of the "archaic" channel, which goes beyond the meanings specific to local ideologies. In the time periods before the emergence of Göbeklitepe, "scientists" drew attention to the antiquity of the "Cross" figure, which only fit their own measurements.

Based on this prevalence, in the book; In order to understand whether the T-shaped stone figures we see in Göbeklitepe are included in the "Cross" symbolism, it is recommended to search for a basic functional suitability. It is also explained that the scene and story of Jesus and his crucifixion, which is the most well-known example of this richness, should be considered as the oldest known example of the monuments in Göbeklitepe figures that have the power to "resurrect the dead".

Revival; In the oldest records of human history, the dying "hero" is a privilege attributed to the self-sacrificing savior, and the "cross" is not only a tool that sends them to death, but also the common symbol of all mythical heroes who sacrificed themselves for humanity.
