Revealing the mysteries of LEPENSKI VIR - 6,200 years BCE

Описание: "The more I learn, the less I know" as George Harrison sang on the Beatles' Yellow Submarine album in 1967.*

That could easily become the Prehistory Guys' theme ... and exemplified in our first forays into the literature surrounding Lepenski Vir. We already took first steps in this week's Monday Moot on our Patreon site (  / monday-moot-173-131057651  ) and this Göbekli Tepe to Stonehenge podcast stretches us even further - we hope we're establishing a firm foundation for a trip to Serbia in October of this year and that you can begin to get an idea of the complications and contradictions the site presents.

Love to hear your thoughts ...

*Also in a form attributed to Albert Einstein: "The more I learn, the more I realise how little I know". However, the provenance of the quote seems insecure.
