    Seems the great flood wiped out everything and this (Gobekli Tepei) is a time capsule from the past.

      There was never a worldwide flood.

      Rising sea levels after the last ice age did reclaim a lot of coastal land and we have many submerged locations where humans had villages and cities. The ice age would have wiped out any structures where the miles high ice sheets where they were reshaping the landscape.

      I don’t think we had some kind of massive population or anything, just that there would have been more smaller sites where they were working up to what ended up being made at Govekli Topai.
