WHY ARE THINGS WHERE THEY ARE? We explore some unusual perspectives.

Why do certain places take on significance in the human psyche? How do places of pilgrimage arise? Why are Göbekli Tepe, Stonehenge and other sites where they are? We look at an aspect of human behaviour that is rarely taken into account when trying to explain what our ancestors were up to. The Göbekli Tepe to Stonehenge Podcast is the place where we discuss matters of prehistory at a more conceptual and philosophical level, inspired by our research for the Göbekli Tepe to Stonehenge Project (also see below). 00:00 - Intro & Overview 03:20 - Elephants, water & stone 06:41 - Testing the premise at Göbekli Tepe 14:09 - Testing the premise at Stonehenge 25:09 - Where are the places of pilgrimage in early Neolithic S.E.
