My theory of GT being Babel would imply, somewhere at GT or near, there should be bricks of some type.



From p. 2 of:

Now, Çatal Höyük and Mergarh are later than Göbekli Tepe, that is, than Babel, but they are older than Abraham.

GT 9600 - 8600 BC
Çatal Höyük 7500 BC
Mehrgahr 6500 BC

These are carbon dates and in a rising carbon 14 level, they are much closer to each other in time than millennia apart.

Citing relevant parts of my latest carbon table:

Babel begins 2602 BC

42.89 pmc, 9600 BC

Babel ends 2562 BC

48.171 pmc, 8600 BC

2484 BC

53.036 pmc, 7734 BC

Creation vs. Evolution : Refining table Flood to Abraham - and a doubt
http://creavsevolu.blogspot.com/2018/05/refining-table-flood-to-abraham-and.html

	9600 BC	2602 BC
-	6500 BC	2360 BC
=	3100 years	238 years

Only 230 years between carbon dates supposed to be 3100 years apart.

Indeed, since 7500 BC seems to fit nicely as a carbon date for Shem's death:

	9600 BC	2602 BC
-	7500 BC	2455 BC
=	2100 years	147 years

Just 147 years between carbon dates supposed to be 2100 years apart.

So, bricks can have existed before Göbekli Tepe started, and been eschewed on the monumental city and resurfaced later again.

But we could also be finding bricks a bit closer to GT?

I don't know. Çatal Höyük is 337.7 miles or 543.47547 km from GT. It's like Paris to Coblenz. With Luxemburg just in between. On the other hand, Çatal Höyük is, unlike GT, definitely outside the plain they found, it being the one where GT is in NW corner of the plain.

Haran is on that plain:

Located about 20 miles from the city of Şanlıurfa, Haran features some of the most unique dwellings (still in use) in Turkey. Constructed in the past few hundred years from mud bricks that were once part of the castle, the "beehive" homes are not only visually attractive but spacious, comfortable and extremely suited to the climate.

Now, Haran is right in that plain. But how old is it? How long have bricks been used there?

There is another problem, bricks need to be baked by fire.

This is a bit of a challenge so far.
