Gobekli Tepe

Genesis of the Gods: The Temple of the Watchers and the Discovery of Eden

By: Andrew Collins

Narrated by: Shaun Grindell

Length: 12 hrs and 33 mins

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.

A long look back at the dawn of the temple of man.

Really enjoyed the insights to this archeological find. I hope you will look for answers to this dig alzo.

excellent book.

i loved his insights into the garden of eden. an amazing journey through time and history.

Still a bit too soon.

The narration was a bit dull. I also feel it may be too soon to be writing a book on this subject.

Good read..

Super interesting book on a fascinating topic.

Narrators voice had me zoning out a bit much. Had to skip back 20 min on many occasions. But that might just be me.. I've still read/heard it 3 times over..

Thin gruel

LOADS of speculation
Intercalated with fascinating factual tid bits

Not really worth the slog

Meh

Fantastic

Middle section (more technical) isn’t well suited to audio format but still a fascinating take on the site I haven’t heard before.

very difficult book to follow

Very informative and factual, how ever I felt it went to deep into many other things that were on the fringe of not being involved.

The history of older civilizations

This opened my eyes on past. The information is excellent.
I enjoyed listening to this book.

There are stories that I haven’t heard before.

Really bad reading

I like the contents of the book. What I did not like is the way the book was read. The reader pause at weird times, over-exaggerated the ends of a lot of words, and the way he said Anunnaki was very irritating.

Connections

I enjoyed reading this book to learn more about Göbekli Tepe. I especially found interesting the connection with the constellation Cygnus and the great rift of the Milky Way. The reason behind forgetting about our other worldly connections after Lemuria was also fascinating to me. Lots of bits of insight and facts that made this an interesting read.
