In this newly revised and expanded edition, updated throughout with recent developments, geologist Robert Schoch builds upon his revolutionary theory that the origins of the Sphinx date back much further than 2500 BCE and examines scientific evidence of the catastrophe that destroyed early high culture nearly 12,000 years ago. Weaving together a new view of the origins and antiquity of civilization and the dynamics of the planet we live on, Schoch maintains we must heed the megalithic warning of the past and collectively prepare for future events.

No other monument in the world evokes mystery like the Great Sphinx of Giza. It has survived the harsh climate of Egypt for thousands of years and will remain long after our own civilization is gone. According to orthodox Egyptology, the Sphinx was built around 2500 BCE as a memorial to the pharaoh Khafre. Yet this “fact” has scant to no supportive evidence. When was the Sphinx really built and, most importantly, why?

Built at the end of the last ice age around 9600 BCE, Göbekli Tepe in southeast Turkey was designed to align with the constellation of the celestial swan, Cygnus - a fact confirmed by the discovery at the site of a tiny bone plaque carved with the three key stars of Cygnus. Remarkably, the three main pyramids at Giza in Egypt, including the Great Pyramid, align with the same three stars. But where did this ancient veneration of Cygnus come from?

Story
Around 6000 BC, a revolution took place on Orkney and the Western Isles of Scotland. An outstanding collection of stone circles, standing stones, round towers, and passage mounds appeared seemingly out of nowhere. And yet many such monuments were not indigenous to Britain, but to regions of the Caspian Sea and the Mediterranean. Their creators were equally mysterious. Traditions tell of the Papae and Peti, "strangers from afar" who were physically different, dressed in white tunics, and lived aside from the regular population.

Publisher's summary
Built at the end of the last ice age, the mysterious stone temple complex of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey is one of the greatest challenges to 21st century archaeology. As much as 7,000 years older than the Great Pyramid and Stonehenge, its strange buildings and rings of T-shaped monoliths - built with stones weighing from 10 to 15 tons - show a level of sophistication and artistic achievement unmatched until the rise of the great civilizations of the ancient world, Sumer, Egypt, and Babylon.
Chronicling his travels to Göbekli Tepe and surrounding sites, Andrew Collins details the layout, architecture, and exquisite relief carvings of ice age animals and human forms found at this 12,000-year-old megalithic complex, now recognized as the oldest stone architecture in the world. He explores how it was built as a reaction to a global cataclysm - the Great Flood in the Bible - and explains how it served as a gateway and map to the sky-world, the place of first creation, reached via a bright star in the constellation of Cygnus. He reveals those behind its construction as the Watchers of the Book of Enoch and the Anunnaki gods of Sumerian tradition.
Unveiling Göbekli Tepe's foundational role in the rise of civilization, Collins shows how it is connected to humanity's creation in the Garden of Eden and the secrets Adam passed to his son Seth, the founder of an angelic race called the Sethites. In his search for Adam's legendary Cave of Treasures, the author discovers the Garden of Eden and the remains of the Tree of Life - in the same sacred region where Göbekli Tepe is being uncovered today.

Scam!
I should have read through the entire description. Only at the end of the long blurb does it reveal itself to be a total pile of new age bullshit. Not worth your time. This is a pity. Gobekli Tepe is a fascinating archaeological find with profound implications for the way we understand the rise of complex societies after the ice age. That the only book dedicated to it is a new age fraud frustrates me greatly.

Nothing To Do With Gobekli Tepe
This is a ridiculous series of baseless sensational attempts at opinions packaged as fact about....not Gobekli Tepe.... but Eden and it's now uncovered location in Eastern Turkey. Right. I enjoy Collins and tha Ancient Aliens campy versions of history. It's fun sometimes especially when the stories are almost believable. This read is neither fun nor remotely believable. It's a worse than usual slam Christ, Christianity and one God. The true cross came from Eden...Golgotha conceals the skull of Adam...there remains today a lost to time but functioning and attended monastery that has been there since and was part of Eden.
Narration? Hyper intonation and inflection.
Have nothing to do with this non Gobekli Tepe ruse.

