GÖBEKLI TEPE: The First Graves — After 30 Years of Fragments, the Dead Speak
📅 8 November 2026
For thirty years, the diggers at Göbekli Tepe found human bone everywhere — 928 scattered fragments, skulls with grooves carved into them, bone in every layer of the hill. But not one single grave. Then, in September 2026, the first two intact burials were finally published — and they change what the world's oldest temple was.
The burials date to around 8700–8000 BCE: a family pit beneath a house floor, and a young woman laid facing the sunrise. After three decades of fragments, the dead of Göbekli Tepe are finally more than a mystery — they are people.
Our full film grades every famous claim about the site — the comet carved on the Vulture Stone, the 'oldest calendar', the lost civilisation, the enclosures buried by hand — CONFIRMED, PROBABLE or CLAIMED, against the excavation team's own evidence, and delivers a verdict.
Watch the full film above — it premieres tonight, Sunday 8 November at 21:00 PKT, on Chr Vines. Which 'impossible' site should we grade next? Tell us in the comments.
