Representations of Standing Waves on the Megaliths of Göbekli Tepe

The megalithic temple of Göbekli Tepe, Turkey was first unearthed in 1994 after the discovery by a local farmer of large rectangular sandstone blocks emerging from the dirt. Excavations of the many giant megaliths revealed a complex configuration of dozens of 'T'-shaped standing stones arranged in three adjacent circles surrounded by high walls.

Göbekli Tepe combines various psychoacoustic architectural features seen at other megalithic sites like Stonehenge and the high-walled temple enclosures of Malta. Many of the massive standing stones at Göbekli Tepe are carved with fascinating symbolic representations in relief, composed of many distinct zigzag waveforms in conjunction with animal forms - snakes, scorpions, lions, foxes, birds...

Two of the massive blocks present reliefs depicting the unmistakable forms of nonlinear standing waves. One example shows the giant standing wave arch drawing down from the sky toward an animal that seems to be rising off the ground by the acoustic levitation effect of infrasound resonance (above).

Atop another standing stone (above), psychoacoustic animal symbols are carved along with three different sizes of standing waves, connected to three block forms representing the temple's resonant stone foundations. The three standing waves and the three blocks are specifically rendered in Fibonacci ratio with one another, overtly referencing the tri-frequency acoustic signature of nonlinear standing waves (as recently rediscovered and mathematically modeled by Cervenka et al. in 2003).¹

These same standing wave patterns also appear throughout the metalwork of the Celtic culture associated with the many ancient megalithic stone circles of England.

Göbekli Tepe, Turkey (37.223°N 38.922°E) is 672 miles from Giza, or 2.70% of the Earth's mean circumference (of 24,892 miles). The site sits roughly the same distance from the Giza pyramids as the ancient temple at Nemrud Dag, Turkey, reflecting the value of Fibonacci #133 (279..) in percent distance of Earth's mean circumference, and the value of Fibonacci #355 (694...) in miles.
