Inspired by natural formation?
[edit]Having seen an archaeologist's YouTube video about this site, I am aware that the styles of the pillars are (as the article mentions) more rounded ('phallic') than the T-shaped ones at the better known and slightly younger Göbekli Tepe.
Having also just seen the Front page's 'Today's featured picture' of the natural formation Pobiti Kamani in Bulgaria, it occurs to me that this or a similar feature might have inspired these artificial structures in Anatolia. I realise the two areas are not adjacent, but (a) they're not hugely far apart; (b) there might be similar natural formation closer to hand; and (c) there are many similar as-yet unexcavated sites in Anatolia, and we have certainly not yet discovered the age and location of the oldest sites of this as-yet little-known culture.
Obviously I do not suggest my lay speculation should be put in the article, but I wonder if experts in this field know of any professional speculations or even publications that have made such a connection? {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 51.198.140.169 (talk) 07:38, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
