Göbekli Tepe: Andrew Collins discovers Second Stone 'Soul Hole'

Explore Göbekli Tepe and ancient Turkey in October 2018 with Andrew Collins, Hugh Newman & Jj Ainsworth: http://www.megalithomania.co.uk/turkey2018.html. In this video Andrew Collins discovers a unique feature of the incredibly ancient site. A holed stone facing NNW that could be a "Soul Hole" (seelenloch), or "portal" that the soul travels through at death. "They are found not only in megalithic structures across Europe, Russia, the Caucasus, Asia Minor, and also in Southern India, but also in the sides of funerary urns, and even in houses and churches in Germany, Switzerland and Austria (and arguably elsewhere). In this last case, round soul holes were deliberately placed in the side walls of houses, which were opened only when a death occurred in the building. It was believed that the soul or spirit could successfully depart the premises only if a special door was created for it. It is incredible that a tradition existing at Gobekli Tepe some 11,500 years ago might have survived through till comparatively modern times."
