The excavation of Gobekli Tepe has revealed the hitherto unknown
religion of the Neolithic Revolution." This book offers an
archaeological starter basis for interpreting that ancient
religion. Other fresh perspectives affect our understanding of
civilization, human sacrifice, cannibalism, warfare, and
imperialism. Fresh contextual perspectives are presented on ancient
Egypt and Greece, on Abraham, the Scapegoat question, as well as on
the teaching strategies of Confucius in China-all these are
remotely linked to Gobekli Tepe. The author is a former student of
Mircea Eliade (University of Chicago) and the family resemblance in
his orientation shows. His earlier innovations in the History of
Religions field include: (1) a historical interpretation of Navajo
hunter mythology; (2) recording the nine-night Navajo Coyoteway
Ceremonial in 1974, which had been declared extinct in 1910; (3)
identification of the Serpent as primary deity of ancient Middle
American Civilization, thereby rejecting the primacy of the Jaguar
totem; (4) identifying Neo-Platonism as a bridge leading from
ancient Egyptian theology at Heliopolis to orthodox Christian
theology.
