1
All right, so I'm going to draw up a...
2
We'll first see a picture of Kobayetepe.
3
And guys, these places were only discovered in the past few decades, okay?
4
So these are new places.
5
We're only starting to understand these places and
6
so this place is in Turkey in central Turkey
7
and this dates back about 9500 BC
8
so this is this about over 11,000 years old
9
and we don't even think this is the oldest place okay
10
so if you did your research you will know
11
that this is basically a place of religious worship you can see
12
that they constructed this place so that there are these t-shaped pillars okay and these things These are huge, right?
13
This is a human being and this is a T-shaped pillar.
14
We think, again, this is all theory.
15
This is all what we know.
16
We don't know that much because this is all recent.
17
But we think that these T-shapes represent human beings.
18
And within these T-shapes are animals.
19
can see that they align or they built this this T-shape in a way
20
that they can practice a ritual or a worship okay
21
so the people who are leading this will probably who we call shamans
22
or religious leaders that help us bridge our world with the animal world and a spirit world okay so these are shamans
23
And so Gobletepe is a place of religious worship.
24
Now what's interesting about Gobletepe is that the religious site is the oldest,
25
but we also find houses that are built later on.
26
So what we think might have happened here is that hunter-gatherers will come to a place now and then
27
to practice religion, because ultimately,
28
as human beings, and we discussed this last class,
29
we have a yearning or we have a need to understand why.
30
And religion solves this problem for us.
31
Also, as hunter-gatherer, you need to associate with other hunter-gatherers in order to find mates, okay?
32
To find husbands and wives to reproduce.
33
And so this sort of religious center,
34
great time to come and practice religion
35
but it's also a great time to feast
36
and to meet someone you can marry and have children with okay
37
so that was the original function of the temple now these places are often led by shamans
38
and what makes them special is that they are charismatic leaders okay
39
charismatic leaders charismatic leaders are people like Mao Zedong Barack Obama
40
Bill Clinton okay they're people who for the reason people just love them
41
and want to follow them okay and so maybe what happened was
42
that these charismatic leaders they built this place and they became like celebrities
43
and people came from all over to meet them to hear them to hear the religion
44
and to meet other people and over time some people even chose to stay with them
45
and build houses to celebrate them okay and then
46
when they died what happened was they still worship them in their death
47
and so this place became a temple okay does that Does that make sense?
48
So that's one theory about Kobay-Tepay.
49
There are other theories, okay?
50
There are some people who will tell you that space aliens came down and built this place because it's so sophisticated, okay?
51
So there are different theories,
52
but the one that scholars most agree with today is that it was a religious center.
53
Any questions before I move on?
54
So this leader, but religions, or honors.
55
Okay, so that's a great question okay where is where does religion come from
56
and this is something that we will look at very closely next class
57
and the answer is is this okay even though we all
58
have the need for religion we don't all have the ability to produce religion okay
59
so who these charismatic leaders are are people who have visions
60
or dreams of God or the spirit world okay
61
and then they present their visions to other people
62
and we have people like this throughout human history right
63
so think of Jesus think of Mohammed think of Buddha freak
64
of Confucius right these are people who have these visions of God
65
or of spirituality or of a new world and present to people
66
and because they're charismatic they're able to attract followers
67
and spread the religion and that's that's what probably happened here as well
68
because as you can see from this picture it was very hard work to build this temple okay this is
69
11,000 years ago they didn't have bulldozers they didn't have shovels okay this all by hand
70
so for them to want to dedicate their lives to building this temple
71
because it took a long long time right it took years
72
and years and hundreds of people well you needed something called religious devotion right faith does
73
that make sense okay and again throughout human history we've seen this So think of Christians,
74
think of Buddhists, think of Muslims, religious faith.
75
So that's what built this.
76
Okay, so does that answer your question?
77
Okay, any more questions before I continue?
78
Yeah?
79
Okay, so that's a good question.
80
Why is a temple structured like this?
81
Okay, and the answer is that there's cosmological significance to the structure.
82
Meaning that on a certain time of the year,
83
what will happen is that the sun will hit this place in a certain way.
84
So it's almost like a clock.
85
Does that make sense to you guys?
86
They designed this in a way so they can tell time.
87
But their intention was not to tell time,
88
their intention was to connect with the outer world.
89
Right?
90
Does that make sense to you guys?
91
So they were extremely sophisticated.
92
They knew a lot about the way the stars worked.
93
Okay?
94
So basically for them, this is science, okay?
95
Today we say this is a religion,
96
but their science back then is no different from our science today.
97
Okay?
98
Does that answer your question?
99
Okay, and you had a question?
100
Did the leaders, like the religious leaders,
101
they made up the vision or they really had the vision?
102
Okay, so if you talk to any religious people, they saw it, okay?
103
They were there, they talked to God, right?
104
So we're like, well, you know,
105
that doesn't make any sense,
106
but they really believe it,
107
and that's why they're able to convince their followers.
108
Okay, so in the future,
109
we will look at someone like Mohammed,
110
who had religious visions in a cave,
111
like you're like did he really see an angel well he thought he really did okay
112
and in fact if we in our research what we discovered is
113
that people use who use something called psychedelics okay you know what psychedelics are
114
psychedelics are drugs what drugs what these drugs do is they shift your
115
neural system so that you see the world in a different way.
116
When you do that, you're able to have different visions, okay?
117
But we also know that if you go hungry for a long time,
118
or you meditate for a long time,
119
you're able to see different things.
120
So from their perspective, they actually saw this thing, okay?
121
Even though, like, we don't think it actually happened.
122
Does that make sense?
123
For them, it's true.
124
But maybe for us, it's not so true.
125
Okay.
126
All right.
127

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
