Finally, I spoke with a professional archaeologist yesterday.
The 'mystery' of why they refuse to embrace news ideas, or even consider some of Hancock's ideas.
General observations from our conversation:
*They hate Gobekli Tepe. It doesnt fit. So they will, at all costs - try to downplay it's significance
* "Peer Review" is brutal and nobody wants to 'risk it'
*It's easier to be condescending than to accurately assess new data
