I know not much of academe, being a simple dilettante. Furthermore, I
point out that you more and more are crediting me with false

three seconds. Where have I cited an obsolete paper?

I said you behave in the same way as academe that rules
out new ideas and discoveries a priori by quoting old papers.
The dates you gave were 1988, 1991, 1998, while the relevant
discoveries, for example the many hieroglyphs on the pillars of
temple D, were made since 2000. It is an ongoing excavation,
many more surprises guaranteed.

You shared no information here about the book, apart "It's fairly
cheap, with plenty illustrations, 106 photographs, 57 of
them in colors, plus maps, for less than twenty euros", or
linguistically irrelevant details on the number and the dimensions of
the pillars found in the site, and eventually you added some illations
of yours, like "written down in a hieroglyph on a pillar of Göbekli
Tepe: a lying H, the upper horizontal bar being the representation
of the sky, the lower horizontal bar being the representation
of the earth, the slim vertical bar being the representation
of the smoke from a sacrifice, and of the rain that falls from
the sky, as reward for that sacrifice".
When I asked you a Klaus Schmidt's quote about the nature of
'hieroglyphs' you never answered me.

Of course I shared information about Klaus Schmidt's book,
about articles of his, about interviews with him, about two
expensive volumes on Neolithic sites in Anatolia including
Göbekli Tepe and Nevali Cori (published at Istanbul, hard
to find). And I gave a quote from Klaus Schmidt, namely
the list of thirteen small pictograms he considers hieroglyphs,
translated into my usual freestyle English, but faithfully. He
discusses the "Stone Age Hieroglyphs" on six pages of his
book (221-226), you can't expect me to give you the full
translation of this chapter.

Now somebody killrate my message
