A temple complex in Turkey that apparently pre-dates the Pyramids of Egypt. Could this be the site of the worst mistake in human history? (agriculture or religion, take your pick...)
  • I dunno, but it seems to me that we're not yet sufficiently clever or civilized to handle either religion or agriculture responsibly. As a Monkey, I suggest that we climb back into the trees for another few millenniums and hope for the best.
  • darn it - should've known better AND I posted......grrrrrr......right, time out for me *sulks*
  • There, there, polychrome. You made a good effort. No time out, but you'll have to work hard to get a gold sticky star, OK?
  • Relax. You just need more coffee. As do I.
  • *perks up* thanks guys
  • This link does add personal background about the archaeologist. He's a Roman Catholic who lives in the side of a hill with a Turkish wife. But I only learned that through sheer persistence, since the pop-up ad kept flashing over the story...
