Re: Armenian Stone Henge Story - CNN

Wow, couple things...
(1)U MAD BRO?!



(2) We're not talking about politics, so your "shot at me" is out of place.

So I'll say it again. I don't expect you to understand politics.

Here is another article about the Gobekli Tepe site.

http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/gobekli-tepe.html?c=y&page=2

On the second page it eloquently says "The gulf that separates us from Gobekli Tepe's builders is almost unimaginable. Indeed, though I stood among the looming megaliths eager to take in their meaning, they didn't speak to me. They were utterly foreign, placed there by people who saw the world in a way I will never comprehend." Yet, if Gobekli Tepe were in the territory of present-day Armenia, Kanadahye would claim its builders to be Armenians! My reply to Kanadahye's question was dismissive becasue the whole premise of his question was so utterly wrong.

No, I know sites like Gobekli Tepe are B.S. collaborations made by the German-Turko alliances. Nobody gives a sh!t about some rocks so let's not pretend that it's some huge discovery. Of course, you like to pander to the Turkish lobby because they let all of your kind excavate on ancient Armenian land.

Re: Armenian Stone Henge Story - CNN

I don't even know why you mad, bro...
I tried to explain what Bell was saying, I didn't take a position on it myself because if I did, it wouldn't be an informed one. Instead, I thought, "hmm interesting, I'll need to look into this" and moved on.
If you could override your gut reaction to be disagree with me on everything and actually read what I say, I don't think we'd argue nearly half as much. You don't like me because I'm a scientist, I'm a nontheist, and/or whatever else motivates your dislike and that's fine, you don't need to, but you shouldn't let it get the better of you. Don't think I didn't notice you changed your signature within minutes of me changing mine last week. You read my posts looking for something to express opposition to and that's not a rational and unbiased approach to anything.

What does this have to do with anything? I was calling out Bell because he knows exactly why he posted that crap about Gobekli Tepe. He's not as dumb as he looks, he knows it's in Cilicia.

It looked to me (from other maps I googled) that it was awfully close to Cilicia too. Wasn't Cilicia founded more recently than the 5000 years ago they're thinking this "observatory" was built? This is why I said I didn't take a position...
And, if it's about Bell why in the world are you arguing with me?

I wasn't arguing... I was trying to explain to you the "tactics" that are often used to discredit Western Armenia.

Thank you. I've contacted the Smithsonian Magazine about this (stmarytoronto.com) website.
I don't know what aspect of it their lawyers will find the most offensive and actionable: the use of copyrighted text and photographs, or the altering of the original text to display bigoted ideology.

I hope you are not as dumb as your writings (and I hope the person who wrote that CNN voiceover is not as dumb as his words). Urfa is not in Cilicia. Urfa is not in "historical Armenia". Not to mention that Gobekli Tepe predates the existence of Armenia by some 8000 years. I suggest you go live in Azebaijan - they love your sort of "history" there.
