wow. first. sweetness
In five minutes four repetitions of younger/older/relative age of the sites with no attribution just an assertion that Karahan's older. Lost trust and interest.
3rd lol
Centuries? It was found in 1963/64.

Massive discovery … read entire comment …
Don't know what "Abraham" he was mentioning, being born in the Urfa (biblical Edessa) area. Biblical Abraham lived 1687/1686 – 1409/1408 BCE (175 years old). Abraham was not living back in the Neo-lithic (New Stone Age) napping technology period.
Neo-lithic – (~7,000 – 1700 BCE )
Chalco-lithic (stone-copper) or Copper Age (5,500 – ~3,500 BCE
Bronze Age (copper and tin) was ~3,300 – ~1200 BCE.
Abraham was born in the Bronze Age. Who writes these dialogues for these video commentors ? !
BUT !!! … There is a massive implication !!! IF … the biblical migrating Terah and family (inclusive of Abraham and Sarah) moved into the Haran/Syria area. Is there any word similarity of "Haran" and "Karahan" Tepe being the same location ?!
This is the land of Anatolia, Turkey, northern Syria, and Kurdistan. This is the archaeological lands of the Catal Huyuk of the Hyksos empire (makers of the first iron weapons ~1220 BCE) … and later biblical lands of the Anatolian Hittite and Assyrian empires. This geological location with these continual successive and militant empires upon this area, must have had all the resources for water, food, livestock cultivation, meadows, fields, technology, population centers, active government and military systems, ….
Did Terah and Abraham live near the populated temple-city region of Karahan Tepe, as the biblical "Haran" of the then Hyksos empire ? !
This whole area of Karahan Tepe, Gobekli Tepe, … then later known as biblical Edessa … and now Arabic named Urfa and San Urfa. Can we insert the biblical name of "Haran" into this timeline of names ? !

What about the Garden of Eden with 4 rivers flowing from it and 1 of them being the Euphrates river ? I believe that is ground zero
The statement that the location of the underground Hal Saflieni Hypogeum at Malta … being cut out with stone mallets and then smoothed with other rocks … and then saying this was dated to 3,600 – 3,300 BCE … and – 3,000 BCE.
This is the Chalco-lithic Period (copper-stone transition age) or Copper Age (5,500 – ~3,500 BCE) merging into the Bronze Age (~3,300 – ~1,200 BCE). This methodology is mentioned as being found in other underground constructed locations around the Mediterranean. This would lead one to say that they were using copper or bronze tools, … and not any of the Paleo-lithic, Meso-lithic, and Neo-lithic age of BS in Egyptian caveman stone technology of banging stones that cut out and quarried megalith pyramid blocks or obelisks, etc.
If pyramids were being built in 3,600 – 1,220 BCE, they would be using copper and bronze tools in their quarries – not stone on stone !!! Even a Theban Tomb of Ani adze artifact (~1,250 BCE) in a carpenter's container has a bronze blade ( – thusly ~3,300 – ~1,200 BCE). Other Egyptian tombstone paintings of such adze woodworker/carpenters
In the western Theban Tomb of Rekhmire, the painting depicts a carpenter uses a bow-drill and his adze and level lie on the ground behind the chair. A similar adze (96.4.7) may be seen in Egyptian gallery 116. This tomb is (said) dated in the New Kingdom period, Dynasty 18, in the reign of Thutmose III – Amenhotep II. Corrected Egyptian dynasties have Dynasty 18 Thuthmoses/Amenhoteps (Nile Delta of the West Bank and the biblical East Bank of Goshen) timeline COLLATERAL with their Middle and Upper Egypt (Theban) Ramesside relatives. The dates of ~1479-1400 BCE are wrong ! The dates of both these dynasties originate in the conquest of the Nile Delta from the Sea Peoples, Hyksos, and Hebrews (and Israelites), living there since 1620 BCE. The conquest wars are validly dated to 1295 and 1292 BCE (the start of the real Egyptian enslavement of the biblical Israelites). So the true dating of the Tomb of Rekhmire is in this 1295 – 1207/1206 BCE range. So this adze could be bronze or iron. The Anatolian Catal Huyuk Hyksos and the Hyksos empire are the first iron workers in the Mideast in 1220 BCE, followed by the same earliest date of an Egyptian ironworker's iron statue displayed in the Cairo Museum.
1:11 Yep. I’m out. Shame on Odyssey for uploading this pseudoscience bullsh!t
This sucks. Robotically read narration, repetitive, no experts.
As someone who likes to watch these videos to relax/fall asleep to, I really hated the loud Crystal Maze ass music you've put in between sections of this video.
Auwful audio mix, I'm out!
Intro tooooooooooo long
2:56 is when it starts
