Excavation of Goebekli Tepe has revealed the hitherto unknown
religion of the "Neolithic Revolution." Almost twelve millennia ago
the cult was established, at the northern end of the Fertile
Crescent, by priests who were hunter-shamans, miners of flint and
weapon-makers. Progress in weapon manufacture resulted in
overhunting, a temporary surplus of meat, too many human hunters,
and a decline in prey animal populations. Shortages of prey animals
elicited a priestly cult that specialized in the regeneration of
life. Priestly minds rationalized taking control of plants and
animals and thereby encouraged domestication--which led to
"hyper-domestication," or, what evolved as our history of
civilization and our history of religions.