I really like hearing the author speak on gaia's ancient civilizations, open minds ect. I'm sure I'll love his book but this is the second book I returned and they both have the same narrator. I gave it a shot not knowing it was his voice. I was driving and before I knew it I had a terrible headache. I have never had such a reaction to a person's voice and he doesn't even speak clearly!

What's with the resting place of the Ark?
Why does the author keep discussing the mythology of Adam and Eve without once saying “this of course is just a myth, there were lots of other humans around at the time, in fact several million over all the major continents”?
Why is the author so obsessed with finding the site of the garden of Eden?
If it is a mythical place then it was never real. If it was real then what was it? The author keeps suggesting that it is a place where there were no food chains, where lions lay down with lambs etc. Really? It is 2019 surely there are no educated people who actually believe that obligate carnivores would live peacefully with their prey? What do the lions eat? The bible is clear that Adam lived to 700 years, surely people don’t actually believe this stuff as literally true? Why are people, in 2019, talking about magic? Magic trees which secrete an oil which stops or reverses aging?
I just cannot understand what the author is saying, why does he keep using the term miraculous?
I laughed when he wrote that some bloke went to Jerusalem and miraculously found a bit of the true cross apparently made of the same wood as the magic tree.
The central idea which he could have put over in an hour, not a dozen, is that there were a group of possible human/Neanderthal hybrids that had some special knowledge and somehow “controlled” an early society to build structures such as Gobekli Tepe. However, the question is why a super-knowledgeable culture would encourage Neolithic peoples to waste their life putting up endless carved stones with animal pictures as some way of preventing another comet strike. Clearly they were not that advanced if they thought carving pictures of foxes and wolves would somehow stop a comet strike. I cannot understand how they could possibly predict comet returns (other than a short period one such as Halley) without using a heliocentric model. There is not a scrap of evidence that humans considered heliocentricity until the last millennium.
I am comfortable that Noah’s flood may well be a myth memory of something such as the flooding of the Black sea basin at the end of the last ice age. Why does the author spoil this interesting speculation by then discussing the resting place of the Ark? The atmosphere never holds more than 5cm of rainfall worldwide. It is puerile, childish, and frankly offensive to rational people to talk about the resting place of the Ark, this would, of course, mean that sea level suddenly rose by over a km in less than a year without any clear and obvious geological trace and causing the extinction of every land and fresh water animal on the Earth. Good luck with getting Kiwis to New Zealand in 9000BCE.
Just so tiresome! Why does the author use BC and AD when everyone is now using BCE and CE?
I was expecting the author to start bible-bashing at any moment but instead he just fizzled out as if he will tell us more amazing secrets in his next book.
If he is going to write another tedious book please could he do everyone a favour and put his cards on the table in the first chapter, I still do not know whether he regards biblical myths as stories based on real scientifically-explainable events or thinks magic and miracles are actually a thing.

Fanciful notions
This is very heavy going. Mediocre narrating coupled with a definite idiosyncratic style of writing do not make for a relaxing read. add in the fact there is actually little about gobekli tepe (though I will admit to some interesting details about prehistoric culture, and some interesting reflection on mythology - then conflated, again meaning the power of what is being suggested is lost) and a *lot* of speculation. all together what could have been riveting became a fight with myself to make it to the very anti-climactic ending.
then, to top it all off the author talks about the "fanciful notion" of ancient astronaut theory (p278 on the kindle mobile app). considering 37 appearances on the long-running series ancient aliens (from 2014 when this book was written, to 2020 - however in total he has 52 episodes under his belt!) this sounds just a little like hypocrisy. you can't have it both ways Andrew.

This is a groundbreaking book detailing the Earth changing discovery of the oldest known temple on the planet. A true work of art and Andrew Collins should be hugely commended for it.
But why on Earth is it narrated by a man that mispronounces the direct topic of the book?! It's Göbekli Tepe (tep-ay) not teper!
12 hours of constant mispronounciation, if you can get past that, this a must read.

