a quick correction: I know I spelled 'Gobekli' incorrectly in the bit where i was searching for it on the wiki article about the Sphinx Erosion theory. It doesn't matter as it doesn't appear even with the correct spelling - that capture was done in a hurry at the end of my production and I was attempting to replicate a search I had made earlier! here is a screenshot showing that not even 'gob' appears on that article: http://www.pukajay.com/gallery/zp-core/i.php?a=Scenery/podcast&i=no%20gobekli.png&s=1200&cw=0&ch=0&q=85&wmk=unchartedx-logo%20light%2045%25%20watermark&check=d916fb29080197cb6bf9f4a033390c31a96eb4d4
