What About Gary Bates? · I forgot one objection he could have ... still on Göbekli Tepe

Now, suppose Gary Bates had said "never heard of GT" - I suppose he could have used that as an explanation why he refuses to look at my option. Suppose again ...

I forgot the most obvious, since I answered it so often I forget some have not heard of it.

No, if "a tower, the top of which shall reach into heaven" was a rocketry attempt, we would also not expect to find:

• a tall tower
• a toppled tall tower.

But if city still means city or any kind of even temporary conglomeration, we would expect to find a site with an abandoned city. We do find that in Göbekli Tepe.

And as for base of a tower, if you insist on excluding the rocket solution, it could be argued, the oldest three circular towers in GT were an attempt to triangulate the distance to the sky before starting the "skyscraper" proper, as the celestial body observed for testing appeared totally in parallel in all three, they gradually widened the view more and more outwards, and Nimrod would probably after another failed attempt of triangulating the distance state:

"OK, we will have to go another mile further out, but this time we will do it!"

Next morning, he did not behead anyone reluctant as he used to, he would say:

"Como dize ayer ..."*

and one would answer:

"Was sagst du?"*

and one would reply:

"Carson a tha a h-uile duine a ’bruidhinn gu neònach?"*

and then someone:

"Jeśli nie zauważyliście, wszyscy dziwnie mówią."*

As you may know, it would take about a quarter of the globe to triangulate the distance to the Moon ... God was very merciful to Nimrod's enslaved work force, they really needed the vacation. I took Spanish, German and Scots Gaelic, finally Polish, as standins for the early post-Babel languages, these were not modern languages, languages have changed naturally over time as well as artistically. English is here the standin for the presumably more or less Hebrew pre-Babel language.

But God's deed makes equal sense, if instead of getting one mile further out to finally triangulate the height of a skyscraper, Nimrod's last words to be understood by all were:

"Tomorrow, I'll send people up the Frat direction and across Atlantis for some Uranium ..."

I mean, fuelling a rocket (even one in purest ceramics or whatever) with Uranium is not very safe, and when the rocket finally was launched 4500 years later, it was replaced by 2 H₂ + O₂ = 2 H₂O. Water is a way to get rockets up, as water baptism is a way to get souls even further up.

Hence, I am not into dismissing GT for lack of any skyscraper-like structure.

* His words from Spanish : "as I said yesterday," next guy from German "what are you saying?" and third guy from Scots Gaelic "why is everyone talking strangely?" while fourth guy says in Polish (originally 2nd sg, corrected to pl) "if you didn't notice, everyone is talking strangely." Credits to Asterix and Cleopatra and a few more for the idea on how to depict a Babel conversation - as Goscinny's maternal grandfather was a rabbi, he may even had the idea from retellings in the family of the Babel story.

** To avoid another Babel, I'd like to add, I am not signing my work with two alternative names for myself, but with two alternative ways of designating today. Today is feast of St. Francis (of Assisi, not of Sales, not Borgia) and today is 4.X - fourth October. Why? Bc the feast of St. Francis of Assisi is on October 4th!
