Just under thirty miles to the East is Gobekli Tepe’s sister site, Karahan Tepe. Archeologists have only barely begun to tap into the mysteries of this secondary location (only 1 percent of it has been excavated), but at this early point, we see that much of its features are strikingly similar to those of Gobekli Tepe. Some experts believe it is even older. (The details we know about this second site are so similar to those of Gobekli Tepe that this section will be refreshingly short.) Right away, we see the remains of serpents everywhere in stone. At the top of the third chamber is the image of a long, slithering viper, which mysteriously matches to startling detail the same shape of the black Great Rift in the middle of the Milky Way (i.e., “the heavens”…note that for later). The “tail” of the Great Rift connects to another, different constellation, known as Serpens Cauda (literally “Snake Tail”). The astrological links are certainly fascinating, especially in light of their serpentine nature.
