Namaste Graham!
Congratulations on your work on Turkey, Mesopotamia and Sumeria. Clearly, you are hitting the core issue that challenges the Western civilizational and historical model, and what they mistakenly call ‘archaeology’.
Because of this, you will be criticized and challenged as you are cutting off the root of Western civilizational and historical studies, from which the whole field will come down in its distortions and arrogance.
You are not a pseudo-archaeologist, as they call us, which only shows how afraid they are of your powerful insights that would demolish their views of science, history, humanity and civilization, which are ignorant and superficial in this multi-dimensional universe of consciousness.
Myth of Sumeria and Western Civilization’s Origin and Preeminence over World History
Western archaeologists propose and promote the idea that civilization (meaning western materialistic/scientific and later monotheistic civilization) began in Mesopotamia, notably Sumeria around 5-6 thousand years ago, and spread from there eventually to Greece, Rome and Europe, and by the colonial era went worldwide, demolishing older ancient civilizations like Mexico, Peru and India, denigrating these as primitive and non-scientific therefore not real civilizations but myths and superstitions. In that way, Western civilization became the model of civilization taught in textbooks and any other civilization, however ancient or monumental, became reduced to a mere footnote, if not shadow and superstition.
The assertion that 11,600 years ago, at the end of the Younger Dryas, which you have so well highlighted, proves that there had been previous advanced civilizations for many thousands of years, which left their mark on later ages. This decisively shows that Western civilization’s proposed Fertile Crescent origins five or six thousand years ago is incorrect, and if accepted, would demolish their view of humanity and Western civilization along with all the political and religious groups that continue to benefit from it.

The fertile crescent activity and development five to six thousand years ago was part of a period of decline from an earlier era, to the Younger Dryas and before. It was linked to civilizations in other parts of the world, from Egypt to India to Atlantis, Indonesia and the Americas and Africa by sea, but also with human groups in the North and in Central Asia by land, with connections to Europe by land as well. There was continuity of communication by land and by sea globally since the Younger Dryas, severely disrupted but not forgotten.
In other words, your scenario from Göbeklitepe etc. would effectively negate the western civilization historical model in the academic and political establishment and show that civilizational historical influences, including by sea and by land, happened throughout the Middle East and worldwide as part of an older global civilization terminated by the Great Flood.

This Turkish site was a revival and extension of the older Younger Dryas Civilization that was decimated in the Great Flood of around 9600 BCE. Yet existing populations were prepared for it to some degree, including underground cities and mountain retreats like Peru and the Himalayas. They were able to maintain a continuity with this older, more spiritual civilization, though in a declining manner. These older civilizational connections were gradually reestablished in the new era of decline, no longer fully understood but sustained by certain secret traditions and lineages of ancient sages and seers.

Myth of Civilization and Technology, Advanced Nature of pre-technological Civilizations.
Technological Civilization is not an Advanced Civilization because it relies upon outer machines and equipment, which can be easily weaponized. It remains dominated by egoistic and asuric forces, both of the Earth and subtle astral realms. An advanced civilization takes us to a higher evolution in Universal Consciousness and Prana, not simply technological media or pharmaceutical control of the body and brain by external forces.
Humanity has undergone previous technological civilizations at various times and levels over tens and hundreds of thousands of years, as human beings of various types have been on this planet for over a million years.
Humanity either learns to contain and transcend such gross technological forces and artificial intelligence for a higher level of consciousness, or such technological forces like nuclear power, subtle electrical and media forces and radio waves, mind-controlling drugs, can become harmful, even self-destructive and bring civilizations based upon them to an end that is destructive and catastrophic. Or they can look beyond outer technology for an inner yogic technology of universal consciousness at an inner level.
For those who would ask the question, “Why are there not more remains or ruins of such advanced civilizations and technologies?” It is because these outer technologies had to be transcended. More advanced civilizations, transcending technology for direct awareness cultures, did not leave any scars on the planet and cleaned up after these technological conflicts and damage to the planet.
Early ancient civilizations, long before what we call the beginning of civilization, 5000 years ago and more, had a higher level of civilization in terms of consciousness, but not necessarily in terms of technology, compared to our humanity today.
Their sages, yogis and mystics developed occult and yogic powers with an ability to work directly with the forces of nature, starting from a geological level upon the Earth, to the forces of the Atmosphere, wind and lightning, to the astrological forces of the planets and the solar system, to the stars in the galaxy. Naturally, this brought about contact with the life and intelligent forms of other planets, or just of subtle energies, like beings of light.
We find these subtle and occult powers like telepathy mentioned in yogic texts like the Yoga Sutras to the Yoga Vasishta that refer to space and time travel, not by machines but by direct consciousness, and the yogic access to higher lokas and higher realms/worlds of consciousness, with our human realm as we know it but a dream within a dream.
Like great yogis and sages, these ancient pre-technological civilizations could access cosmic intelligence directly while continuing their own timeless seer traditions (seven ancient seers and their mantras and lineages, such as we see in India’s Vedas). If you can access Cosmic Intelligence directly, you don’t need the internet and its mere outer information caught up in human distortions. If you can travel in your subtle body (astral or vimana) and view the Earth and the Universe from the sky and cosmic spaces, you don’t need technological airplanes or spaceships.

After 3100 BCE And the New Materialistic Ages and Challenging Technologies
After around 3102 BCE in yogic traditions (3114 BC by the Mayans), a new Dark/Materialistic Age or Kali Yuga began with the development of new materialistic technologies. Prior to it, direct mind, subtle body, and consciousness-based cultures still existed though in decline, more prominent in special ruling family dynasties and lineages of sages who could still directly access a higher consciousness and Prana within their own minds, having a higher intelligence and greater longevity, an ability to transcend physical death for continued life in subtle realms and a better rebirth. Some of these teachings continued as in the Egyptian Book of the Dead and in India through the Vedas, though all these cultures suffered a decline after 3100 BC, in terms of civilizational greatness and outside invasions.
In conclusion, the awakening to humanity’s yogic and cosmic past and future, which is slowly dawning today again, will be strongly challenged to keep the egoistic forces of the arrogant human intellect in power, and its machines and media will likely become stronger in their actions for the near future as it gradually is challenged, declines and is replaced. How long this transition takes is likely to be at least until 2100AD, but possibly much longer, with cataclysms involved. But a new humanity is inevitable and one that returns to the wisdom of the Seers and restores its connection with ancient civilizations and the greater Conscious Universe.
