A detailed investigation of the ancient structures at Karahan Tepe, their creators, and its cosmic shamanic purpose.

It examines the intricate carvings, chambers, and structures, revealing the acoustic properties of the site, shamanic symbolism, and astronomical alignments.

Reveals how Karahan Tepe was used by shamans to connect with the galactic mass of the Great Bear, in the role of the cosmic serpent's head.

Explains how the site builders, who created the first civilization after the Ice Age, have been recorded in myths and traditions as the Watchers and Nephilim of the Judeo-religious tradition as well as the Anunnaki gods of Sumerian mythology.

Karahan Tepe is considered the most significant archaeological discovery of the 21st century, a vast complex of stone structures in southeastern Turkey covering an estimated area of ten hectares. Built more than 11,000 years ago, it includes some of the oldest monumental architecture on the planet, such as communal and animal statues, pervasive serpent carvings, T-shaped pillars, and interconnected underground structures with stone pillars built directly from the rock.

Describing his explorations at Karahan Tepe, Andrew Collins presents the first detailed survey of the discoveries at this site: who built it, its astronomical alignments, and its cosmological connections.

It examines the intricate carvings and architectural features, including a newly discovered statue of a giant human figure.

Explains how the site functioned as a center of shamanic oracles, showing how its structures were used to connect with the galactic head of the Great Bear and the stars of Scorpio in their role as the head and active spirit of a perceived cosmic serpent. It tracks this serpent motif throughout history, identifying it with the biblical serpent of Eden, the kundalini of the Vedic tradition, and the black serpent of the Yazidis.

Demonstrates how the belief in the existence of the Serpent of the Galaxy among the inhabitants of Karahan Tepe influenced the foundation of Ophite knowledge mysteries that were suppressed by the Christian Church.

Providing a rich array of evidence, Collins confirms that Karahan Tepe and its sister site Göbekli Tepe belonged to the first civilization after the Ice Age, now bearing the enigmatic name Taş Tepe.