Not what’s it’s sold to be
As many other reviewers, I went into this book thinking I will be getting 10+ hours of theories about Gobekli Teppe but I unfortunately it is not.
Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty interesting research and theories that sort of try to link the genesis of Gobekli Teppe and other things together but it’s too confusing at times to follow which strand leads where.
It’s a good book. Interesting. But only 1/3 at best is related specifically to Gobekli Teppe itself.
Narration is a bit dull, 3/5 but then it’s not always easy to narrate a book like this.
All in all, a slow going but an interesting enough listen. If this was a physical read I probably would have given up earlier but I persevered. And it was 3/5. Without a substantial conclusion though so will need to keep digging for more.

Ok, but not what I thought
I went into this book thinking the story around Gobekli Tepe would be expanded - but in reality Collins looks for another excuse to talk about his musings on the Bible and locations therein.
Narration is good and it’s nice to hear an accent other than US or British.

Not that impressed
Whilst this book has some interesting story line there isn’t that much extra about Gobekli Tepe itself

Very smart and insightful
The author very cleverly and carefully puts together a story of ancient ancestry and the roots religious beliefs based around the ancient monuments at Gobeklie Tempe. The author has found an objective narrative about where everything began and a possible solution to why and how ancient religious belief / control / guilt sits within us all. I advise anyone with an interest in the ancient world, philosophy and belief to read this book. There is a lot a factual geography towards the latter part of the story but persist, it’s thoroughly worth the trip.

Absurdly absurd
As an avid reader, listener and watcher of all ancient history, I purchased this book expecting up to date knowledge and factual information on this amazing place in our world. Wrong! Worst offender of blabbering on about biblical nonsense and offending my sensibilities with ridiculous tales. Gobekli Tepe was around Millenia before organised religions wrecked havoc and invaded true history, seems this author has decided to add their bits to that long line of wreckage. Total waste of my money and listening time.

Astounding!
Incredibly well researched and written, on a topic that is largely ignored by mainstream scholars. Expertly narrated and easy to listen to. A joy, I can wait to listen to it again.

Paradise of God
This book is well read, and many ideas lead to certain conclusions in an attempt to link seemingly separate events with a spirit of learning what is revealed from a small legacy of the past. Perhaps with such philosophies as the enlightenment we can remember and learn.

Story
Built at the end of the last ice age around 9600 BCE, Göbekli Tepe in southeast Turkey was designed to align with the constellation of the celestial swan, Cygnus - a fact confirmed by the discovery at the site of a tiny bone plaque carved with the three key stars of Cygnus. Remarkably, the three main pyramids at Giza in Egypt, including the Great Pyramid, align with the same three stars. But where did this ancient veneration of Cygnus come from?

Story
Tracing the migrations of the Denisovans and their interbreeding with Neanderthals and early human populations in Asia, Europe, Australia, and the Americas, Andrew Collins and Greg Little explore how the new mental capabilities of the Denisovan-Neanderthal and Denisovan-human hybrids greatly accelerated the flowering of human civilization over 40,000 years ago. They show how the Denisovans displayed sophisticated advances, including precision-machined stone tools and jewelry, tailored clothing, celestially-aligned architecture, and horse domestication.

Story
Are history books giving us the whole story? Or is civilization far more complex and for older than we have been taught? Our school textbooks barely mention the 6,000-year-old Sumerian civilization, yet the latest archaeological findings at sites such as Jericho, and most recently, Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, have been dated to 10,000 BC. Civilization goes back at least another 10,000 years, if we are willing to believe what our ancestors themselves claimed.

Story
Uncovering compelling new evidence, Egyptologist Robert Bauval and astrophysicist Thomas Brophy present the anthropological, climatological, archaeological, geological, and genetic research supporting a hugely debated theory of the Black African origin of Egyptian civilization. Building upon extensive studies from the past four decades and their own archaeoastronomical and hieroglyphic research, the authors show how the early Black culture known as the Cattle People not only domesticated cattle but were also an advanced civilization.
