One of the creepier ideas on the purpose of this place and why they buried it comes from a viewer of the video:

The purpose of the 12500 year old ruins at Gobekli Tepe were for a pre agricultural temple of DEATH. Why do you think the 1) stoneage people tried to bury it many many times and then about 10,000 years ago buried for good,,,,,IT WAS EVIL, This looked like an empty location of uninhabited land for miles in all directions so why would they build it here???,,,,,2) TO HIDE the dirty deeds far from the sight of the good people of this time. 3) But only beings capable of utilizing high technology to transport,carve and erect these massive stone structures in such a remote place could have been responsible because of the advanced methods needed to work these heavy and awkward stone materials with great care and accuracy. They say”it’s a temple”,,???,,,,,,What?,,,,,What’s wrong with this picture???

And an even more controversial theory is that this is an elaborate hoax:

Where, when, and who found it, are the key questions as to whether or not this is a fake. I think it may be. I wouldn’t be getting this excited about a piece without those questions answered first. And this guy is making money talking and writing about GT so it may be a money driven hoax. People are making quick money off this (GT).

Do you agree with either of these theories or is it something else?  We have a feeling that this particular place will be the subject of many more discussions.
