"World's First Temple, Gobekli Tepe-Ancient Anatolia" Dr. James Rietveld- Virtual Lecture on February 11, 8 p.m.

Join us at a Virtual Lecture as we journey to &quot; Gobekli Tepe- World&#x27;s First Temple - Ancient Anatolia&quot; with Dr. James Rietveld on Thursday, February 11, 8 p.m.Pay What You Wish Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/134508991013/The World’s First Temple, &quot;Gobekli Tepe,&quot; in Ancient Anatolia was discovered in south eastern Turkey, impeccably preserved for 12,000 years from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A Period (c. 9600-7300 BC.)The temple complex contains the remains of multiple temples with mystical rock statues carved with animals and abstract symbols, some combination scenes, plus stylized human beings, or perhaps the earliest images of the gods or demiurges, with no eyes, mouths, or faces.Predating Stonehenge by 6,000 years, the stunning stone temple, which would have required many people to move the heavy columns and stones, upends the conventional view of the rise of civilization itself.With no stone tools, settlement or society to speak of, and farming still a far cry away, in a world of only roaming hunter-gatherers, the complexity and developed blueprints of these temples represent another enigma for archeologists.Do we have to change our vision of how and when civilized human history began? The plot thickens...Dr. Rietveld is a professor at California State University, Fullerton, CA and Cal Poly, Pomona, CA of History, Anthropology and Religion. His specialties include the History of Christianity in the Early, Medieval and Byzantine periods, New Testament Studies and Greco-Roman religions. He received his PHD from Claremont School of Religion and is the author of two books.
