THE MYSTERY OF HUMANITIES HIDDEN HISTORY
![book fire.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRyc2QLPy8wo3KWnAZS16GM5Uh1YrENjJyWHr5peaPQLy/book%20fire.jpg)
Most scholars would have us believe that the civilization of mankind is roughly 6000 years old, with the earliest considered to be the Mesopotamian civilization. But with new discoveries being made each year of monolithic/megalithic structures around the world, those views are being increasingly challenged.
Is our true history being suppressed?
Below are only a couple examples of excavation sites that challenge modern day science.
Göbekli Tepe

Located in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, Göbekli Tepe in Turkish means "Potbelly Hill".
This hill structure was built in layers. Each layer of monoliths took hundreds of years to build,
Built over a span of roughly 1500 years
and then intentionally covered up by the builders, creating another level on which new structures were built atop.
Archaeologist Klaus Schmidt has dated the site to between
12,000 and 14,000 years old!!!

The entire site, 300 by 200 meters in size, consists of numerous enclosures with T-shaped pillars arranged in a circular formation. The pillars are around 18 feet tall with the largest of them at 24 feet.

There is an abundance of other interesting facts about this amazing location, this introduction hardly does the entire scope of this location justice. A few questions we're left with though are who built this incredible site, where did they gain the knowledge to build/carve these monoliths (with what some consider a high degree of astrological accuracy) and why did they cover it all up?
Gunung Padang

Using carbon dating, at 3–4 meters below the surface the site dates to 6,500 years old and
at 8 to 10 meters below the surface dating 12,500 years.
Geologist Dr. Danny Hilman, the geologist working on the redating of the megalithic site, suspects the man-made hillside hides a pyramid structure and claims it could be as old as 20,000 years!!!

Hopefully you enjoyed this post and maybe learned a thing or two about what I consider to be important periods of human history. I would highly recommend
Graham Hancock
to anyone interested in the "forbidden archaeology" topic and looking to further their knowledge base.
Thanks for all your support!!!
with a ton of awesome and helpful people.
Definitely go and check them out.

Ok whoa. I've never heard of Gunung Padang before and now I'm completely fascinated. I'm going to look more into this. Thank you!
I have a few other cool sites I'll be writing about soon as well, but yeah, Gunung Padang is wild for sure.
Thanks again @lenadr
