Did you know that The Parthenon of ancient Athens was built with virtually no perfectly straight lines or right angles? It’s one giant optical illusion, purposely built to look symmetrical to the human eye. But for that to happen, they needed to literally make it imperfect. For example: - The giant columns lean slightly inward (if extended, they would finally meet roughly a mile above the building 🤯) - The columns are not perfectly straight. They were designed with a mid-shaft bulge/swelling, preventing the appearance of being concave (as our eyes/brains would fool us to think it appeared flawed, despite ) - The four corner columns of the structure are thicker and set closer together than all the others; furthering the imperfection of the buildings symmetry - The top platform curves slightly upward towards the center, instead of remaining perfectly horizontal These various architectural design features were done deliberately to make the building appear perfectly proportioned to the human eye. In other words, this is a profound example of wildly brilliant architecture that was developed by ancient geniuses 🏛️

Hey, I think the Head of excavations at Gobekli Tepe has legit lost his mind. His entire feed is saturated with absurdly childish posts. He’s been rage-posting like crazy, and then reacts like a cry-bully when people respond. So petty and childish. Imagine leading the archaeological dig at this site, only to spend all your time crashing out like this!? He’s even calculating the percentages of angry responses down to the thousands decimal place…like wtf!? 🤪 Dear @drleeclare, less tweeting, more digging. Or, perhaps you should resign and let someone who actually wants to excavate take over? Gobekli Tepe deserves far better.

The head of excavations at Gobekli Tepe was asked today what he would need to excavate the entire site. His answer: “Why would I want to do that?” Unreal @drleeclare 🤦🏼‍♂️

Look closely at these 4 pics at Gobekli Tepe. How many partially buried T-Pillars do you see? Many people are disturbed to learn that there has been NO attempt to excavate any of these Pillars in the last several years. They’ve could unearth them TODAY if they wanted to. But for reasons unknown, they’ve been left to gather dust. What carved depictions are waiting to be seen on these pillars? How are we supposed to learn anything from them when they haven’t been excavated? Make this anti-archaeology make sense….??
