Gobekli Tepe - The World May Never Know.

[Byrd]

I tried to explain alot of what you've said when this was posted to ATS.
The only reason WEF was metioned in the original articles is because the Dogus Group and National Geogrpahic are adding funds of around $20 million and put on a presentation at the last 'WEF gathering' about the sites future. As I said on ATS, Turkey is looking at stealing some of Egypts thunder, and take some of the tourism because of Gobekli Tepei being the possible cradle of civilization and farming, with sites around the temples showing signs of repeated settlement over generations. 
Parts of the site had to be reburied to protect it as some of it is very fragile, this is a common tactic now by archaeologists to preserve sites. Turkey is trying to create responsible tourism and attract investment but not at the cost of damaging the site.

I'm all for doing that.

Ancient sites are so often destroyed by looters (or worse, defaced by people who just HAVE to put their name on something or their favorite slogan or whatever.)

People make bad judgement calls, or do something with the best practices of that time (which turn out to be a bad decision later on) and I can see disagreement on how to handle a site.

That's legit.

But "hiding things to keep humanity from Finding Out A Secret" only makes sense in the comic books.
