Archaeologist Debunks Göbekli Tepe Myths: Burial, Landslides & the Roof. Dr. Hugh Thomas

Archaeologist Dr. Hugh Thomas (University of Sydney, 20+ years of fieldwork in Greece and Saudi Arabia) joins Dave and Megan to explain what the latest excavations really say about Göbekli Tepe: the burial debate, the “landslide” myth, the first complete skeletons and the roof structure. Then he takes us into Arabia, to 1,700 Neolithic mustatils, 7,000-year-old cattle-horn offerings and Bronze Age tombs kilometres long. 🔗 Dr. Hugh Thomas https://www.youtube.com/@drhughthomas x.com/DrHughT ✅ Affiliated with SporesMD - for all your spore needs...
